Alex Reid 'to work as fitness expert'

Alex Reid is planning to reinvent himself as a Mr Motivator-style fitness guru, a report has claimed.

According to the Daily Star, the cage fighter is rethinking his career prospects after failing to secure television and movie roles as he had hoped.

A source told the newspaper: "If there is one thing Alex knows about, it's how to look after your body, you only need to look at him to see that.

"His time in the Celebrity Big Brother house really showed people what he is made of and he needs to exploit that."

Reid recently hinted at a fitness expert role by revealing that he would consider releasing a workout DVD with wife Katie Price. He said: "I'd love that, it'd be great."

Mr Motivator - real name Derrick Evans - was a regular on GMTV in the '90s and made a brief return to the breakfast programme last year.
