Alex Reid put on a diet by Katie Price
According to new! magazine, the model has told him to slim down by eating grilled chicken and vegetables.
She allegedly told the cage fighter that he looked fat following recent weight gain, but the new diet seems to be working.
A friend of the Celebrity Big Brother winner told the magazine: "He's lost 9lbs in the last week alone. Alex is absolutely starving.
"Katie's ordered a chef to cook him all his meals and they all consist of greens and grilled chicken along with a load of vitamins."
The model, who married Reid after his stint in the Big Brother house, is reported to have told him he needed to lose weight after seeing a picture of him in India, where he was filming new reality show The Fight of His Life.
Katie Price, also known by her modelling name Jordan, was previously married to Peter Andre.
