Alex Reid has claimed his ex-wife’s announcement of her split from Kieran Hayler, which has been made ahead of her upcoming eight-day tour, are ‘conveniently timed’.

Katie Price revealed that she is splitting from Hayler after claiming she found e-mails confirming he had a 12 month affair with nanny Nikki Brown. Brown has vehemently denied the allegations.

Reid, who was married to Price for two years, said he feels sorry for Hayler who he claims is being “controlled” by Price.

“It’s extremely convenient timing, one million per cent,” he told the Mirror. “There’s no coincidence here. This whole situation is a great money making opportunity.

“Having been in a similar situation, and understanding how difficult it must be for Kieran I feel sorry for him. He’s clearly signed an NDA and anything he does say is being controlled.”

He continued: “I also feel sorry for the nanny accused. There’s no factual evidence to prove what’s happened. In fact, the nanny denied everything, also claiming that Katie owes her money.

“Knowing Katie, it all seems very convenient.”

Price opened up about her marriage struggles last weekend, telling The Sun that she was screaming like a “lunatic” when “monster” Hayler allegedly confessed to cheating.

“Kieran told me they were f****** all over my house for a year,” she said.

“They had sex everywhere except in our bedroom, they even did it in the kids’ bathroom.

“When I confronted him he denied it at first, even when I said she’d admitted it. I was crying, asking, ‘How could you do this to me again?’”

The news comes months after he and Price renewed their vows in a ceremony held in the Maldives.

They first tied the knot in 2013 and have two children together, son Jett, four, and daughter Bunny, three.

Price also has son Harvey, 15, with Dwight Yorke and son Junior, 12, and Princess, 10, with first husband Peter Andre.
