Alex Reid has released a public video message to his ex Chantelle Houghton - asking her to keep their relationship problems private.

The former cagefighter told Chantelle, mother to their baby daughter Dolly, that he loved her in the video, released on Now magazine's website.

In the message he told the reality TV star: "Chantelle, I love you, I really love Dolly and I really want us to work. But things really have to change. I want it to work. There's been so many untruths said, and I feel if I don't say something, it's going to get worse and worse. Things have to change."

Katie Price's ex said in the video, released by Now magazine: "You can't keep venting your anger to me in your column... Every couple argues but you don't need to tell the world our problems."

The couple had been together for six months when they got engaged last October.

Alex was recently released without charge by police after he was arrested over a disturbance involving the former Big Brother star.
