Alex Reid's mum has spoken out about her son being dumped by Katie Price on national television.

Ditched: Katie Price announced that she was ending her relationship with Alex Reid live on air

The concerned mother says she is worried about the cage fighter and thinks Katie acted cruelly.

She said: "I watched the TV last night and it seemed very cruel the way she spoke about Alex. He really loved her and gave up a lot for her and this is how he gets treated by her.

"I can't get through to him at the moment and I really want to speak to him.

"All I know is that he is in Australia and his phone is off. He must be upset. I am worried for him."

The glamour model dumped Alex after walking out from I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! two weeks before her contract was up.

She announced the split live on ITV, adding: "I've done a lot of reflecting. I think it's best I'm on my own, I just don't want to be in a relationship. I hope we can remain friends."

Katie is said to have summoned Alex to her hotel room after leaving the jungle to tell him she was fed up with him "making money from her."

Last night Ant and Dec spoke to her live on air for the first time since her departure.

When asked if Alex, 34, was still her boyfriend, she replied: "I'm not with him."

"I know people might think it's harsh, but a lot of things have happened since I came out, I've done a lot of thinking in there, lots of things shouldn't have happened while I was in there and they have.

"I can't live my life by everyone else, I have to think of me and my children."
