This is probably the most unexpected celebrity news of the day, but it seems Alex Reid may finally have found the perfect vehicle for his acting ambitions.The cage fighter and Celebrity Big Brother winner may still be best known as the soon-to-be former Mr Katie Price, but he is hoping that a role in a new touring play called Wildboyz will kick start his acting career in earnest.
He will be joined in the cast by former Big Brother housemate Dale Howard, Corrie star Danny Young and Hollyoaks actor Marcus Patrick.
The play's plot centres on a group of guys on holiday in Spain who get stranded by a volcanic ash cloud and are persuaded to stand in for a troupe of male strippers who are unable to get there.
With hilarious consequences we're sure.
Alex said: "Well I will be living in the gym from now until we hit the road, I can't wait to get on tour and perform.
"What really impressed me with this show is how funny it is and a great opportunity to show off - my acting skills of course. It should be a great laugh."
Alex has previously said he wants to have a similar career to Robert de Niro, and Ross Kemp.
