KATIE PRICE SPOILS NEW MAN

Katie Price has splashed out $6,000 on lavish gifts for her new man.

The glamor model – who is reportedly dating cage fighter Alex Reid following her split from husband Peter Andre in May – apparently treated the hunk to a diamond Chanel watch and a signed photograph of herself for his 34th birthday on Tuesday (July 21, 2009).

The hard man received the surprise gifts at his home in Aldershot and she penned a heartfelt message on the framed picture. She wrote: "I feel a great connection with you."

Meanwhile, friends of Alex – who worked as a stuntman on the movie "Saving Private Ryan" - are reportedly concerned with the pair's blossoming romance.

One wrote on his page on social networking website Facebook: "You'd better be careful around that ample bosom."

Earlier this week, it was claimed Alex – whose ring name is "The Detonator" – had spent the night at the 31-year-old beauty's marital home at the weekend and wore some of her estranged husband's clothes.

A source said: "She thinks Alex is the complete opposite to her ex. He's a fearsome opponent, a real animal and would have Peter for breakfast."

"Alex went back to her house after a night of partying, and didn't bring a change of clothes. He ended up wearing some of Peter's which he had left behind."
