In a story that defies belief, Alex Reid has been accused by wife Katie Price of advertising her children for sale on E-bay.
Price (32) has three children, Harvey(8), Junior (5) and Princess (3). All three are currently listed for sale on the E-bay site.
Price, apparently only became aware of the listing when one interested buyer e-mailed her asking if there was a 'Buy-It-Now' price for Junior.
Reid (34) has attempted to play down this sorry story by saying that 'it was simply a joke taken too far....although the money would have come in useful'
Peter Andre, the natural father of Junior and Princess has expressed his outrage and has pointed to this event as yet another reason why he should be awarded custody of the children. He was unable to comment further under advice from his lawyers.
Dwight Yorke, the foot-baller and natural father to Harvey when asked to make a comment, replied that he 'would not be making a bid'.
E-bay have stated that the listings will be withdrawn and will review it's policy with regards to the sale of children.
