!["Abscess in the throat": Katie Price's ex Alex Reid in the hospital](https://content2.promiflash.de/article-images/video_480/alex-reid-im-krankenhaus.jpg)
He has health concerns! Actually, Alex Reid (48) couldn’t be happier at the moment: After his separation from Katie Price (45) in 2011, the athlete found love in Nikki Manashe. Last June, the ex-professional fighter and his sweetheart became parents to twins. Since then he has enjoyed his time with his family to the fullest. But now he’s making his fans very worried: Alex had to go to the hospital!
He now reports this on Instagram. He writes about a photo that shows the MMA fighter hanging on a drip and looking seriously into the camera: “I didn’t have such a nice weekend.” Alex went to the doctor because he wasn’t feeling well. He then immediately sent him to the hospital. “Looks like I have an abscess in my throat that needs an injection,” he explains. He actually just wanted to take painkillers and rest, but then decided against it: “Thank God I went to see someone because they told me that it could have burst, which is fatal.”
There are already numerous well wishes in the comments. “Get well soon. It’s good that you’re making others aware of the dangers,” writes one user. Another follower commented: “I hope everything goes well and you get better quickly.” “It’s good that you went to the doctor, otherwise it could have turned out completely differently,” writes a third user.
