Alex Reid seems to be doing quite well for himself now, first he becomes a household name by dating Katie Price , then he enters and wins celebrity big brother now he has been approached by the BBC to audition for an acting role in an upcoming BBC drama.

Writing in his Star diary Reid says ‘I’ve got some auditions coming up, which I’m thrilled about,’

‘One of them is for quite a big-budget BBC drama, and the director asked to see me specifically.

‘I do not want to get too excited just yet because I know how this world works, but it feels really good to get the acting buzz back.’

If Reid was to get the part it would not be the first time that he has acted, as it seems that he has also been on Hollyoaks previously.
