Alex Reid and Reiss McNally were on target as Hartlepool maintained their unbeaten start in the National League with a 2-0 win at Altrincham.

Hartlepool doubled their advantage on the stroke of half-time, McNally heading home Matty Daly's corner. The visitors saw out the game – recording their third clean sheet in as many fixtures – to move up to second in the table and condemn Altrincham to back-to-back defeats.

The 'real reason' Alex Reid shared video of ex Katie Price brazenly counting cash is 'revealed' - and the unlikely 'final straw' that made him speak out
Alex Reid shared the video of his ex Katie Price brazenly counting cash after being left furious by an unlikely comment in her recent statement, it's been claimed. The former cage fighter, 50, shared a clip on Instagram on Monday that showed the star, who at the time had been declared bankrupt, counting a wad of notes. And a friend of Alex has now told The Sun that he decided to post the video online after repeatedly seeing four seemingly innocent words in a string of statements shared by Katie's team last week. They went onto claim that Alex's work opportunities dried up in the wake of his split from Katie, and he's grown tired of seeing her flaunt a luxurious lifestyle while he lives 'month to month'. Last week, Katie hit back at her ex Peter Andre after he shared a statement accusing her of 'baseless lies' over the past 16 years. The statement in question said: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. 'This was in the past, and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.' Alex's friend said he was 'crushed' when he read the repeated phrase that is ex 'Katie was at peace.' They added: 'It was those words that touched such a nerve for him, out of everything Katie has said, because the trauma of everything he has been through since the end of his marriage to her is still very raw. 'He feels like Katie just washes her hands of stuff and takes no accountability - saying she is at peace feels so dismissive, hypocritical and absolutely ridiculous.' They went onto claim Alex has 'game-changing evidence' that will 'change the way people view this sorry saga.' The source went onto claim that Alex has grown increasingly frustrated with Katie since their 2011 split, after she took a string of public swipes at him, and particularly his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne. Alex also reportedly grew irate at seeing Katie show off a £1700 YSL handbag after jetting back from Turkey following yet another facelift, as well as a Van Cleef and Arpels necklace, which retails for £14,000. It's also alleged that Katie has not paid a penny of £175,000 in damages and legal costs Alex was awarded after he sued her for showing a sex tape of him on Big Brother spin-off show Bit On The Side without his consent. Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Alex Reid and Katie Price for comment. The video Alex shared, which is believed to have been filmed in 2020, shows Katie saying she is 'enjoying counting' the wads of money in front of her during a conversation with her daughter Princess Andre. There is no suggestion that Katie didn't declare the cash. In the video she brags: 'There's loads here… I'm just sorting it out.' A representative for Katie Price told Daily Mail: 'This is a video that was shared with Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy several months ago and Katie has fully complied with the Trustee's investigations into the same. 'The cash featured did not belong to Katie and the property referred to was dealt with in the financial settlement proceedings arising out of Katie's divorce from Peter Andre. 'Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy is aware of the property and has undoubtedly investigated whether the same ought to be comprised in the bankruptcy estate.' A source close to Peter also said: 'Peter has seen the video and is totally disgusted, even more so because his young daughter has been involved in it.' His representatives added: 'Peter will be dealing with this with his lawyers.' Alongside the video, Alex said: 'For years, I've watched as stories — many false, exaggerated, or deliberately twisted — have been pushed out into the public. Fake news isn't just a headline, it destroys lives, reputations, and families. 'This has been years in the making. Countless hours of collaboration, gathering evidence, and finding the strength to finally stand up and say: enough is enough. 'I have stayed quiet long enough. Now is the time to speak. This isn't about gossip, this isn't about drama - this is about the truth. 'The announcement I'm about to make will challenge the false narratives and shine a light where it has been needed for far too long. 'The time for speculation is over. The truth is about to come out.' As Alex shared the video on social media, Princess Andre took to Instagram to share a post telling her followers that she's 'got her sparkle back.' After receiving praise from viewers for her ITV2 documentary series, the influencer shared a video of herself gracing a catwalk in a blue bikini, a moment which in the show she admitted made her feel 'exposed.' The post featured the text: 'To the girls who are getting their sparkle back.' She captioned the post: 'Being so honest on the show wasn't easy, but your love and support has meant the world to me. 'Thank you for watching and for all the kind messages.' Katie later responded to Peter's bombshell statement with a bizarre Instagram post about 'fake Sinners who play the victim' on Friday It comes after it was reported that Alex and Katie's third husband Kieran Hayler are teaming up and have consulted lawyers in a bid to block Katie from including them in a tell-all Sky documentary. The three-part show, likely to release next year, is set to delve into the details of her fleeting flings, serious relationships and time in the spotlight. A source told The Mirror: 'They feel like they have been backed into a corner and have no choice. 'They just want her to stop trashing them, and can't believe she is being given a platform.' Elsewhere, Katie and ex-husband Peter are currently locked in a bitter feud after he hit out at her 'baseless lies over the last 16 years' in a blistering statement on Thursday. Katie responded to Peter 's bombshell statement with a bizarre Instagram post about 'fake Sinners who play the victim' on Friday. Rumours of a 'rift' between Katie and their daughter Princess have been growing in recent weeks after Katie didn't attend Princess's 18th birthday party, or appear on the nepo baby 's fly-on-the-wall ITV television series. Katie later claimed that it was her daughter's management who had told her not to appear on the show. In a lengthy Instagram statement, Katie pleaded 'I'm trying to be the best I can' while noting she hasn't 'always been the best mother'. She wrote: 'Saints and sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners. I know I will always be a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fail into reliance on drugs and alcohol. 'At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, an an untrustworthy partner. I've self medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love. 'I've had many reasons - I was sexually abused when younger; I've had relationships that have been coercive; and my mental health issues - but I don't want to make excuses.' Katie continued: 'I've recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me. Sometimes I tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded. 'I've pulled myself out of suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them. 'I don't pretend to be perfect by any means - but I'm trying to be the best I can. Then there are the "Saints". Some are genuine and some have helped me. 'But some Saints are not who they would have you believe they are. They have a carefully managed image which must be exhausting to maintain. 'Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a villain... or at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don't get to be the Saint... 'As a Sinner - I sometimes get bored of these Saints. But maybe I should feel sorry for them, It must be such hard work having to pretend all the time. 'Anyway, all you Sinners keep your heads up and keep trying to be better. All you Saints, it's ok not to be perfect xxx' Peter shared his side of the story on Thursday, explaining: 'For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today. 'The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. 'In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.' 'In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.'

The surprising reason Alex Reid finally ‘exposed' Katie Price – as pals reveal final straw that made him explode
CONTRARY to popular belief, it wasn't Peter Andre's shocking statement about his ex Katie Price that lit the fire under Alex Reid, another of her aggrieved former husbands, to come forward with his own damning exposé. Instead, The Sun can reveal it was actually four seemingly innocuous words, buried in various defiant statements direct from camp Price last week, which sent the former MMA fighter nuclear. 10 10 After years of quietly sitting on a pile of evidence he's been meticulously gathering over the last decade, sources have told us exactly what pushed Alex to hit 'publish' on a leaked video showing a bankrupt Katie counting wads of cash while boasting to daughter Princess. A very close friend of Alex's revealed: 'When Alex saw Peter's statement last Thursday night, he wasn't necessarily planning to come out with his own damning takedown just days later, but then there was a comment that Katie's rep released after Peter's post that literally tipped Alex over the edge and set these wheels in motion.' The statement from Katie's spokesperson last Thursday night, responding to Peter's claims that Princess and Junior have been in his custody since 2018 for their safety, said: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. "This was in the past, and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. "Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was." 'He was just crushed' While the statement was 63 words long in total, pals reveal it was just four of those words in particular that left Alex reeling. The friend explains: 'Alex read that comment that 'Katie is at peace' over and over, and he was just crushed, because he most certainly is not at peace. "It was those words that touched such a nerve for him, out of everything Katie has said, because the trauma of everything he has been through since the end of his marriage to her is still very raw. 'He hasn't healed from it, and he remains a very vulnerable person. It's affected not just him, but his entire family and loved ones. 'He feels like Katie just washes her hands of stuff and takes no accountability - saying she is at peace feels so dismissive, hypocritical and absolutely ridiculous.' And now, it seems, all bets are off as far as Alex is concerned. The pal added: 'This has been years in the making, but now Alex has blown the lid on everything and there will be lots more to come out. "He has some game-changing evidence up his sleeve that will change the way people view this entire sorry saga.' Troll hell The source alleges that Alex's frustration has continued to build over the years because he is still targeted by the most vicious trolling from Katie's fans. He believes this is fuelled by Katie and her camp taking subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, swipes at him wherever possible to this very day. The insider revealed: "An example of this is how Katie will still casually bring up Alex's cross-dressing alter ego Roxanne in interviews as a way of painting him to be some kind of sordid weirdo. "The irony is, Roxanne was something Katie encouraged and was instrumental in creating, then she kink-shamed him about. 'Alex never lied about the fact that he had a naughty side, but it all got totally blown out of proportion, and he still gets mercilessly mocked about Roxanne to this day.' Another bugbear that has recently stuck in Alex's craw is seeing snaps of Katie jetting back from Turkey following a round of free surgery sporting a black designer YSL bag worth £1700 over her shoulder. She has also been flaunting a green and gold Van Cleef and Arpels necklace in recent social media posts, which retails for £14k. If he wanted to cash in, he could have sold the video to the highest bidder instead of releasing it for free on his social media. Now this is about accountability and justice. It's about doing the right thing. Insider They added: "Alex isn't living in poverty, but, like most people in the country, he feels the financial pinch. "He lives month to month, making money doing PAs, mentoring MMA fighters here and there and also working as a jobbing actor, but he certainly isn't rolling in it. "He walked away from his marriage to Katie with little more than the shirt on his back, and he believes he would be doing far better in his career had he never got involved with her. "The money Katie spends on the upkeep of her horses alone in a week is more than Alex earns in a month. "A lot of work opportunities dried up for Alex because of the things Katie pedalled about him in public, so it's galling for Alex to see Kate swanning round with designer bags and jewels - especially since she still hasn't paid him a penny of what she was ordered to pay him by the courts in 2020.' Indeed, five years ago, Alex was awarded £175k in damages and legal costs after he sued Katie for showing a sex tape of him to the audience on Big Brother's spin-off show without his consent. The pal says: 'Alex doesn't believe he will ever see that money, but for him, this isn't about making money. "If he wanted to cash in, he could have sold the video to the highest bidder instead of releasing it for free on his social media. Now this is about accountability and justice. It's about doing the right thing.' Bombshell video The video Alex shared publicly, believed to have been filmed in 2020, showed a then bankrupt Katie Price appearing to count wads of cash in front of daughter Princess. The clip shows Katie bragging that she is 'enjoying counting' the money while boasting: "There's loads here… I'm just sorting it out". She also mentions a London flat she appears to own, and when quizzed by Princess about whether she will contribute to school fees, holds up her middle finger and responds: 'Your dad can sit on that'. Laughing, she continues: 'Does he go on about it a lot? Well it's tough because I'm in bankruptcy to next May now.' In response to Alex leaking the clip, a rep for Katie insisted that Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy had been aware of the footage for some time and that she had been "fully compliant" with nothing to hide. All of Katie's former husbands and fiancés have a shared experience, and right now, it appears to be the perfect storm where many of them have decided to speak out at the same time. Insider She also denied that the cash in the video belonged to Katie, and said the property in question was "dealt with in the financial settlement proceedings arising out of Katie's divorce from Peter." Sources tell us that Alex has had the video in his possession for some time, although it's not clear who recorded it or sent it to him, but he chose not to release it until Princess came of age. The insider added: 'Alex was very aware that Princess was only a minor at the time the video was recorded, and didn't want it out there until Princess was of age. 'Peter and Alex aren't in cahoots on this and don't speak directly, but Alex has a lot of respect for Peter. 'All of Katie's former husbands and fiancés have a shared experience, and right now, it appears to be the perfect storm where many of them have decided to speak out at the same time. "There is a strength they all find in knowing they aren't alone in all this.' Indeed, Alex Reid's life could have all been very different. 'Telling his truth' Prior to meeting and falling for Katie Price in July 2009, not long after she had split from Pete, Alex had a promising career in mixed martial arts and was also a budding actor. He notched up eight wins in cage fighting championships between 2004 and 2007, and enjoyed a small part in Hollyoaks. But a chance meeting with Katie at her pal Michelle Heaton's 30th birthday party at London nightspot Cafe De Paris catapulted him into a world of glossy mag interviews and showbiz events - on occasion dressed as Roxanne to maximise their column inches. Katie briefly dumped him when she returned to the I'm A Celeb jungle in late 2009, but a few weeks later they were back on - just in time for Alex to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house in January 2010. 10 Alex emerged the winner - beating out the likes of Vinnie Jones and Dane Bowers, another of Katie's exes- before he and Katie married in a whirlwind wedding a month later in Vegas. But just eleven months later, the marriage was over, and both took a string of shots at each other in the media. Katie claimed in one of her myriad autobiographies that she had married Alex 'too soon' after her split from Pete, and branded his 'weird and kinky' bedroom fetishes as 'the most disturbing s**t you can imagine and times it by ten.' In response, Alex called his time with Katie his 'prostitute' years, adding she spun the Roxanne narrative 'for her own financial and business gains'. He summed up: 'It's a pretty crappy life having to sell your soul to make a living.' Alex then moved on with fellow Big Brother star Chantelle Houghton, who he had a daughter, Dolly, with in 2012, but they separated acrimoniously just four months later. But after years of dark times, Alex has found his soulmate in fiancée, blogger and IVF campaigner Nikki Manashe, with whom he shares a daughter and twin sons. 'Nikki has really been Alex's rock through all of this,' a pal says of the pair, who got together in 2013. 'He wouldn't have had the strength to sue Katie Price in 2020 without Nicki by his side, or go public with his latest campaign to expose his ex. 'Alex knows taking on Katie Price is not for the faint-hearted, but he believes in his cause and with Nicki in his corner, he feels he can finally tell the world his truth.'

Katie Price hits back at Alex Reid with furious statement after his leaked video of star
KATIE Price has hit back at Alex Reid after he leaked a video of the star counting piles of cash - while bankrupt. Yesterday Alex, 50, told fans he plans to reveal 'the truth' about Katie - just days after Peter Andre broke his 16 year silence on his ex wife. 3 Katie, 47, was declared bankrupt twice in 2019 and then again last year over a huge unpaid tax bill. In the clip, which is believed to have been filmed in 2020, Katie is seen sitting with daughter Princess, telling her she is ' enjoying counting' the wads of money in front of her. She is also heard talking about a London flat. But a spokesperson for Katie has fired back and said the "cash featured in the video did not belong" to the star and the property she mentioned was "dealt with in the financial settlement proceeding" during her divorce from Peter Andre. They said: "This is a video that was shared with Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy several months ago and Katie has fully complied with the Trustee's investigations into the same. "The cash featured did not belong to Katie and the property referred to was dealt with in the financial settlement proceedings arising out of Katie's divorce from Peter Andre. "Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy is aware of the property and has undoubtedly investigated whether the same ought to be comprised in the bankruptcy estate." In the clip, Katie boasts "there's loads here … I'm just sorting it out". Katie can then be heard quizzing Princess about what her dad Peter says about her paying school fees. Holding up her middle finger, she tells Princess: 'Your dad can sit on that'. Katie Price reaches out to ex Peter Andre after years of not speaking as she vows to heal 'rift' over Princess Laughing, she continues: 'Does he go on about it a lot? Well it's tough because I'm in bankruptcy to next May now.' Katie married MMA fighter Alex in Las Vegas in February 2010, but the pair split the following year. Alongside the footage, Alex told his followers: "For years, I've watched as stories — many false, exaggerated, or deliberately twisted — have been pushed out into the public. Fake news isn't just a headline, it destroys lives, reputations, and families. "This has been years in the making. Countless hours of collaboration, gathering evidence, and finding the strength to finally stand up and say: enough is enough. "I have stayed quiet long enough. Now is the time to speak. This isn't about gossip, this isn't about drama — this is about the truth. "The announcement I'm about to make will challenge the false narratives and shine a light where it has been needed for far too long. "The time for speculation is over. The truth is about to come out." It comes after Katie's ex Peter Andre accused her of making "baseless accusations" against him, and claimed their children Princess and Junior have been in his care since 2018 'for their safety.' Peter finally snapped after Katie moaned about being frozen out of her daughter Princess 's blossoming career - and claimed that their kids live with both Pete and her. Revealing his own plans to take legal action, Peter said: "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." Earlier today it was revealed that another of Katie's ex's Kieran Hayler, 38, is said to be consulting lawyers in a bid to stop her explosive Sky documentary airing next year. Now Kieran and Alex are in contact via an intermediary after a tell-all documentary was announced. A spokesman for the mum of five told The Sun: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. "This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. "Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was..." 3
