Katie Price and Alex get rid of their micro pig Bingles

The couple – who live with Katie’s three children, Harvey, eight, Junior, five, and Princess, three, from previous relationships – had to give the “dodgy” piglet away when it started to become angry when people were eating.

Alex – who received Bingles as wedding present with Katie - said: “I loved that pig, but I’m afraid he has gone. We had to give him back, as he got aggressive when people were eating food and that wasn’t good. We didn’t want to take any risks with the kids.

“So now I warn people that as cute as a micro pig is, don’t assume life with them will be all good! But I don’t know if we just had a dodgy one with Bingles.”

The cage-fighter – who is currently trying for a baby with Katie – also revealed he takes the “soft” approach when it comes to disciplining Katie’s kids.

He explained: “If they are doing something dangerous or being nasty, then they need to be told off – though in a loving way. I’m the softer one though, probably. I’m much softer than the missus! Or the nannies!”
