Katie Price married Alex Reid in a quickie Las Vegas ceremony overnight.

The newlyweds released the following statement: "We are very much in love and look forward to the future together. We can’t wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who we know fully support our wishes."

The couple’s spokesperson refuted claims they had married to maximise earnings around the relationship: "Their decision to marry has not been made with any pre-conceived commercial plan or media deal in place, and their reason for getting married is purely down to their love for each other." Reports state the couple have signed a £1 million deal for exclusive photos of their wedding.

Just yesterday Katie and Alex announced their engagement in OK magazine, where the glamour model announced she would marry later this year, but no one thought it would be so soon. Ex-husband Peter Andre left Jordan last May, and she has dated Alex on and off for seven months.
