Alex Reid: Giraffe tried to kick me at zoo

Cage fighter Alex Reid lucky not to be injured

Alex Reid upset the giraffe

Alex Reid narrowly avoided being kicked by a giraffe when he visited London Zoo with wife Katie Price.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner - who went to the attraction last month - upset the animal during feeding time.

'I leant over too far into the enclosure at one point and one of the giraffes went to kick me,' explains Alex, 35. 

'Their keeper said it could have killed me, as their kicks can make your head cave in!'

Alex didn't let his brush with death ruin his day, though.

'It wasn't exactly relaxing, as everyone wanted to visit different animals, get food, different ice creams,' he says. 

'But it was great fun!'
