London, Oct 31 (IANS): Model Chantelle Houghton says just when she thought cage fighter ex-fiance Alex Reid was changing for good, she realised he was faking it.
Houghton and Reid separated last month and after a bitter end they started to get along well, says the model in her column for New magazine.
"Alex and I have taken a massive step backwards after we began to get on better last week," she wrote.
"When he was being reasonable, I - like a fool - thought, 'Oh God, maybe he does actually give a s***'," she added.
Houghton, who has a four-month-old daughter Dolly with Reid now feels otherwise.
"But I now feel like he?s manipulating the situation to make it look as though he?s making a real effort," she said.
