Katie Price and Alex Reid have issued a statement claiming that they are legally married.

Last weekend The News of the World claimed that 67-year-old Reverend Mose Henney, was not authorised to perform wedding ceremonies and therefore Katie and Alex’s marriage was null and void.

The pair have since released a statement saying:

“Following the revelations in the press over the past couple of days regarding the validity of Katie and Alex’s wedding, we would like to state that the marriage is 100% legitimate and legal.”

“The Wynn where they married, and the Office of the County Clerk Marriage Services Division, have both confirmed that Reverend Mose Henney, who conducted the wedding ceremony, is legally authorised to perform marriage ceremonies.”
