The ‘Balls Of Steel’ host says his short-lived romance with the 41-year-old actress-turned-fashion designer ended amicably last year when they decided they were better off as just friends.
He told Britain’s Heat magazine: ‘We were dating, for a little while things were quite nice. And then they stopped being nice in that way, and we just became friends.
‘It was an interesting three months of my life. Well, two months. I don’t think she’d appreciate me adding a month. I don’t think I’ve experienced anything like it. It was fun but odd at the same time.’ Alex, 27, also revealed he was introduced to some of Sadie’s closest celebrity friends, including supermodel Kate Moss.
He added: ‘Kate was very nice. I had a good conversation with her about fishing.’

Felicia Culotta - who worked for Britney for over nine years and has been described as a personal assistant, chaperone, and a friend - has written to an internet fansite insisting the singer will hit rock bottom if she doesn’t get help now.
Since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline, Britney has been seen drinking, partying and was photographed without underwear on several occasions.
Her posting on Thatotherblog.com read: ‘I loved being with Britney for the past nine-and-a-half years. I enjoyed being a part of her dream.
‘I cherish all the incredible opportunities that came my way through my job with Britney and am crushed/saddened/heart sick by the way her life is unfolding.
‘I want you to know that we (as in her family and nearest and dearest - all of whom are not on the payroll anymore!!) are doing everything in our power to get help for Britney.
‘And we are doing all in our power to NOT pad the bottom, so when she does indeed hit rock bottom, she’ll stand up and walk away from this whole fiasco a new, confident, changed, career driven Britney like the one we all knew and loved.
‘To see what’s transpiring now makes me feel a failure, defeated. I loved and believed in what I was a part of for the past 10 years and was so incredibly proud of Britney and all she’d become.’ Culotta also says she has given up trying to save the star, after Britney refused any help and advice offered.
She writes: ‘There’s just so much you can do to help a person - I don’t dare want to be an enabler, and I cannot love her enough for the both of us. I cannot convince her in any way to love herself.
‘I’m so Southern, and the best way for me to tell you how I feel is to say you can only kick an old dog so many times before he gets off the porch.
‘I, Felica, am OFF the porch!!’

Though Chris and his Coldplay bandmates are yet to divulge when their eagerly-awaited fourth LP will be released, Gwyneth says her spouse is working hard and fans won’t be disappointed.
The actress was quoted by Britain’s Daily Star newspaper as saying: ‘I don’t think the album will come out soon, but I think it’s going to be their best one. It’s going to be insane.
‘Chris has done it differently this time. He doesn’t like it when I talk about him, but I will say I think he felt that he had so much pressure on him for the last album, it felt like it was a product of a lot of different energies.
‘This time he’s got laser-like precision. It’s incredible to watch.’ Gwyneth - who married Chris in 2003 - fell for the singer after watching a Coldplay concert in October 2002. The couple have a two-year-old daughter, Apple and 10-month-old son Moses.

The friends share a lesbian embrace in the season finale of Courteney’s new TV show ‘Dirt’, but the two actresses kept it clean.
Courteney said: ‘There is no tongue and it is really not a big deal to kiss.
‘I am not saying, `Don’t tune in to watch Jennifer on the show,’ because she is fantastic and you get to see us together again.
‘But if you think it is just about a major make-out session, you will be disappointed.’ The 42-year-old actress also revealed she and Jennifer were constantly pressured to kiss by a former ‘Friends’ assistant director, who bribed them with the promise of letting them start work later.
She said: ‘Our first assistant director on ‘Friends’ wanted us to do it.
‘In order for us to get a later call time, the assistant director dared us to kiss once and we thought about it. For the whole year we would get a later call time. We didn’t do it, no.’ Courteney insists Jennifer, 38, is a really fun person.
She said: ‘Let me tell you. That girl cuts up just as much as the rest of us. She is very fun and she’s goofy and she is just a doll. She is a great fun person with a great sense of humour.’

The ‘Toxic’ singer’s request for a limited edition Heatherette clutch bag designed by model Lydia Hearst was turned down, because Hearst doesn’t think she is a good role model.
A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: ‘Britney wanted to go backstage at the Heatherette fashion show during New York Fashion Week to collect a bag and promised to carry it to her front-row seat at where she would be photographed with it. But there were only 100 bags and her offer was politely declined.’ Hearst said: ‘I’m only giving the bag to accomplished young women who are doing something positive to affect the world around them. They are women I look up to and respect, like Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker and Anne Hathaway. They share the same high standards, and give back to the communities in which they live.’ After her request was turned down, Britney - who has been pictured looking dishevelled and bloated while out partying in recent weeks - did not appear at the fashion show at all in the end.
The pop superstar’s representative, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, has denied the reports, saying: ‘It’s not true.’ Britney - who has two sons, 18-month-old Sean Preston and seven-month-old Jayden James - is currently divorcing estranged husband Kevin Federline.

The singer - who was terrified about appearing on the cover of the magazine’s famous annual swimsuit issue - has revealed her father Matthew, who is also her manager, couldn’t bear to see her pose in revealing beachwear.
Beyoncé said: ‘Kelly Rowland showed up. My mom was there, so was my nephew.
Dad was going to come, but he said, ‘Well, I’ll meet you in Orlando after the shoot. I’m not so sure that I want to see this. All my blessings - you’re a big girl. But I’m not so sure I want to see it.’ ‘ Beyoncé - who is following in the footsteps of Elle Macpherson, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks by posing in a swimsuit for the magazine - embarked on a strict diet to prepare for the shoot.
She said: ‘I had to watch what I ate, which was tough because the shoot was right after Thanksgiving. At dinner, I kept thinking, ‘This extra piece of pie will show up.’ ‘I always make sure I celebrate it up, but I was so terrified with every little thing I ate this year.
‘The shoot took a lot of guts. I’m a really shy person. Everyday I play a character and I had to tap into that.’ The 25-year-old singer-and-actress is proud of the photographs and can’t wait to show them to her children - when she has them.
Beyoncé said: ‘These are photographs I can show my kids some day. I can say, ‘See, momma was beautiful. Look how good I looked!’ ‘

The Oasis rocker - who along with his bandmates collected the prestigious Outstanding Contribution To Music award at last night’s BRITs (14.02.07) - thinks it is pathetic Robbie is seeking help for an addiction to prescription drugs.
Speaking before the ceremony kicked off at London’s Earls Court, Noel told Britain’s Heart radio station: ‘If you take drugs you end up in rehab unless you’re a f***ing rock like me and then you just give them up! We’ve all been there, but if you can’t stand the heat.’ Robbie - who checked himself into The Meadows rehab centre on Tuesday (13.02.07), his 33rd birthday - has been feuding with Noel and his brother Liam since 2000, after Noel labelled the ‘Angels’ singer ‘the fat dancer from Take That’.
Robbie famously responded by branding the 39-year-old rocker a ‘mean-spirited dwarf’ and challenging Liam - who is engaged to Robbie’s ex-girlfriend Nicole Appleton - to a prize fight at that year’s BRIT Awards.
At the end of last year, Noel claimed Robbie was a sad, lonely recluse and said he believed his rival would eventually commit suicide because he is a ‘grossly unhappy person’.

‘The Guardian’ star was seen rushing into Hollywood antique jewellery store Claude Morady yesterday afternoon (14.02.07).
A source said: ‘Ashton was looking tense and worried as he waited for his gift to be wrapped up and then hurried out of the store. He must have left everything to the last minute - or maybe he forgot!’ The 28-year-old actor is 16 years younger than the 44-year-old ‘Indecent Proposal’ star.
Demi recently revealed she and Ashton joke about their age gap.
She said: ‘We’ve teased each other recently about doing `The Graduate’ on Broadway but, you know, historically, real couples being on-screen together never seems to work.’ Demi and Ashton married in September 2005, in a private ceremony attended by 100 of their closest family and friends.
Bruce Willis - who was married to Demi for 13 years and is the father of her three daughters - was also present at the ceremony.

Nicolas - who portrays a skeletal motorcycle-riding vigilante with a flaming skull in the film - says producers used X-rays of his own body to create the fearsome character.
He said: ‘They grafted my skull so you are actually seeing me in all those scenes. It’s kind of wild.’ The ‘Con Air’ actor says he loved playing the fantasy character - based on comic book hero Johnny Blaze who sells his soul to the devil - because he was so human.
He said: ‘What I really love about this character is that we’re all him. We all have human skulls, right? You’ve got one, I’ve got one and we’ve all got one and yet we look at it and go, ‘That’s scary’. And then after a little while you go, ‘Wait a minute, that’s beautiful. He’s human and he’s a total bad a**.’ He’s fighting the dark forces, but he’s human. It’s pretty neat.’ The film - also starring Eva Mendes - hits the screens this month.

BEYONCE KNOWLES was shocked news didn’t leak out about her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover shot - because everything about her life is so public.
The IRREPLACEABLE singer posed for the cover of the magazine in November (06) and was sworn to secrecy until the sexy shot was revealed yesterday (14FEB07).
She explains, "It was hard because I was so excited! You grow up seeing those issues and they’re so amazing, it’s crazy that I was able to be on the cover.
It’s amazing for me.
"They called and they said they were doing a music issue and they said they didn’t know if I would be willing to wear the swimsuits. I said I would for Sports Illustrated because it’s so classy. "My mother actually designed all of the swimsuits. We have a clothing line, House of Dereon, so that was a great launch for us." The star was amazed the media didn’t figure out what she was doing adding, "I don’t know, they didn’t, it’s great. "We were in Miami (Florida), it’s not like we were somewhere very far away.
They’re iconic photographs, so I’m very happy."

DREW BARRYMORE was shocked when she first met HUGH GRANT, because she thought he would be just like the foppish romantic leading men he plays on screen.
The pair star together in new film MUSIC AND LYRICS, and met for the first time on set.
She explains Grant was, "So not what I expected. In our first day of rehearsal, I was like ‘This is going to be so awesome! We’re going to have the best time!’ "And he was like (in a stern voice), ‘They warned me about you.’ "He is like a complete cynic and dark. We think of him as this romantic leading man, but he’s a comedian and comedians are a little self-tortured and dark.
"My trailer was full of dogs and candles and music and we’re making fabrics and doing this whole PROJECT RUNWAY (a US fashion reality show) thing. "You’d go into his trailer and he’d just be sitting there on the couch, chopping salad alone, angry English man. "We are total opposites, but I think it works for the movie, you get like two different people."

LIV TYLER is thrilled she no longer has to obsess about her weight because she is too focused on raising her baby MILO.
The LORD OF THE RINGS star spent more than a decade battling with her weight to stay slim for movie roles and modelling shoots - but now she is a mother, all that has changed.
She tells Glamour magazine, "I’ve been a model and actress since I was 14, so I’ve been on a diet my whole life.
"But once I gave birth, I didn’t want to think about myself or feel insecure about my career, I wanted to think about my child. So I stopped worrying about diets." The 29-year-old claims the industry standards to be thin have put even more pressure on young actresses and models adding, "I definitely think the girls look too skinny now. "I’m friends with (models) HELENA CHRISTENSEN and LINDA EVANGELISTA, and I remember Linda telling me that when she was a model (in the ’90s), a sample size was a six or eight. "Now a sample size is a zero or two. That’s pretty alarming. There’s a lot of pressure on (the models). It’s not healthy. I can’t even imagine what that’s like."

Items reportedly stolen from ANNA NICOLE SMITH’s Bahamian home in the days after her death last week (08FEB07) have mysteriously shown up at a South Carolina Sheriff’s Office.
The Sheriff’s Office of Horry County received two missing laptop computers, several hard drives, mini cassette tapes, papers, pictures and photos on Tuesday afternoon (13FEB07).
The authorities have declined to identify who turned over the items.
RON RALE, the attorney for Anna Nicole’s companion, HOWARD K. STERN, released a statement on Monday (12FEB07) regarding an alleged break-in at the home last week (09FEB07).
Stern’s reaction to the alleged burglary was captured by US TV news show ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, who followed the devastated lawyer back to The Bahamas from Florida, where Smith died, at the weekend (10FEB07).
Rale stated, "When Howard Stern returned to the house… he learned that all of Anna Nicole’s personal items had been stolen.

"All of Anna Nicole’s personal documents were also stolen, including confidential contracts, banking information, attorney client privileged documents, and (her baby daughter) DANNIELYNN’s birth certificate. Even paintings hanging in the nursery that Anna Nicole had painted for Dannielynn were stolen."
