A SONG by a North-East band has been used in the soundtrack for Celebrity Big Brother contestant Alex Reid’s new gangster film.

The cross-dressing cage fighter – who shot to fame after dating Jordan following her split from Peter Andre – filmed Killer Bitch before entering the Big Brother house.

The Hyads, from Darlington, were asked if their new track, Trouble on the Terraces, could be included on the film soundtrack.

The four members of indie group The Hyads have been together for three years and have played alongside The Specials, The Wombats and The View.

Three of the band members, including the drummer, Terry Jerrom, are builders, while guitarist Jon Alderson works in a bank.

Mr Jerrom, 37, said the track was chosen for the film because of the bands’ success on the MySpace website.

Mr Jerrom described the track, Trouble on the Terraces, as: “A fast-paced song, with a heavy guitar sound.”

A clip of Alex Reid in the film was shown on Big Brother’s Big Mouth recently and the film has caused controversy regarding its adult and sexual content.

Killer Bitch is not due for release until March, but it has been reported that the film contains violent sex scenes.

Mr Jerrom admits that he has not seen the film yet and the band will be at the London premiere on March 8.

“Having not seen the film, I can’t pass judgement on it, but the controversy is only adding to publicity for the film and the band,” he said.

“I don’t condone any of the film’s content, but we’re still happy to be involved with it.

“Alex Reid being in Big Brother is adding fuel to the fire.

“If he wins Celebrity Big Brother it could put the film into a lot higher profile.”

Trouble on the Terraces is due to be released in April and The Hyads will play at The Riverside stadium, in Middlesbrough, on April 10, at 1pm, to promote it.

The Hyads are also performing an accoutic set at The Georgian Theatre, in Stockton, on February 19, at 8pm.
