The Celebrity Big Brother winner was later taken to hospital with a suspected fractured eye socket.
After doctors released him, Alex returned to his and Katie Price's £2million home in Surrey.
Leading plastic surgeon Richard Price, from the Nuffield Hospital, Cambridge, told the Daily Star: "A patient presenting to me with a damaged eye socket and fractured cheekbone would be facing a very delicate operation."

Heavyweight boxer David Haye, wrote on Twitter: "Huge respect to both warriors. Can't wait for the rematch."
