Katie Price has described reports that her relationship with husband Alex Reid was already on the rocks as a "joke".
The 31-year-old mother-of-three married the 34-year-old cage fighter and Celebrity Big Brother winner in Las Vegas last week.
In her first television appearance since she and Alex tied the knot, Katie, aka glamour model Jordan, told GMTV the couple were "so happy" and questioned why people "picked on" them.
Katie said of the rumours about the marriage: "If people really believe this there has got to be something wrong. It's a joke."
She claimed she had been keeping her profile "quite low" recently, but accused newspapers and magazines of writing "untrue stuff" to sell copies.
"People are treating me like a serial killer, I'm a villain," she said. "What have I actually done wrong?"
The model also denied that she and Alex had agreed a deal for photos of their wedding ceremony. She said the chapel filmed the ceremony, which she described as "not tacky at all", and declared: "As it stands we have not done a magazine deal."
Of the occasion, she said: "It was fantastic. We had a brilliant day. It was just like a dream."
Katie and Alex confirmed they plan to celebrate their marriage with a blessing later this year for their families and so her daughter, Princess Tiaamii, can be a bridesmaid. Asked if she would like to be known by her married name, she replied: "Absolutely Mrs Reid, yep."
She also said the couple are trying for a baby: "Me and Alex so want kids. We are trying, so let's hope, let's hope."
