Katie Price and Lee Andrews are back in the headlines, this time because Price says women have been sending explicit messages to her husband while their already complicated marriage continues to play out between the UK and Dubai.
The former glamour model, 48, used her Instagram Story on Sunday to call out women contacting Andrews, whom she married in January only days after they met. Their wedding followed a rose-petal proposal, because apparently easing into things was not on the agenda.
What did Katie Price say about the messages?
Price shared a screenshot from one woman who had allegedly sent Andrews an explicit video. In the image, the woman exposed herself while wearing black stockings and a leather mini skirt, and also wrote: “Just forget Katie and let me come look after you x”.
Price responded publicly, writing: “Why are some girls so beggy messaging my husband?”
She added: “Have some decorum,” and tagged the woman directly, saying she was “embarrassed for [her]”.
It was a blunt response, though not exactly a surprising one from Price, who has rarely treated social media as a place for quiet reflection. The post came after weeks of drama around Andrews, including questions about who he is, his finances, and his ability to leave Dubai.
Why has Lee Andrews been stuck in Dubai?
Price reunited with Andrews in Dubai last week after his release from Al Awir prison. She was filmed jumping into his arms after he was freed, despite previously saying she would not pay the £140,000 reportedly needed to secure his release.
Andrews had disappeared for weeks in May, leaving Price worried about what had happened to him. She initially feared he had been kidnapped, a version of events Andrews has continued to claim is true.
According to Price, Andrews FaceTimed her from the back of a van with his hands tied and a hood over his head. He allegedly warned her that people were “coming” for him.
Andrews has since claimed he was taken to a black site and held at gunpoint. He has denied that his imprisonment was connected to fraud allegations, instead saying he was suspected of espionage.
Reports later said he had actually been jailed over alleged unpaid debts.
What debts is Andrews alleged to owe?
According to The Sun, Andrews has been given 14 days to make repayments linked to outstanding debts in Dubai.
The reported debts include:
- 266 dirhams, reported as £54,000, allegedly owed to car rental company Rotanna Star, dating back to 2022
- 74,817.50 dirhams, reported as £15,000, allegedly owed to a UAE law firm
The issue involving the UAE law firm is believed to be what led to Andrews being treated as a “wanted man” and then arrested.
He must now tell the Criminal Investigation Department when he plans to leave Dubai. That makes any quick relocation to Britain slightly more complicated than simply packing a suitcase and posting a motivational caption.
Price says she will not give Andrews money
Price has defended Andrews since the start of their relationship, but she has also made one boundary clear: she says she will not finance him.
Before his release, she told The Sun: “He is coming out. I can’t wait to see him, can’t wait to have our chats, and he should be out next week, but knowing that, knowing what prisons are like, even in England, you never know.”
She added: “I’ve made it clear to Lee; I will never give him money. I’ll never give a man money; I’ve done it all my life. I’ve always been the breadwinner. My divorces, I’m the one that always has to give. I said to Lee I’ll never do it.”
Price, who has been declared bankrupt twice, has flown to Dubai several times during the relationship while Andrews has been unable to travel to the UK. He initially denied having a travel ban, but Price later confirmed that he was subject to one.
Andrews says he still plans to move to the UK
Despite the legal and financial issues around him, Andrews has said his Dubai chapter may soon end. He told a fan on Cameo that he plans to move to Britain and live with Price.
“I will be coming to the UK, despite what everyone’s saying. I’m on my way soon, so I’ll be giving Dubai up a little bit,” he said.
Andrews has set up a profile on Cameo, where customers can pay for personalised videos. He charges a minimum of £26 per message and has already recorded birthday greetings, Father’s Day messages and motivational pep talks. Everyone’s career has a pivot point.
He has not shared an exact timeline for relocating. Given the reported repayment deadline and requirement to keep Dubai authorities informed, the practical details still matter.
What has Andrews been accused of since marrying Price?
Since Price introduced Andrews as her new partner, he has been followed by claims and controversy.
Questions over his business profile
After Price first named Andrews publicly, he called himself the chief executive of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an “investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness”.
His social media profile, which had 111,000 followers, showed gym photos, luxury living in Dubai and images that appeared to place him near figures including Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian.
Those claims were later questioned. Reports said there was little information about his company on its website, while the celebrity images appeared to have been generated using artificial intelligence.
The alleged Dubai travel ban
After Price and Andrews married in Dubai, she returned to the UK without him. Reports alleged that he could not leave because he had previously served time at Dubai’s Al Awir central prison over suspected fraud.
The allegation involved claims that he had taken out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-girlfriend’s name without her knowledge.
The UAE can prevent people facing criminal investigations from leaving the country. Andrews denied at first that he was unable to return to the UK, saying there must have been “wrong details”. Price later confirmed he was under a ban, but did not explain why.
The pregnancy tease
Only weeks into the relationship, Price and Andrews suggested they might be expecting a child. Price said she was “having his child”, while Andrews wrote that they were a “perfect couple soon to be triple”.
At one point, Price encouraged followers to pay £2.99 to find out the result of a pregnancy test. She later confirmed she was not pregnant.
Claims from former partners
Days after the wedding, two of Andrews’ ex-partners accused him of being a “liar, narcissist and manipulator”.
Two months later, reports claimed he had been asking women for money shortly before marrying Price.
One ex, Alana, posted on Instagram calling him the “Tinder Swindler” and said multiple women had contacted her claiming he had tried to scam them out of money.
The disappearance in May
When Andrews failed to return to the UK in May, Price said she feared he had been kidnapped and reported him missing.
Later reports claimed he had “ghosted” his wife and was living in a slightly run-down villa in Dubai while using a burner phone. The Sun reported that he was “frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in”.
For now, Price is standing by Andrews, even as she publicly warns other women to stop contacting him and privately, one assumes, waits for the next practical problem to appear. In this marriage, the romance has not lacked plot. It has mostly lacked quiet.
