LEE Andrews’ dad Peter has broken his silence on the ‘disappearance’ of Katie Price’s husband – insisting his son HAS been locked up in a Dubai prison.
Katie, 48, last week told how she believed Lee, 43, had been “kidnapped” as a missing persons’ report was filed with the British Embassy in the United Arab Emirates city and three days ago Dubai police denied he’d been detained.
Now Peter has claimed Lee is being held by police, telling the Daily Mail: “Lee is OK.
“He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest. I don’t know on what charge.
“I’m not sure where he is being held. But he will call me later today.
“He is not at my house.”
A police insider told the publication: “Lee Andrews has been arrested.”
As part of her investigation exposing Lee as a conman, The Sun’s Clemmie Moodie reported that he is laying low in a run-down villa in Dubai and hasn’t been snatched as part of a nefarious plot which wife Katie has been led to believe.
Last night Lee made a return to social media after eight days – following a mystery woman named Marisol.
Katie is said to be disgusted and incensed after “kidnapped” hubby Lee reappeared online.
His shock return came on worried Katie’s 48th birthday. In the early hours fans spotted Andrews had added Marisol — and they alerted Katie.
It appears Marisol previously used an online matchmaking service for millionaires.
Katie’s last contact with Andrews came when he claimed he had been arrested and taken to a “black site”.
