Andrews

KATIE Price has revealed why she’s still wearing her engagement ring from conman ex-husband Lee Andrews despite their split – and if she’s spoken to him since her bombshell Good Morning Britain appearance this week. 

After ending her marriage to Lee, 43, the former glamour model was played a voice note from him on GMB on Wednesday, in which he insisted “there’s been no wool pulled over anyone’s eyes”. 

On the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, Katie held up her hand to sister Sophie, 36, and said: “I’m still wearing my ring but on the other hand because I love the ring. 

“I’ve taken Lee out of [my Instagram] bio now. Enough is enough now, it gets to a point where you can tolerate so much… 

“I did what I had to do. It doesn’t matter what people say about whoever I’m with. I have to do what I need to do. 

“If there are things that I question, that’s for me to find out myself to make my decision. Things haven’t added up and I’m not happy about them. He is still in prison and I haven’t spoken to him.”

LAST CHRISTMAS

Speaking to Susanna Reid and Ed Balls this week, Katie candidly confessed that – despite everything – she still loves Lee. 

She said: “I love him… but who is he?

“I love the man I met. I can’t take it. I was stupid to fall for him. It’s really sad.”

Katie also admitted she believes her ex loves her too, saying: “I do believe he did. 

“I think he’s got himself in such a situation… where he copy and pastes what he says to women… I do believe he’s fallen for me.”

Katie then revealed the signs that finally made her open her eyes.

She said: “For example, one of the rings he bought me he said was worth £72,000. So I thought I’d better get it insured.

“So I took it into a shop and got it cleaned to get it insured. When they gave it back to me I said, ‘How nice are the diamonds?’

“They said, ‘They’re really good lab diamonds. They were grown in a lab. The ring is probably only worth about five grand’. Do you know how embarrassed I was?”

IT’S BEEN nine months of drama for Katie Price after she said “I do” to con man Lee Andrews.

After The Sun revealed tonight that Katie, 48, is talking to top divorce lawyers, we take a look at all the signs that pointed to her secretly planning to split from her jailbird fifth husband, 43.

Katie ditches wedding ring

Katie has had a rocky year so far, with the drama surrounding her marriage to Lee, who is currently in jail.

Since trouble started brewing in May, when he was first banged up, the former pin-up has had a very on/off relationship with her wedding ring.

Just yesterday, in a clear sign that the marriage is in big trouble, the star ditched the significant piece of jewellery as she enjoyed time in Marbella.

Katie was also seen without her wedding ring as she flashed her bum while dancing on her close pal during her wild trip.

Refusing to return to Dubai

One of the biggest signs that Katie was not happy with her marriage to Lee is her refusal to go back to Dubai, where he lives.

The star hasn’t returned to the UAE since the end of June, which was just before Lee was sent back to jail, for a second time.

Previously speaking about how she would never move to Dubai to live with Lee, she said in a YouTube vlog: “I don’t know why people think I’m moving to Dubai.

“My family’s here. The husband is there, but the husband come here and I can go to Dubai when I can.”

Katie then added: “It’s a lot of hoo-ha.”

Katie openly flirts with Jake Quickended

At an awards ceremony earlier this month, as Lee languished behind bars, Katie asked Jake Quickended if she was “his type”.

The star was seen publicly flirting with the former The X Factor star at The Hair and Beauty Awards.

It happened as they shared the stage to present an award, and Katie told him how This Morning host Ben Shephard had said to her that she would make a “good match” for Jake.

She then proceeded to see how Jake felt about that, and when he was left red-faced she said: “Are you blowing me out? Is that a yes or a no? I’m putting you on the spot.”

Never paid his bail

Lee was sent back to jail in July, just weeks after he was freed from prison the first time this year.

The con man was originally locked up in May for fraud, but was most recently nabbed for unpaid debts.

However, Katie has refused to pay any of the money he owes, in order for his release.

She told The Sun: “He’s in prison and the only way Lee will get out of prison, he has to sort it out himself.

“That’s the end of that. If not, he’ll be prison. There’s nothing I can do. I’m not here to pay anything for anyone. I’ve got my own life. Even though he’s part of my life.”

Stopped speaking about Lee

Last, but not least, Katie has stopped speaking about Lee on her podcast.

The star drops an episode of The Katie Price Show, which she does with her sister Sophie, every Thursday.

However, recently Katie has been very quiet on the topic of her jailbird husband.

KATIE Price has not laid eyes on her soon to be ex-husband Lee Andrews since June.

The star, 48, has started proceedings to divorce the Dubai-based alleged conman just eight months after their surprise ceremony in his home city.

Lee has been in out of jail in Dubai since May and is currently holed up in the UAE’s notorious Al Awir prison.

The last time Katie saw Lee was shortly after he was released from prison the first time.

He then went back to prison at start of July and has been in there for eight weeks over three civil cases.

Katie has now vowed to never go back to Dubai and visit him.

Katie Price ‘worried’ that Lee will ‘take her money’ as she consults lawyer

The Sun revealed exclusively tonight that Katie had quietly consulted a top London divorce lawyer about ending her marriage.

She discovered he only had £2.22 in his crypto bank account — not the £37million he had promised her.

Katie told a pal on Tuesday: “I have come to my senses — Lee has lied and lied and lied. I am sick of it. It is over.”

A source added: “The marriage is done. She will never go to Dubai to see Lee again.

“It was, of course, an accumulation of many things but the final straw came after Lee had told Katie he had $50million (£37million) in a crypto wallet, and promised her some of the funds.

“He gave her the ‘recovery phrase’ — the passkey — to get into his account, and on Monday she had a financial expert access the wallet — and, to her shock, discovered it contained just $3, or £2.22.

“Lee never had $50million; he doesn’t have a bean. The most he ever had on any one day was in March for $14,490 (£10,720) which was sent out the very same day.

“Obviously over the past few months Kate has seen all the damning evidence building up against him — and was always planning her exit once the white noise became unavoidable.

“But after seeing his accounts — as opposed to his AI mock-ups — she lost her s***.

“He has deeply embarrassed her and, more importantly, has scammed, hurt and cheated so many other women. Enough is enough.”
