Katie Price’s new husband Lee Andrews’ ex claims he sent her vile email ‘wishing her dead’
KATIE Price’s new husband Lee Andrews has been accused of wishing his ex dead in a vile email.
Alana Percival is self-proclaimed businessman Lee’s ex, whom he proposed to in exactly the same way as he did former glamour model Katie before they sensationally got wed in a whirlwind ceremony.
Fitness enthusiast Alana has been speaking out about her experience with Lee, with her now seemingly sharing a vile email he sent her ‘wishing her dead’.
Alana, 32, took to Instagram to share the correspondence she allegedly received from Lee.
In an Instagram post, Alana said: “Also anyone who knows me will know that I went through a really tough time with someone that was not only my partner but also my best friend that sadly took his own life when we were younger.
“This impacted me so massively I was in hospital for a whole of my life and had a huge impact on my mental state and health and still does,” she explained.

Alana continued: “This is something I told Lee Andrews out of confidence about what I had been through and he sent me this email, along with many more, wishing me dead.”
In the screen grab of the email, Lee allegedly said: “Now go join Carl in the fucking ground where you both belong!”
Also on her Instagram page, Alana shared another slew of accusations.
She said: “It makes me so sad when I look at this all now and I realise how much Lee put me through and how many people I cut off and ignored when I should have listened!!”
Alana then proceeded to share an extensive list of “things I felt throughout” her relationship with Lee.
The list was long and included “financial abuse” as well as “controlling behaviour” and “constant lies to maintain dominance”.
Speaking to The Sun last week in an exclusive interview, Alana issued a stark warning to Lee’s new wife Katie.
Alana said: “Katie should run for the hills. Lee is a liar, a narcissist and I think he’s a manipulator.
“Once I tried to leave him, he told me had a heart condition and was living on borrowed time.
“Lee doesn’t know what’s fact and what’s fiction.
“It’s worrying because I think he believes his own lies.”
Also in the exclusive chat, Alana said Lee showered her with gifts, and she recognises the significance of Katie and Andrews’ matching 11:11 handtattoos.
She said: “I’ve never had someone basically tell me that they love me the way he does.
“That 11:11 thing with Katie, that was our thing. He’d ring me at 11:11, he even bought a horse I called 11:11. He puts 100 per cent effort into you. He bought me Cartier bangles, Cartier rings, and clothes.
“He sent a Louis Vuitton handbag to my office. He would transfer me cash — £5,000, £2,000, it was a lot.”

Reggae legend Sly Dunbar who played with Bob Marley, Madonna & The Rolling Stones tragically found dead aged 73
REGGAE legend Sly Dunbar, who performed with the likes of Bob Marley, Madonna and the Rolling Stones, has died aged 73.
The iconic Jamaican drummer, who also co-founded production duo Sly and Robbie, was found dead on Monday according to his wife.
The star played on tracks such as Bob Marley’s Punky Reggae Party and Dave and Ansell Collins’ classic hit Double Barrel.
But he was better known for his work as one half of iconic production team Sly & Robbie.
The duo produced popular tracks for industry giants including Bob Dylan, Grace Jones and Ian Dury, and reggae stars like Peter Tosh and Black Uhuru.
His wife Thelma told local media she found him unresponsive on Monday, before his death was also confirmed by his team.
Sly, whose real name was Lowell Fillmore Dunbar, was born in Kingston, Jamaica.
He started out playing on tin cans – getting inspiration from Lloyd Knibbs and the Skatalites on television.
The star previously said in a 1997 interview: “I saw [Knibbs] playing and I thought, ‘I want to be a drummer’ because he’s the hardest worker in the band.
“He’s my idol! In some ways, I’m self-taught but I got a lot of help from other drummers by watching them play.”
When he was a teenager, he founded the rhythm section of the band the Revolutionaries alongside bassist Robbie Shakespeare, who died in 2021.
They became one of the most renowned backing bands in Jamaican reggae in the 1970s.
Sly became known for his shuffling “rockers” drum pattern, which put more emphasis on syncopation and energy.
Throughout the decade they also worked with major reggae acts like Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown and Barrington Levy.
The rhythm section also toured in the US with Peter Tosh.
In the hopes of saving enough cash to found their own production team, the pair lived on bread and water during this period, according to legend.
They founded Taxi Records in 1980, before helping a whole new generation of Jamaican artists such as Shaggy, Shabba Ranks, Skip Marley, Beenie Man and Red Dragon refine their art.
The pair also provided beats on Grace Jones’s hit 1981 album Nightclubbing.
This paved the way for them to work with some of rock and pop’s biggest stars – from Bob Dylan and Joe Cocker, to singers like Marianne Faithfull, Madonna and Sinead O’Connor.
Sly’s heartbroken wife told local media: “I went to wake him up and he wasn’t responding, I called the doctor and that was the news.
His exact cause of death is unknown, but he is understood to have been ill for an extended period of time.
“Yesterday was such a good day for him,” Thelma told Jamaica’s Gleaner newspaper.
“He had friends come over to visit him and we all had such a good time. He ate well yesterday… sometimes he’s not into food.”
She added: “I knew he was sick… but I didn’t know that he was this sick.”
Tributes poured in for the late musician, with British DJ David Rodigan, calling him a “true icon” and “one of the greatest drummers of all time”.
