Katie Price ‘hasn’t seen’ husband Lee Andrews for two months as she vows to ‘never return’ to Dubai amid divorce news

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.

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.

IT’S ALL OVER IN 8 MONTHS

By Ellie Henman

JANUARY 23, 2026: Katie announces she is engaged to Andrews just days after meeting him.

JANUARY 25: The former glamour model marries Andrews in a Dubai hotel and shares photographs of their big day with The Sun.

JANUARY 27: Andrews is exposed as a Walter Mitty who faked AI pics with celebrities, lied about top jobs and is on a travel ban.

JANUARY 28: Andrews’ ex Alana Percival and a business associate Crystal Janke warn Katie that Andrews is a conman and urge her to leave him.

FEBRUARY 17: Katie and Andrews legalise their marriage inside Abu Dhabi’s civil family court.

MARCH 3: In an interview with The Sun, Katie insists Andrews isn’t a con artist and claims he showed her proof of his wealth.

MARCH 27: In a shock U-turn, Andrews admits he did lie on his CV and blames his PA.

MAY 17: Andrews is listed as a missing person after telling Katie he was kidnapped in Dubai.

MAY 18: The Sun’s Clemmie Moodie’s bombshell investigation proves Andrews is a con artist after she invests £1,000 with him. And he has still not repaid her.

MAY 27: Katie confirms Andrews has been arrested in Dubai as he calls her from prison.

JUNE 12: Andrews is freed from Al Awir prison and Katie vows to interrogate him over the scam allegations.

JULY 11: Andrews is arrested again in Dubai put back in jail and is told he will need to pay a £120,000 fine to be released.

JULY 17: In a fresh twist, Andrews’ dad Peter is arrested and sent to the same prison over alleged fraud.

JULY 23: Clemmie Moodie releases the Lee Andrews files which expose him once and for all.

AUGUST 31: Katie removes her wedding ring as Andrews remains behind bars.

SEPTEMBER 1: She confirms to pals she is dumping Andrews after gaining access to his crypto account containing just £2.22. Katie calls in top divorce lawyer.

“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.”

Lee Andrews’ Dubai jail ‘faces outbreak of very itchy disease as it spreads like wildfire among the inmates’

LEE Andrews’ jail is allegedly facing an outbreak of a very itchy disease, which is said to be ‘spreading like wildfire’ amongst inmates.

The husband of Katie Price – who The Sun recently exposed as a conman in an explosive dossier – has been locked up in Dubai’s Al-Awir prison since last month, and is thought to remain behind bars.

As if things couldn’t be worse for the self-proclaimed ‘millionaire businessman’, it’s now been said that a disease is making its way around the notorious prison.

This was claimed in a new joint podcast between Lee’s ex, Alana Percival, and a social media account which goes by ‘The Chaos Corner’.

The woman behind Chaos Corner said during the episode: “Do you know what’s happening in jail?

“They call it, the inmates in there call it ‘The Itchies’, so, they call it The Itchies and it’s spreading like wildfire in the prison and loads of people have got it.”

LEE’S LIFE

Lee Andrews is ‘still in jail and hated by fed-up inmates over constant lies’

As Alana then asked what the disease actually was, her co-host replied that it started off as a rash between the fingers before going ‘scaly’ and spreading.

She then said it was ‘1000% scabies’, going on to joke that Lee would be leaving prison with the skin condition.

Scabies is a contagious skin infestation caused by microscopic mites that lay eggs on the upper level of skin.

The prison Lee is serving time in is the notorious Al Awir prison in Dubai, which is described as the UAE’s ‘Alcatraz’ and previously said to be ‘lice ridden’.

Lee’s ex, Alana, who was on the podcast, was his most recent partner before Katie – with Lee proposing to her just four months before marrying the former glamour model.

His current stint in jail is Lee’s second time behind bars this year, with Katie remaining in the UK and yet to speak out on the situation.

She flew straight back into his arms following his last release from prison, but has remained more silent this second time around.

Katie is, however, still wearing her wedding ring after placing it back on this week despite being spotted without it just days before.

Speaking with the hosts of The Rated Show, Katie explained: “I loved it there.”

One of them replied “Ask her how and why the day she came down is so memorable.”

“What did I f***ing do now? What didn’t I do?” laughed Katie.

“I’m the doorman that you kissed at China White’s,” he said.

A shocked Katie exclaimed: “No!”

His friend added: “He’s been living off that for 30 years. You know he hasn’t washed his face for 30 years.”

“That shows how old I am,” joked Katie.

She then explained how she couldn’t wait to appear on their show.

Katie looked happy and relaxed in the video clip but it comes days after she shared a snap on her Instagram without her wedding ring.

Katie tied the knot with conman Lee in January, just 10 days after meeting him.

Ever since, stories of Lee’s liesscams and imprisonments have filled the pages of newspapers and magazines.

However, The Sun’s explosive dossier of evidence against Lee – including a “gay affair rumour” – has, according to a source, left Katie with no choice but to consult a divorce lawyer.

Clemmie also confirmed in her in-depth article that Katie is refusing to return to Dubai – where Lee lives and is currently locked up in prison.

Meanwhile Katie has vowed to quiz her husband over his offer to sell a sex tape of them – as her sister Sophie branded him a “d***head”.

It comes after The Sun revealed Lee’s sickening plan of hawking an alleged “sex tape” with his wife.

Lee Andrews is FREED from jail for a second time

But according to our sources, Katie Price‘s husband has now been let out.

An insider told The Sun: “Lee Andrews has today been released from Al Awir prison.

“He was set free this afternoon following a short-stint behind bars.

“His dad Pete, who has been caught up in Lee’s misdemeanours, remains behind bars.”

During their stint in jail, together, father and son were understood to have seen one another inside the jail, with both believed to be facing allegations of fraud.

Sources said that Lee had to raise funds to pay off his debts, before he could be released, from where he faces extradition.

He now hopes to return to the UK, to be with his wife.

Last week The Sun revealed how sources said patient Katie has finally snapped – and is now “at the end of her tether”.

A pal said: “It is quite astonishing – you really couldn’t make this up.

“Whether poor Katie will be there to greet him on the other side remains to be seen.

“Right now she is furious with it all, and fed up with all the drama and white noise her husband is bringing.”

Lee has had a raft of damning allegations levelled against him, including ex-girlfriends who have gone on the record to share their horror stories at his hands.

He has also been accused of conning people out of thousands of pounds – claims he denies.

Lee and Katie married in January, just 10 days after meeting.

In May, he was taken by cops and, he claims, taken to a black site for questioning.

It was later discovered he was in Al-Awir prison, where he remained for one month before being released and having an emotional reunion with wife Katie.

Lewis took to his Instagram to post a heartwarming video of him and Harvey, 24, in his apartment.

Harvey is filmed giving Lewis a flower as a gift as the two share a sweet moment.

As Lewis filmed the gesture, he said: “Best gift ever. Harvey, what did you give me? 

Harvey replied: “A flower.”

“You got me a flower. It says to Lewis, you look handsome Lewis. Love from Harvey Daniel Price. Thank you so much,” he added.

The video then ends with Harvey sweetly kissing Lewis and saying “Love you”.

He captioned the post: “Harvey just melts my heart. Came back to the apartment and had this gift waiting for me (heart emoji)”

Lewis is close with the family and most recently went on holiday with Katie to Cornwall.

The pair snapped themselves whilst away, dressed in matching harnesses and helmets with Go Pro cameras attached to them. 

“What have we just done,” Lewis captioned the photo of them with an eye emoji.

Katie reshared the image on her Instagram Story and wrote: “Such a fun day with friends in Cornwall.”

She also hung out with Lewis’ parents at a pub, with Lewis sharing photos of them having dinner and cocktails. 

The pair grew close when Lewis hosted Katie and Kerry Katona’s tour around the UK, An Evening With Katie Price & Kerry Katona.

“Katie – well, what can I say, the most random, funniest and loyal person I have met and we have had lots of laughs from our daily shopping trips, sunbeds and car singalongs,” Lewis wrote alongside photos of them on tour in November.

Speaking of his relationship with Harvey, Lewis said: “Also spending a week with Harvey was the best and to see how much of an amazing mum she is and their bond is just the best, he loved my voice-over.” 

It comes several days after Lee was put into prison once again in Dubai.

The controversial businessman was arrested for unpaid debts.

Many of Lee’s victims have told The Sun he took thousands of pounds from them in supposed investment schemes only to be left high and dry.

Lee has already boasted he’s raised the cash to get out of Al-Awir prison and is expected to be a free man by the end of the week, The Sun exclusively revealed.

In another fresh blow it was then revealed, that Conman Lee Andrews’ father joined him in prison earlier this week, after being reported to officials by a third party. 

Father and son are understood to have seen one another inside the jail, with both believed to be facing allegations of fraud.

Lee is currently trying to raise funds to pay off his debts and be released, from where he faces extradition. He hopes to return to the UK, to be with his wife.

Sources say a patient Katie has finally snapped – and is now “at the end of her tether” with friends urging her to leave Lee once and for all.

Furious Katie Price hits back after being slammed as ‘utterly irresponsible’ by Meg Matthews for buying £2k dog in Dubai

KATIE Price has furiously hit back after Meg Matthews branded her “utterly irresponsible” for buying a £2,000 dog with husband Lee Andrews in Dubai. 

The 48-year-old announced yesterday how she and Lee, 43, had dropped the huge sum of cash on a male pomsky, which is a mix between a Siberian Husky and a Pomeranian.

Following the news, Meg, 60, took to Instagram to slam Katie, writing: “Why buy a puppy when you don’t live in Dubai?

“This is utterly ridiculous, irresponsible… a husky mix in Dubai, heat training takes time [and] commitment.

“Do they have a house and garden/yard? Just heartbreaking, sends the wrong message.”

Katie wasted no time in responding to Meg’s words, commenting on her post:  “Am I missing something Meg?

Katie Price & Lee say ‘we’re having a baby boy’ as they buy £2k puppy in Dubai

“Go back through your messages to me, how nice you have always been, asking me for help and now this?

“You don’t know me personally so calm down. And Lee lives in Dubai, my husband.”

Katie and Lee excited announced their newest addition yesterday, with her telling fans: “Just like we signed for our marriage, we’ve signed for our baby.

Lee added: “We’re new owners of this baby boy.”

Katie jumped in, explaining: “We’ve got no kids but this is our baby boy.”

“He’s our first baby together,” she later added as she introduced the puppy to fans.

The couple have chosen to call the blue-eyed dog Dubaii – with an extra ‘i’ – as a nod to where he’s from.

It comes days after the death of one of Katie’s Sphynx cats and disappearance of two others – Eilleen and Doris.

Announcing the sad news on Cameo, Lee told a fan: “I love dogs, I love cats, I love animals. So does Kate, so we share that empathy. She’s got five Sphynxes actually. One has just passed away.

“Sorry, eight Sphynxes, five dogs. Eight Sphynxes, now seven, one passed away.”

How to do Dubai on a budget AND with some extra cash to spend as UAE holidays are back on

Collage of travel experiences in Dubai, including a traditional boat on the water, a person in an infinity pool with the cityscape, and the Burj Khalifa.

HOLIDAYS to Dubai are back on track. The UK Foreign Office last week scrapped the advice against all but essential travel to the UAE, as well as nearby destinations such as Qatar and Bahrain.

And with hotels and attractions itching to welcome us once more, there are some great bargains to be had right now. Whether you’ve got bags of cash to spend or are hunting for ways to make your dosh go further, we’ve got you covered.

ON A BUDGET?

FROM beach club deals, through to discounted 5* “business lunches”, a classy trip can be yours but without the cost — if you know where to look.

One of the biggest expenses on a visit to the UAE city can be at the ever-popular beach clubs.

Expect to drop hundreds of dirhams once you’ve paid for entry, loungers, food and drink.

CHEAP THRILL

Dubai holidays back ON as UK lifts travel ban after hotspot caught up in Iran war

Yet one of the newest on the block is also one of the most affordable — the Casablanca.

As part of landmark resort Atlantis, the club is a bargain, so long as you time your visit for a weekday.

Paying around £24 per person for a sun lounger, you can still enjoy the pool and beach without having to spend a fortune.

My hours were happily spent with a few Prosecco foam cocktails and truffle fries while enjoying the party atmosphere, thanks to the upbeat dance music being pumped out.

Dips in the pool were followed by lolling on the beach swing, before sunning myself to dry off on my striped lounger.

Want to go higher? When it comes to a rooftop pool, Aura can’t be beaten, taking the title of the world’s tallest 360-degree infinity pool.

But if you love the views and aren’t fussed about the pool, try their lounge breakfast package.

For a fraction of the price of using the pool, you get a breakfast and two drinks.

I might have stayed dry, but I got those influencer-style shots posing next to the water without the cost. From the miso eggs benedict to pomegranate juices, I promise it’s worth the early start.

For more of the high life, also drop in at Ce La Vi. The famous bar has some of the best views of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.

But you’ll be joining the locals if you visit at lunch rather than dinner — and will stay in your budget, too.

Dinners can see a main course alone costing £30. Yet the three-course lunch set menu will set you back just £28, including a glass of wine.

But while Dubai is certainly a foodie city, the real flavour of the place is to be found in the street markets.

Head to the Grand Souk, where you’ll find breads stuffed with cheese or Nutella for £1.22, or Iranian falooda — a sorbet-like dessert made of thin rice noodles and syrup — for £1.

You’ll certainly need some energy for going shopping afterwards, with streets of spices and gold jewellery (Dubai is home to the world’s biggest gold ring — 21-carat, and weighing 59kg).

And after all that, your well- deserved rest will not tip your budget over the edge — Brits will be pleased to spot the famous purple signage of Premier Inn, there being seven across Dubai.

Yet these are pimped-up Premier Inns, with gyms and rooftop pools — as well as the familiar Costa outlet in the lobby.

And who knew they’d be even cheaper than the UK, with rooms for as little as £21 a night during the off-season? That means you could spend a week in Dubai for under £150 — half the price of one night at the Atlantis.

Otherwise there’s Rove, the UAE’s own budget hotel chain.
Slightly pricier at £44, it has a bit more to it, from ice-cream trucks to beach- bar happy hours.

So don’t believe the rumours that Dubai has to be expensive.

Live the high life — often literally — and still come home with some change to spare.

MORE CASH TO SPLASH?

IN my opinion, upgrading your hotel generally comes with a multitude of benefits that extend way beyond just a swankier room.

The Palm ­— so named because of its fronds of sand jutting out into the sea that resemble the leaves of a palm tree — is one of the most desirable areas to stay in but you can get the same luxury for a fraction of the price elsewhere.

Book one of the 5* resorts that sit at the bottom of its branch, along Mina Seyahi beach.

The 5* Westin is a sprawling resort that features several pools and seemingly more sun loungers than there are rooms.

With a whopping ten restaurants on site, you don’t even need to leave the resort.

Kids have use of all the fun-packed waterslides at neighbouring hotel Le Meridien, while parents can kick back in the adults-only area where there is a constant supply of mellow music and freshly shaken cocktails.

Adults after a more sophisticated atmosphere, however, will likely prefer the trendy 5* W Hotel, home to bold bedrooms and the sky-high Attiko restaurant (for those aged 21 and over).

The menu of Asian-fusion bites is designed for sharing — try the spicy tuna taco topped with avocado and yuzu and the crispy scallop, served in its shell.

These are dished up alongside cocktails that are as jaw-dropping as the views of twinkling hotels at night.

It’s safe to say fancy food isn’t in short supply in Dubai. In fact, this Middle Eastern city is now catching up with some of the world’s most celebrated foodie destinations — competing with the likes of Tokyo and Paris.

The Michelin Guide for Dubai features 117 restaurants for 2026.

Last year, Avatara, in Dubai Hills, became the first vegetarian Indian restaurant in the world to earn a Michelin star. And having sampled all 17 delicately crafted courses on its flavour-packed tasting menu, I can see why it’s ranked so highly.

The experience is wonderfully theatrical, and the plates could be considered works of art, not just the meals — decorated with edible flowers, rich sauces and billowing dry ice.

It costs around £150pp for the tasting menu, but my word, you’ll leave satisfied and full to the brim. But while Avatara may have the wow factor for serious foodies, those who prefer more of an experiential dinner should book a Lady Nara cruise.

This fancy wooden vessel runs breakfast and dinner sailings at various times of day, but the most spectacular has to be at night when Dubai’s glowing skyscrapers are fully lit.

We sailed between various landmarks while tucking into a feast cooked up in the kitchen below deck. Hors d’oeuvres were followed by huge bowls of fresh leaves and artichokes topped with shaved Parmesan, and hearty meats served in zingy sauces, while gentle music hummed in the background.

If fine dining isn’t your thing but you still want to push the boat out a bit, you can always spend that hard-earned dosh on a flight upgrade instead.

Emirates is the official airline of Dubai and is currently the only one offering direct flights from the UK. It launched a fourth daily flight between Dubai and Gatwick at the start of this year, giving travellers even greater flexibility.

The experience in Emirates business-class cabins is as flashy as Dubai itself, thanks to the doting crew, as well as the on-board cocktail bar — where you can while away the eight or so hours on board sipping on martinis made at 38,000ft.

Foreign Office lifts travel ban to UAE including Dubai but issues stark warning for Brits

The Foreign Office has lifted its warning against travelling to the United Arab Emirates including Dubai and Abu Dhabi

The Foreign Office has lifted its travel ban to the United Arab Emirates.

The FCDO has had a warning against all but essential travel to the UAE in place since March, due to the Middle East war, but today (Thursday 18th June), it updated its advice and no longer warns against travel to the region. It has also issued updates for 14 countries including Cyprus and Turkey.

However, the government body still has a stark warning in place for Brits. As part of an update on ‘regional tensions’ it warns:

“The US and Iran have announced a memorandum of understanding in relation to the conflict in the Middle East. The situation remains unpredictable and attacks could resume at short notice.

“Should hostilities resume, British nationals should:

  • read If you’re affected by a crisis abroad – GOV.UK. This includes guidance on “how to prepare for a crisis” with suggestions on what you might include in your emergency supplies and “what to do in a crisis”
  • follow advice from the local authorities
  • sign up to FCDO Travel Advice email alerts
  • monitor local and international media for the latest information
  • stay away from areas around security or military facilities
  • keep your departure plans under review, and ensure your travel documents are up to date
  • if you are advised to take shelter, stay indoors or find the nearest safe building or designated shelter. An interior stairwell or a room with as few external walls or windows as possible may provide additional protection. The greatest risk is from falling debris caused by intercepts, and you are safest inside a secure structure

“Before the 8 April ceasefire, the Iranian regime had stated its intention to target locations in the Gulf associated with the US and Israel. This included US or Israeli-linked organisations, businesses, facilities and institutions. Iran has previously targeted civilian infrastructure across the region such as ports, hotels, roads, bridges, energy facilities, oil production sites, water systems, and airports.”

Dubai holidays back ON as UK lifts travel ban after holiday hotspot was hit by missiles in Iran war

DUBAI holidays can now go ahead as the UK Foreign Office has lifted the travel ban.

All non-essential travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was banned back in March.

This was due to the Iran conflict which saw Dubai caught up in the attacks, which included a drone strike on Dubai International Airport.

However, the US and Iran have since signed a peace plan that ends the ongoing war.

In response, the UK Foreign Office has updated their travel advice earlier today.

It now says: “FCDO no longer advises against all but essential travel to UAE.”

Dubai travel warning: How the Israel-Hamas war is affecting UAE flights

It still warns that the situation is “unpredictable and attacks could resume at short notice”.

However, the lifting of the ban means holidays can resume to the region.

Last year, 1.4million Brits visited Dubai alone, which have since massively dropped due to the travel ban.

British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have already suspended flights to Dubai until October 2026 and winter 2027, respectively.

However, Emirates continues to operate flights between the UK and the UAE.

The travel ban being lifted also affects Abu Dhabi, where holidays can also resume.

The UK Foreign Office has lifted the travel ban for Qatar as well, which includes flights going through Doha.

In response, Qatar Airways has increased the number of flights operating between the UK and Doha, including 49 flights a week from London Heathrow and 14 a week from Edinburgh.

What does this now mean for your holiday?

The Sun’s Head of Travel Lisa Minot explains more:

It’s back!

Travel to the Middle East plummeted in the wake of the Iran war and our Foreign Office advising against all but essential travel to the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.

For decades, British sun-seekers have been used to flying via the Middle Eastern hubs. Airlines like Emirates, Etihad and Qatar aggressively took on the legacy carriers like British Airways and Singapore Airlines with value flights and unbeatable service.

All that came shuddering to a halt when the war in Iran saw missiles fired at the glitzy skyscrapers of Dubai and drones were shot down over Qatar’s major hub airport in Doha.

Overnight, hotels emptied and travellers scrabbled for direct flights to destinations in the Far East and Australia, or switched to the traditional hub airports in Singapore and Hong Kong.

With the peace plan now agreed, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

It is fantastic news that the Foreign Office has moved swiftly to lift the blanket ban that threw the holiday plans of millions into chaos.

Demand to Dubai and its neighbouring emirates including Abu Dhabi will no doubt bounce back quickly.

Those tourism-dependent countries are desperate to tempt us back. Expect a wave of great holiday deals and rock bottom fares in the coming weeks to encourage us to pack our bags.

But there is still a sting in the tail – the shocking rise in oil prices due to the closure of the Hormuz Straits hit the industry hard. Airfares will have to rise as airlines attempt to balance their books after such a sustained period of unrest.

But for now, for those who loved the Dubai beach clubs or appreciated the chance to travel seamlessly across the globe via the Middle East, there’s cause for celebration.

The gateway to these sun-drenched spots is open once more.

This affects long-haul holidays to places like Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Australia, who often use these Middle East hubs as stopover destinations.

Many destinations have seen a drop in tourism because of the war – Thailand predicted as many as 11million long-haul arrivals this year, but has since dropped this to 10million.

Emotional moment Katie Price leaps into husband Lee Andrew’s arms after jail release

KATIE Price has emotionally reunited with her husband Lee Andrews just days after his release from prison.

The Sun revealed how the self-proclaimed ‘billionaire businessman’ – who has spent the last month locked up in Dubai’s notorious Al-Awir prison –was freed on Friday.

After weeks apart, Katie quickly jetted back to Dubai from the UK over the weekend to see her other half.

Sharing an emotional reunion on Sunday evening, the former glamour model jumped into Lee’s arms as he picked her up and hugged her.

The beaming couple were pictured kissing, hugging and holding hands as they headed to Vox Dubai, an outdoor rooftop cinema, to catch a World Cup football game.

While Katie previously told The Sun she had plenty of questions for her elusive husband upon their reunion, it appeared those could wait as the couple got straight back to PDA – with the reconciliation appearing to be a far cry from crisis talks.

The mum-of-five said earlier this month that she will only divorce the suspected conman once she has questioned him herself.

She said: “I cannot just walk away from my marriage without seeing him again.”

The Sun previously reported how Lee had been locked up in Al-Awir over a “private civil matter”, believed to be related to allegations of fraud, on May 14.

Among the claims, one of the cases against the self-proclaimed businessman is understood to be over a bounced cheque.

He initially claimed to Katie that he had been arrested on suspicion of spying. Authorities in Dubai later confirmed to The Sun that this was not the case.

This weekend, Katie confirmed that she had touched down in Dubai ahead of the reunion via Snapchat, where she shared a selfie in front of the city’s skyline.

Who is Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews?

KATIE Price tied the knot with Lee Andrews in January 2026. Yet who is he?

  • Katie Price has married businessman fiancé Lee Andrews in a whirlwind wedding
  • It is the fourth time Katie, 47, has been a bride. She has also been married to Peter AndreAlex Reid and Kieran Hayler
  • Katie and Lee met just after being introduced on social media
  • Lee claimed he is a billionaire in a failed clip from his acting career
  • He now claims to be a Dubai-based businessman
  • Yet The Sun has unmasked him as a fantasist who faked celebrity links using AI-generated photos and recently talked about marrying two other women
  • Failed actor is just another title to add to Lee’s questionable CV, after he claimed to have once worked as the Director of Philanthropy at The Prince’s Trust (now The King’s Trust)
  • Lee also shared images – since proven to be AI – of him working with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian
  • It’s been revealed shameless Lee told former girlfriends that he had studied at Cambridge University, and has a PhD in biotechnology science
  • But The Sun has seen a response from the university explaining it could not find a record of Lee being registered as a student with a date of birth they had provided
  • His LinkedIn profile says Lee has been a Member of the Board of Advisors to the Labour Party since 2015
  • Lee was also mocked for repeating the exact same wedding proposal on Katie – that he did for another woman just four months ago.

Katie’s return to the UAE comes just a week after she headed out there in the hopes of freeing him from prison, but was told she’d need a hefty £140,000 to bail him out – which she refused.

She gave The Sun exclusive access to the trip, with Showbiz Editor Clemmie Moodie joining her.

During which, Clemmie sat Katie down to confront her about Lee and the many untruths he has told over recent months – with the full 56 minute sit down available to watch here.

At the time, Katie admitted there were several questions she didn’t know the answer to, and was waiting for Lee to exit prison to quiz him.

Since then, Lee has returned to social media and has been spotted interacting with his wife’s posts.

However, he is yet to address the public, despite sparking a national manhunt before it was confirmed he was in prison, as he seemingly went AWOL.
