The former glamour flew back to the country over the weekend to visit her “Walter Mitty” husband Lee Andrews.

Katie, 47, said it would be a short trip for a honeymoon following their quickie wedding.

But pals fear she is planning to relocate to Dubai for good.

What REALLY happened at Katie Price’s wedding – by celebrant who married her

“She is really excited and thinks she is going to have her happy ending with Lee.

“But those close to Katie fear this could be the start of a potential scam.

“She was only supposed to be in Dubai for two days but she’s still not returned home.

“Katie says she is busy planning her new life with Lee and has splashed the cash on this property – but it’s making her closest friends and family anxious.

“They’re concerned about his motives and that is only natural given what some of his ex partners have said.”

The Sun reported last month how two of Lee’s former partners, Alana Percival and Crystal Janke, had issued stark warnings to the mum-of-five.

Alana, who was engaged to Lee, told Katie to “run to the hills” and branded Lee a “liar” and a “narcissist”.

Crystal echoed her sentiment and warned Katie not to give Lee money.
It comes after The Sun revealed how businessman Lee lives a Walter Mitty style existence in Dubai.

Lee was accused of using artificial intelligence to fake images of himself with tech billionaire Elon Musk and reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

He was also claimed to be speaking to multiple women at the same time, with single mum Tina Prodromou alleging Lee was sending her mucky messages in December saying what he would do to her “when we are married”.

Katie Price’s money worries

REALITY star Katie Price has faced multiple bankruptcy hearings.

She initially avoided it in 2018 with an IVA.

But she was then declared bankrupt for the first time in November 2019 and blew her £45million fortune.

Katie was then declared bankrupt again in March 2024 for over £750,000 in unpaid tax.

In August 2024, a warrant was issued for her arrest for failing to attend a hearing.

She later had a private interview and a public exam for the second bankruptcy which was set for April 2025.

As per reports, Katie remains under strict income payment orders until 2027.

Lee calls himself Dr Lee Andrews and says he founded Aura Sustainable Vehicles on Linkedin.

He also claims he is the founder of Blue Diamond Resorts, now Royalton Hotels and Resorts.

But in a statement to The Sun, they denied this and said: “We can confirm that Dr Wes Lee Andrews (also known as Lee Andrews) is not the founder of Blue Diamond Resorts.

“Based on our corporate records, he has not been affiliated with the company in any professional capacity.”

Andrew lists himself as a Director of Philanthropy at the Prince’s Trust — now the King’s Trust.

But they denied his involvement and said  Lee does not hold the role of Director of Philanthropy, and it has no record of him as a volunteer, or under the moniker Weslee Andrews, which he uses online.

Another claim by Lee was that he had been a Member of the Board of Advisors to the Labour Party since 2015.

A Labour insider denied his claim to The Sun and said: “We don’t have a board of advisors and he doesn’t work with us.”

Lee’s former fiancee Alana warned: “Lee doesn’t know what’s fact and what’s fiction.

“It’s worrying because I think he believes his own lies.”

SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 4 (UPI) — Chileans want more restrictive laws for unauthorized migrants and even the imposition of prison sentences, according to the latest Plaza Pública survey by public opinion firm Cadem.

The survey results were released after president-elect José Antonio Kast conducted a tour of Central America and the Caribbean this week.

Kast, who will take office in March, met with the presidents of the Dominican Republic, Panama and El Salvador to discuss security and organized crime in the region.

In El Salvador, he also visited the Terrorism Confinement Center, or Cecot, the notorious maximum-security mega prison promoted by President Nayib Bukele.

The Cadem survey found that 79% of respondents believe Chile should adopt a more restrictive migration policy than the current one. In addition, 74% said they agree with having a law that sets prison sentences for irregular migration, while 81% approve of expelling all irregular migrants.

However, 61% said they would support regularizing migrants who can prove they have formal employment.

Immigration was one of the most prominent issues in Kast’s presidential campaign, with proposals such as expelling irregular migrants, installing physical barriers at unauthorized border crossings and limiting the transfer of remittances abroad.

Chile’s migration conflict centers on a crisis of irregular immigration that has strained public services, including health care, education and housing, and increased perceptions of insecurity.

Kast has promoted with neighboring countries the opening of a humanitarian corridor to allow migrants to leave. He has also announced that during his first 90 days in office, he will submit to Congress a bill to classify irregular entry into Chile as a crime, which is currently considered only an administrative offense.

“The migration issue was a central topic of the presidential campaign that has just ended and, therefore, it will also be a central issue for the government that begins in March,” Republican Party lawmaker Stephan Schubert, tied to the incoming president’s coalition, told UPI.

For that reason, he emphasized the need to work on a migration reform to address all the changes that are required.

“It is an issue that needs to be put in order by the future government, and that involves strengthening borders to prevent irregular crossings, but also modifying legislation to establish irregular entry into Chile as a crime,” he said.

Schubert also said priority must be given to “the expulsion of those foreign citizens who, by administrative resolution or court ruling, must leave our country.”

Deputy-elect Fabián Ossandón, from the right-wing Partido de la Gente, told UPI that Kast should push for a deep migration reform, with a priority focus on the northern regions of the country, which border Peru and Bolivia.

“That agenda must include border control with technology and intelligence, effective expulsions of those who violate regulations, regularization processes with clear and demanding requirements, and real regional coordination with neighboring countries,” he said.

One obstacle for the new government is that it will not hold a majority in Congress to approve all of its reforms with the support of the center-right alone, forcing it to seek consensus.

Migration policy specialist Byron Duhalde, of the Center for Migration Studies at the University of Santiago, said the future president’s idea of modifying migration categories requires changes to the law.

“An absolute majority in Congress is required to approve modifications. The parties that are part of the new government do not have the necessary votes,” Duhalde said.

However, Ossandón defended the possibility, arguing that “there is broad-based citizen support to move forward with deep changes, and Congress has a responsibility to legislate on the real priorities of people and the country.”

He added: “On this matter, it is key to act with determination and coordination to push for an effective migration reform that provides certainty, order and clear rules, and that can be implemented as quickly as possible.”

Political analyst Guillermo Bustamante, an assistant professor in the the Faculty of Communications of the University of the Andes, said Kast will be forced to build bridges to advance legislative reforms.

“Here, the figures of his political committee, the presidents of governing and opposition parties, as well as parliamentary caucus leaders, will be relevant,” Bustamante said, adding that the first days of the new administration will be key for the opposition to define its own course of action.

“What we have seen so far does not allow us to ensure that migration will find an agreement between the parties, nor that there is an intention to engage in dialogue around this issue with a 20-year outlook,” he said.

Nevertheless, Duhalde noted that given the positions of political parties on migration, significant cross-party agreement exists on tightening certain measures.

“It is an issue in which the coalition of parties that will be governing will indeed have opportunities to negotiate with the Party of the People, for example, to secure the missing votes needed to legislate on this matter,” he said.

He said he believes clear results will only be achieved if authorities manage to respond to migrants’ needs.

“The challenge will be to design strategies and measures that respond in a balanced way in terms of security, but also protect the fundamental rights of these people in vulnerable situations, linked to the political, social and economic crisis in Venezuela,” Duhalde said.

Mel also looked stunning as she flaunted her toned figure in blue thong bikini bottoms while sunbathing on the beach. 

The couple also shared snaps of them taking part in paddleboarding and diving into the sea.

In another sizzling snap, the singer showed off her incredible figure when in a tiny leopard-print bikini as she posed on a boat. 

Mel also looked beautiful last summer as she kissed her new husband Rory at St Paul’s Cathedral after their wedding ceremony.

Meanwhile Rory looked dapper in a tradition Scottish kilt as he kissed his new wife on the steps of the Cathedral.

The newlyweds then beamed as they headed down the steps and off to their reception in a horse-drawn white carriage, while their guests were transported in tradition red Route master double decker buses.

The couple shared a sweet kiss in the back of the carriage as they enjoyed their first moments as man and wife.

Ahead of the ceremony, fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton led the star-studded arrivals, and was the only Spice Girl spotted in attendance, bar the bride herself.

Meanwhile, Mel has dropped a huge hint that the famed noughties girl group could reunite.

Mel B was spotted liking a clip about the Spice Girls getting back together after they officially split in 2001.

Speaking on the Shouldn’t Laugh But… podcast Laura Smyth suggested the only way Victoria Beckham, 51, could escape the PR “disaster” which ensued after her son Brooklyn’s explosive statement, is to get the group back together.

The Beckham’s estranged son accused his mum and dad of 12 blistering allegations on Monday – which seems to have put an end to any rumours of reconciliation.

But now Pop singer Mel B seems to agree with the podcast hosts as she dropped a cheeky like on the post.

Fans couldn’t help but see it as a sign – they went wild begging for a new album and a tour.
