KATIE Price has revealed what husband Lee Andrews told her on the phone from prison as she admitted “time is running out”.
The Sun revealed yesterday that self-proclaimed businessman Lee must pay a fine of more than £100,000 to be released from jail.
The ex-glamour model, 48, is thought to have believed her hubby could walk free in Dubai this week if he could stump up a four-figure fine.
But after she spoke to him, it emerged he “needs a six-figure sum” instead.
And now Katie has shared her fears for Lee, saying she was worried he would not be released anytime soon.
Revealing details of her last phone conversation with Lee, Katie said: “I’m absolutely knackered, it’s the second morning because I spoke to Lee yesterday and he wants me to go to the Al Awir prison because he’s given me permission to get all his phones, his belongings.
“So I’m going there now.
“I still need to hear back from his lawyer if I can get a visit to see him.
“It’s Wednesday and I go on Friday… time is running out.”
Katie admitted she was now able to reach her husband because she had a Dubai number for him in prison.
“I’m feeling knackered today, I’m excited, but excited for what? Because I don’t know if I’m seeing Lee but at least I now know he can ring me, I’ve got the Dubai number so at least I know he can ring me,” she added.
“So let’s go to the prison again.”
The previous day, Katie posted a clip while at a hair salon in Dubai as she told fans she was “all glam, just to go to bed and chill”.
She said: “The time is half five, I’m going to go back to the hotel, get in bed and watch telly all night until tomorrow morning.
“That’s so bad, coming to Dubai and I’m going to bed at half six in the evening, that’s shocking.
“I could go and party, have a drink, but I’m happy to go back to the hotel for a cup of tea in bed.”
Former I’m A Celebrity star Katie flew out on Monday and has visited the notorious Al Awir Central Prison several times, though her only contact with her hubby is via phone.
A source told The Sun yesterday: “Katie is desperately trying to get Lee out of prison.
“Despite everything that’s gone on, Lee is her husband and Katie wants to get him out and get the answers she so badly needs.
“She has been to the prison a number of times now, including going there today, to try to get the paperwork sorted to secure his release.
“To be released, Lee will have to pay over £100,000.
“He is confident he can get the cash and has assured Katie she won’t need to pay anything.”
Lee, who mysteriously disappeared last month, is said to be in jail over a civil matter.
Mum of five Katie last night confirmed she was trying to get him out, and admitted it was exhausting.
She said in a social media video: “I have got to go to courts, prison and the police station.
“Not visiting him in prison but ‘the’ prison.
“Who knows what today will bring.
“I am so tired.”
Katie married Nottingham-born Andrews, 42, in Dubai in January, just days after meeting him.
Prior to his disappearance, he told her he was flying to the UK to go on Good Morning Britain for their first joint interview.
However, the UAE government had banned him from leaving the country for allegedly forging a signature on a six-figure loan.
Katie then feared he had been kidnapped after he disappeared.
Subsequently, she said Andrews called her to say he was in jail, apparently for spying.
Officials later confirmed to The Sun his incarceration was linked to a “private civil matter”.
Any potential release may not be straightforward, according to a source last night.
