The situation surrounding Katie Price’s husband, Lee Andrews, remains unclear. Reports initially stated he was missing, but now his phone is reportedly active. This comes just after his father claimed Andrews is currently imprisoned in Dubai.
A 43-year-old businessman disappeared 12 days ago, and his wife, Katie, 48, believes he was kidnapped after losing contact with her.
The TV personality claimed he was suddenly cut off during a conversation while explaining he’d been arrested. He said he was then forced into a van, hooded, and with his hands bound, and taken to a secret, undisclosed location—what he called a ‘black site’.
But on Saturday, Lee’s father, Peter, revealed to the Daily Mail that Lee had been arrested by authorities in the UAE and is currently in jail. Peter is one of the few people in Dubai who supports Lee.
He confirmed that Lee is safe and hasn’t been kidnapped, but he is currently under arrest. The reason for the arrest is unknown, and his location is also unclear. However, Lee is expected to make contact later today.
‘He is not at my house,’ he added, while a police source said: ‘Lee Andrews has been arrested.’
Okay, so this is a bit of a shocker! It’s been confirmed that the head of Dubai Police is currently facing multiple arrest warrants, and unfortunately, they’re largely related to fraud. It’s definitely a surprising development, and something I’m following closely as it unfolds – trust me, staying informed is key to navigating these kinds of situations.
Brigadier Khalid Khalifa al Avadhi told the Daily Mail: ‘There are many cases against him.’
The confusion about Lee’s disappearance has grown, especially since he seemed to be using social media and there are now reports he’s been on his phone.
Someone who knows Lee said one of his phones was turned on again Sunday morning. They told The Sun that they had been trying to message him but weren’t getting any replies.
Okay, so I was obsessively checking, constantly, and on Sunday morning, finally! The little message indicator went from one tick to two! It means his phone is back on, he’s actually using it! He has like, a bunch of phones, but it’s this one, the one I was losing my mind over, that he’s got with him right now. I can’t even breathe!
Lee unexpectedly reappeared on social media Friday, following a woman named Marisol on Instagram – over a week after Katie last heard from him.
People familiar with the situation say Marisol, who presents herself as a motorcycle enthusiast, has dated wealthy men before, and was once a member of a dating website specifically for millionaires.
Katie is said to be extremely angry that Lee has reappeared on social media just nine days after going missing. She had previously expressed concerns that he might have been abducted in Dubai.
According to a source speaking to The Sun, Katie is extremely angry about everything that’s happened. They said she was absolutely furious and terrified when Lee told her he’d been kidnapped last week.
She initially believed their relationship was real, but now things are falling apart. Friends and family have cautioned her that it’s all a deception, but Katie truly loves Lee.
This week, Luisa Zissman, a former contestant on The Apprentice and a friend of Lee who lives in Dubai, added another layer of mystery to the story.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following this case closely, and something struck me as significant. I noticed recent activity on the missing person’s social media, and it really suggests to me that whoever is holding him is allowing him some access – which is a potentially important clue, and frankly, a little unsettling.
Katie quickly responded to the report about her husband’s safety with a social media post. She stated that the account people were seeing wasn’t her husband’s, but her own, explaining she had access to his Facebook account.
In the latest episode of her podcast, she announced she was ending her personal search for her husband, who she believes was kidnapped. She explained this decision was necessary for her mental health and stated she’s now letting the police handle the investigation.
The mother of five first asked her social media followers to help find Lee, but Katie now says she won’t let his vanishing affect her life, after reports suggest he has simply cut off all contact.
She explained she’d done all she could and had nothing left to add. She’s now letting the police handle the situation.
I’m not going to discuss this any further. It’s become absurd, and people are just mocking everything now, so I’m choosing to stay silent.
Katie explained that the police – including British authorities, the British consulate, the Foreign Office, and Interpol – are now investigating the search for Lee.
Honestly, dwelling on things just isn’t me. I’m choosing to focus on moving forward and I have some really great opportunities on the horizon. I’m keeping my phone close, hoping for that call, but I refuse to let waiting hold me back. I’m not the type to just give up and stay in bed – I have to keep busy and live my life!
I’m confident we’ll get to the bottom of things. I don’t mean to sound unfriendly, but I need to protect my own well-being right now, so I’m going to distance myself for a bit.
Earlier this week, the Daily Mail sent reporters to Dubai after the former model announced her fourth husband was missing and expressed worry for his well-being.
The British Foreign Office was notified, but their team in Dubai couldn’t find any sign of him. Local authorities in Dubai also said they didn’t know where he was.
Lee wasn’t at his last known home in Satwa, a somewhat neglected part of the city. He had lived there with his father, Peter, before he met Katie.
The property’s letting agent said the father and son who lived there moved out roughly four months ago.
She said: ‘Mr Andrews moved out of the property about four months ago.’
Lee has lived in Dubai for two decades and is now a popular bodybuilder there.
Despite asking around at all the gyms and boxing clubs he visits, no one had any information about how he was doing.
Employees at Top Gym, his preferred fitness camp located in the popular Jumeirah Palm area, reported that he hadn’t visited in over a month.
Someone mentioned they all know Lee, and he’s a frequent visitor. He recently brought his wife, who is slender with dark hair. However, they haven’t seen him since the third week of April.
A trainer from a nearby gym also mentioned that Andrews has been seen around the Palm Jumeirah. They advised a couple of their clients to be cautious around him, describing him as untrustworthy.
But Lee’s ex-wife told the Daily Mail that she was not surprised that he had been arrested.
Okay, look, I’m a huge fan, I really am, but honestly? I’ve been saying this for years. This guy… he’s just… unsettling. I don’t want to get into trouble for saying this, so I’ll stay anonymous, but seriously, the way he carries himself? It’s chilling. I’m telling you, he’s a total psychopath.
He’s facing around 20 arrest warrants, mainly for fraud, so it doesn’t surprise me that he’s been taken into custody.
It’s unbelievable how badly he treated me. I regret wasting so much time in a relationship with him and feel foolish for staying as long as I did.
He’s a manipulative person who took advantage of me financially and stole my jewelry. He’s unkind and appears to be isolated, as he doesn’t seem to have any close friends.
His own family doesn’t approve of him, and his mother actually tried to tell me he was trouble. He stole my engagement ring, and now Katie Price is wearing it.
She explained that going to the airport put him at risk due to the many surveillance cameras.
Dubai police won’t actively search for him, but they will arrest him if he’s caught on camera.
I always noticed he wore a hat, and now it makes sense! I figured it was to avoid the security cameras – he must have known they couldn’t identify him with a cap. It’s a shame it wasn’t enough to keep him hidden, but I guess that’s how they finally got him.
