Katie Price's husband, Lee Andrews, has reportedly been released from a Dubai prison for the second time in just a few weeks. The self-proclaimed millionaire businessman was arrested 10 days ago on alleged fraud charges and taken to Lahab police station, according to reports. He was trying to raise £120,000 to pay off a fine but has now been freed from Al Awir prison.
Release and Travel Ban
A source 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.” Despite his release, Lee still faces a travel ban out of Dubai. However, it is said that he hopes to fly to the UK to reunite with Katie Price, although the former glamour model is reportedly “at the end of her tether” with his ongoing legal troubles.
Katie Price's Reaction
The insider added: “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 into her life.” Friends and family of Katie hope this will be the “last straw” and that she will finally see sense, as they have been worried sick since she met Lee.
Lee's Father Still in Prison
While Lee has been released, his father Pete remains behind bars. Pete was allegedly arrested on his own fraud charges after being reported by a third party. The source confirmed: “His dad, Pete, who has been caught up in Lee's misdemeanours, remains behind bars.”
Sex Tape Allegations
Earlier, voice notes were leaked of Lee discussing selling a sex tape that he claimed featured him and Katie. Reports suggested he was attempting to make £250,000 from such a tape. However, when informed that selling a tape without Katie's consent would be illegal, Lee allegedly claimed he was only joking. Katie released a statement saying: “This story is completely untrue. I have never made such a tape, and any suggestion otherwise is false and deeply misleading.” She added: “The claims appear to be based on a voice note sent from Lee discussing a tape...a tape which does not exist and never will. This material has been passed on by a third party and does not reflect reality. I feel incredibly upset, abused and humiliated that such serious and false allegations have been shared publicly without any factual basis.”
Ongoing Drama
The Mirror has reached out to Katie Price's representatives for comment on the latest developments.
