Lee Andrews, Katie Price's estranged husband, has denied speculation that he faked his own death just days after his release from prison was confirmed. The former glamour model's ex took to social media to play down the rumours, updating his Instagram bio to read: "Very much alive."
Death Rumours Circulate Online
His ex Alana Percival shared a screenshot on Instagram that appeared to indicate Lee had died. Before he confirmed he is still alive, she said: "To everyone messaging me asking if Lee has passed away... I don't know... Lee lies so so much and told me he was dying once (which was a lie) so I don't know what to believe seeing this!"
She added: "He is a very unwell person and is someone that would do this for attention or planning something, or trying to make people feel sorry for him. He is sick regardless. But the answer is, I don't know..."
Accusations of Attention-Seeking
Alana accused Lee of seeking attention, saying: "Says he's been hacked... more like wasn't getting a lot of Instagram views so wanted some sort of attention and views, soon he'll be showing you all his insights saying 'thank you for all the support'. F***ing sick sick man."
She went on: "Hacked and back within an hour. Man thinks everyone is thick. Everyone sees through this. He has deep serious issues. I just received 100s of messages with this and within 10 mins and me already saying it won't be true after he uses this stunt when he isn't getting enough attention like he did with me, if this didn't show you how poorly this man really is then you got something wrong with you!!!"
Looking to Move On
The update comes days after Lee admitted he is ready to move on with a "younger model" after his split from Katie Price. The former glamour model, 48, ended her whirlwind marriage after less than a year together after Lee found himself behind bars.
Speaking in texts to the Daily Mail, Lee said he is "on the look out for a much younger model" when it comes to a new relationship. He added: "I feel I'd be more appreciated with a partner late 20s early 30s with prospects already on the horizon. However I won't be acting on any proposals as I remain still married but not together with Katie.. wouldn't embarrass us this way as I'd keep all my personal affairs private."
