Lee Andrews, the husband of Katie Price, has publicly agreed to undergo a live television lie detector test, as he continues to deny allegations of fraud that led to his detention in Dubai. The 43-year-old, who refers to himself as a businessman, shared a selfie with Katie on Instagram on Friday, captioned: "Britain's bad boy Lee Andrews agrees to live TV lie detector test." This post is part of a series of social media updates following his release from Al Awir prison in Dubai.
Background on Detention and Allegations
Andrews was detained in Dubai after fraud allegations surfaced, but he has consistently denied any wrongdoing. He claims he was arrested at gunpoint on suspicion of espionage, a narrative he maintains despite conflicting reports. Since returning to Instagram, he has repeatedly addressed the controversy, disputing media reports and insisting there is "not one shred of evidence" against him.
Claims of TV Appearances and EastEnders Cameo
Andrews has expressed a desire to travel to the UK for television appearances, reportedly claiming he has a cameo role in the popular soap opera EastEnders. In a Cameo video filmed in Dubai and shared with The Sun, he told a fan: "Between you and me, I've got a little cameo coming on EastEnders. I'm trying to get Kate on there as well. I've been speaking with the BBC casting director. I've got some projects lined up." However, a source later told the Mirror that there are currently no plans for Andrews to appear in EastEnders.
Unmet Family and Legal Challenges
Despite marrying Katie Price earlier this year, Andrews has yet to visit the UK or meet her family, even though he alleged he had adopted her five children. He has also expressed interest in appearing on Good Morning Britain with Katie to respond to criticism from presenter Susanna Reid, who referred to him as a "conman." Andrews called for Reid to lose her job over the remarks.
Reports indicate Andrews may face a return to prison if he fails to settle outstanding debts in Dubai within a set period. Documents seen by MailOnline reportedly show debts related to a rental car and legal fees in the UAE. A representative for Andrews stated he had appeared in court, explaining he could not access funds to settle the amount and requested more time. He continues to reject all allegations and aims to clear his name as speculation persists.
