Katie Price is set to reunite with her new husband, Lee Andrews, in Dubai as the couple defiantly stands by their whirlwind wedding amid a storm of public scrutiny and personal allegations. The former glamour model, 47, stunned fans by announcing her marriage last weekend before briefly returning to the UK, leaving Andrews awaiting her arrival in the Emirates.
Defiant Messages from the Desert
Businessman Lee Andrews has taken to social media to share a heartfelt, albeit filtered, video message for his wife. From his cart in Dubai, he explained, "It's not as bright as this. I put a filter on because it's such a dingy day now." He then blew a kiss to the camera, captioning the upload "Waiting for Katie" and adding, "Anyway, I will see you when you arrive at the airport, I love you so much."
Earlier, Andrews posted a telling meme on his Instagram Stories, declaring his unwavering support for Price. It read: "Me defending my wife with zero clue what she did, but 100% in her corner anyway." This comes as the pair face mounting questions about the legitimacy and speed of their vow exchange, with speculation rife among followers and critics alike.
Allegations and Heartfelt Denials
The reunion preparations unfold against a backdrop of serious allegations from Andrews' past. An ex-partner, Alana Percival, has publicly warned Katie to "run for the hills," claiming that Andrews once told her he had a heart condition and was living on "borrowed time." Percival told The Sun, "Katie should run for the hills," and later posted on Instagram, "I hope Katie listens, I wish I had listened to all the others that warned me!"
Andrews has vehemently denied using his health as leverage, explaining to reporters that he has an aortic heart valve that doesn't close properly. He stated, "It's on the left chamber of the heart, you can check this with my hospital... What happens is that the blood regurgitates back into the chamber. My heart hasn't enlarged, so I'm good. The only fix would be a mechanical fix, or organic tissue would be from a pig, I assume." He insists the condition was merely "brought up in conversation with my partner" and never used manipulatively.
Standing Strong with Matching Ink
Despite the controversy, Katie Price appears resolute in her support for Andrews. Both have proudly displayed matching tattoos of each other's names and the numbers "11:11," a symbol Percival claims holds personal significance from her own past with Andrews. She revealed, "He puts 100 per cent effort into you," noting he would call her daily at that time.
Price's imminent return to Dubai has caused her to miss a recording of her podcast with sister Sophie, but sources insist normalcy will resume next week. As the couple gears up for their reunion, they continue to post defiantly on social media, showcasing a united front against the tide of criticism and scrutiny engulfing their new marriage.
