Katie Price has defended her husband, Lee Andrews, after he reportedly tried to sell a sex tape he claimed to have made with her. The 48-year-old former glamour model insists the couple never made a video together and that his comments were made in jest.
Denial and Warning
Speaking on Andrew Gold's Heretics podcast, Price said: “I’ve never done a sex tape with him. I learnt that from back in the day with [ex-boyfriend] Dane Bowers – never.” She also warned younger generations: “I always say to my kids, never – and I say to anyone who’s listening from the younger generation – send a picture to anyone naked showing your bits. One, it’s in the Cloud. You never know, it can be shared. Never do it. So I would never do it.”
Joke or Not?
Price claimed Lee was joking in a voice note, which she sent to her sister Sophie. She said: “He said it as a joke in a voice note somewhere and I sent it to my sister because the email came through to us and I said, Look, he said it as a joke. I said I haven’t even done a sex tape and then it’s come out.”
She added: “I’m not saying everyone’s lying because you can’t have smoke without fire, so I am going to ask him questions when he comes out. Obviously I wouldn’t hurt anyone and I don’t want to be with someone who’s proper scamming other people. That’s not the kind of person I want to be with either.”
Defending Her Man
Despite the controversy, Price defended Lee’s character: “I’m in the middle. I want to protect people. I want to protect myself, but also he’s done nothing to me. The Lee I know is not like that.” When asked if she was in love, she admitted: “I do love him, yeah.”
She concluded: “You only live once and if you want to do something, do it. There’s no textbook to say you have to wait this long or that. I’m a hopeless romantic, but one thing I will say, I will never let a man hurt me again. So, if Lee ends up being really like what people say, I’m not going to sit there and cry and be like, oh, he broke my heart. Because the stories started coming out a week after I met him, it’s sort of in my brain, like, just have your antennas out.”
Podcast Exchange
On her podcast with sister Sophie, Price denied the tape’s existence: “Right, can I just say something? Number one, I’ve not done a sex tape with Lee. And you did tell the papers that. He has said [that we did] in a voice note, which I sent to you, but he was joking in it.”
Sophie fumed: "The fact that he's even talking about you in that context to his mates is f***ing out of order and he's a d***head." Katie interrupted: “It wasn’t to his mates, it was to someone professional.” A gobsmacked Sophie said that made it "even worse."
When Lee was warned that selling a sex tape without Katie’s consent would be illegal, he told The Sun: “I was not serious on that mate, we have OnlyFans, we will do our thing on this.”
