Katie Price was spotted at London Gatwick airport on Monday as she flew to Dubai to reunite with her husband Lee Andrews. The businessman is currently in prison after going missing for two weeks, and has been incarcerated over a 'private civil matter' in Dubai's Al Awir Central Prison.
Lee's Release and Instagram Unfollow
Lee was scheduled to be released on Monday after paying a four-figure sum, and has appeared to have unfollowed Katie on Instagram. However, despite recent events, Katie is set on reuniting with Lee as she was seen wheeling a huge pink suitcase through the departures terminal.
Katie's Airport Appearance
Katie, who kept it casual in a grey fitted t-shirt and bright blue leggings, had feared Lee was missing until he called her from a Dubai jail last week. The star was seen still wearing her huge diamond wedding ring as she continued to show her commitment to Lee after they tied the knot in January, less than a week into knowing one another.
Lee's Arrest and Claims
Lee, who claimed he had been arrested on spying charges, made contact with his wife in what she says was a two-minute phone call from inside Dubai's notorious Al Awir jail. However, reports claim he was detained over a private, civil matter and say he was not held over spying charges.
Instagram Account Issues
Last week Katie had lost access to her Instagram account after it was banned, but returned to the social media platform on Monday. The platform temporarily removed her account, but she and her 2.6 million followers have all been reinstated, but with her husband Lee no longer a follower, although his bio still reads 'Hubby to @katieprice.'
The former glamour model's profile was taken down just hours after she claimed she and husband Lee had finally spoken, which added yet more confusion to the saga. Sources later revealed it would be back up soon after a misunderstanding with Meta following complaints concerning nudity and her 'flashing her breasts', as well as the promotion of CBD gummies.
An insider claimed at the time: 'Katie is furious. It's absolutely ridiculous that she's had her account deactivated after spending years building it up and gaining over two and a half million followers. She was previously told it would be back up and running and now they're saying she might have to start from scratch and have a brand new account with zero followers.'
Katie's Podcast Details
In a chat on her podcast The Katie Price Show released on Thursday morning, Katie detailed her two-minute phone call with Lee - after he was thought 'missing' for two weeks - and attempted to explain some of the things that didn't add up from the time he was gone.
Firstly, last week it had been reported that his phone had been 'turned back on' during his disappearance after he 'went dark' amid being detained. He appeared to still be active on social media, and claims at the time suggested that he had been using his mobile phone. A source claimed that one of Lee's phones had been turned back on Sunday morning.
But Katie has now claimed that it is the people who are 'interrogating' Lee in prison who were using his phone. She said: 'I did ask him about the phone situation. He hasn't been on his phone - he's been interrogated and they've been on his phone. So they've been mucking around on his phone - it wasn't Lee.'
She then also spoke about how she'd asked him about rumours that he had followed another woman online during his time missing, saying: 'What happened with the woman was she activated her account and she followed him or he followed her. But then she blocked him. They've never exchanged messages. But I did ask him "apparently you've followed another woman!..."'
