The ongoing public feud between Katie Price's new husband and his former partner has escalated dramatically, with Alana Percival delivering a scathing message telling Lee Andrews to "stop obsessing over me" and sarcastically suggesting he's "the only person grateful for the Dubai airspace being closed." The bitter exchange unfolded across Instagram Stories on Tuesday, revealing deepening tensions following Price's whirlwind marriage to the businessman last month.
Dubai Wedding Sparks Social Media War
Former glamour model Katie Price, 47, shocked fans when she married 41-year-old businessman Lee Andrews in Dubai during April following what was described as a "one-week" romance. Since the high-profile relationship became public knowledge, Andrews' ex-fiancée Alana Percival has been vocal about her feelings, posting a series of barbed comments on her Instagram account. She has repeatedly claimed that Andrews is legally prohibited from leaving the United Arab Emirates.
Financial Claims and Counterclaims
The conflict intensified on Tuesday when Lee Andrews posted what he claimed were screenshots of past payments sent to Percival and her father, suggesting he had lent them money. The images appeared to show transfers with captions reading: "The cash continuously sent to Alana from me to her and her father who stole money."
Percival swiftly responded, asserting that the images were edited and denying that Andrews had ever lent her money. She wrote: "I've spent today peacefully by the pool working on some things enjoying my beautiful life and I get back to my phone and my crazy ex fiancé has been posting up edited payments to me saying he has lent me money!"
She continued with a cryptic accusation: "Lee we both know what that money was for and I have the messages (without the edit) to show it as well. I wonder if Katie gets payments for the same?" Percival did not elaborate on what she meant by this reference to payments.
Travel Restrictions and Mockery
In her Instagram Story response, Percival directly addressed Andrews: "Go away and stop obsessing over me, it's not normal, you're a married man, go be married and try and work out the next excuse why you can't travel ANYWHERE. (Lee will be the only person grateful for the Dubai airspace being closed!)"
This comment references ongoing claims that Andrews faces travel restrictions preventing him from leaving Dubai. Since their wedding, Katie Price has returned to the United Kingdom alone on two separate occasions, despite Andrews' repeated assurances that he would join her. Plans for a honeymoon together also reportedly fell through, with the couple remaining in Dubai instead.
Banking Revelations and Wealth Claims
Following his initial posts about payments, Andrews posted a video to clarify another point after his screenshots revealed he used the digital banking service Revolut to allegedly send money to Percival. In the clip, Andrews - who has previously claimed to be both a billionaire and millionaire - stated: "Lot of you are saying 'oh a millionaire's got a Revolut'. Yes I do use Revolut because it has crypto on there. Those that have the same will understand!"
Dubai Legal Troubles Surface
While Andrews has presented himself as a successful business mogul, reports have emerged suggesting significant legal complications. The Daily Mail revealed that Andrews was allegedly banned from leaving Dubai after spending three weeks in a United Arab Emirates jail. He was reportedly detained for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to secure a £200,000 loan.
The publication reported that Andrews allegedly applied for a mortgage in personal trainer Dina Taji's name last year without her consent. When approached by the Daily Mail about claims he couldn't leave Dubai, Andrews reportedly responded that it was "complete b******s."
Geographical Discrepancies and Mockery
Percival has also mocked Andrews' recent social media posts, including footage he shared of himself racing horses along what he claimed was the Skegness coastline. Remarkably, the video showed bright sunshine and clear skies despite much of England experiencing torrential rain and fierce winds since the beginning of the year.
Reposting the clip, Percival commented: "People of Skegness watching this asking where exactly is this tropical upgrade?" She similarly criticized a second video in which Andrews claimed to be freezing while driving in "his mum's car," writing: "When you put on a woolly hat in an underground car park in Dubai to pretend you're in the UK."
Previous Accusations and Responses
This recent exchange follows weeks of public acrimony between the parties. Just a few weeks earlier, Percival shared another scathing post accusing Andrews of "conning his own father" and "taking everything you have until you have nothing left and have to rely on him."
Katie Price responded directly to Percival's claims on social media, writing: "@larnaapercival I know rejection doesn't feel nice and I'm married to @wesleeeandrews the man you want and will never have again. Your constant lies and put-downs is clearly showing how bitter you are, go live your life little girl."
Price continued: "I know the truth and you're now embarrassing yourself, go and have the little respect for yourself that's left. I know all about you and who you are at least I'm the real woman he has found and deserves, but please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I'm having his child."
She concluded with: "I'll enjoy the ride and big d**k energy now, I'm in the saddle, he's the most beautiful human I know who never took anything from you. I'm the real feminine woman he deserves, not the male version you are. Now disappear under that bridge you irrelevant little troll."
Continued Exchanges
Percival fired back at Price that same week, sharing a graphic of a middle finger on Instagram with the caption: "Imagine spending your honeymoon with me on your mind. Get better soon."
Despite the ongoing public feud and travel restriction claims, both Lee Andrews and Katie Price maintain that they are very much in love. They have stated that Andrews will be coming to the United Kingdom soon to have a larger wedding ceremony with family and friends present.
The social media battle shows no signs of abating, with all parties continuing to air their grievances publicly while the newlyweds navigate the complications arising from Andrews' reported legal situation in Dubai and his contentious history with former partners.
