Katie Price made a solitary return to the United Kingdom on Thursday, arriving without her recently wedded husband, businessman Lee Andrews. The 47-year-old celebrity was met by two staff members who assisted with her luggage before she entered a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce Cullinan, valued at approximately £300,000 and featuring a personalised HR 7 number plate.
Family Concerns and Solo Arrival
Price's family members are reportedly anxious about her new marriage to Andrews, whom she engaged to last month before swiftly marrying and formally registering the union on February 17. Despite Andrews' repeated assertions that he would accompany Price to the UK this week, he was conspicuously absent upon her arrival.
Dressed in a grey crop top and tracksuit bottoms, Price appeared contemplative as she touched down on British soil. Her return marks the second instance she has come home alone since the wedding, with Andrews failing to join her on both occasions as previously promised.
Dubai Controversies and Travel Restrictions
Andrews has faced persistent allegations that he is subject to a flight ban preventing his departure from Dubai, where the couple has been residing. His ex-partner, Alana Percival, has publicly claimed that he is legally bound to remain in the United Arab Emirates.
These claims gained credibility when the Daily Mail revealed that Andrews had previously spent three weeks in a UAE jail for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to secure a £200,000 loan. The publication reported he is banned from leaving Dubai following this incident, though Andrews has dismissed these allegations as "complete b******s" in statements to the Mail.
Social Media Discrepancies and Mockery
Percival has openly mocked Andrews' social media posts, including footage where he claims to be racing horses along the Skegness coastline. She questioned the authenticity of these videos, noting the clear skies and bright sun contrasted sharply with England's recent torrential rain and fierce winds.
In another post, Andrews wore a woolly hat while claiming to be freezing in "his mum's car," which Percival suggested was actually filmed in an underground Dubai car park. These discrepancies have fueled speculation about his actual whereabouts and freedom of movement.
Future Plans and Family Dynamics
Despite the controversies, Price and Andrews maintain they are deeply in love and plan to host a larger wedding celebration in the UK with family and friends once Andrews is able to travel. Price's five children have yet to meet their mother's new husband, though her eldest children, Princess and Junior, expressed support for their mother's happiness during a recent appearance on This Morning.
"Our mum is her own person, she's her own woman, she's going to do what she's going to do and at the end of the day, we're supportive of her as long as she's happy," Junior stated, with Princess adding, "If she's happy, we're happy."
Immediate Engagements and Performances
Andrews has publicly stated that both he and Price would attend Love Island star Lucinda Strafford's party on Friday, where Price is scheduled to perform vocally. Andrews has enthusiastically praised her singing abilities, suggesting she deserves "an Oscar" for her talents.
The couple had discussed taking a honeymoon together but remained in Dubai instead. Andrews previously claimed he returned to his Lincolnshire hometown for Christmas, though the validity of this statement has been questioned given the ongoing travel restriction allegations.
