Katie Price has been left 'distraught' after her husband Lee Andrews failed to appear for their planned joint interview on Good Morning Britain earlier this week, prompting her to reconsider their future together, according to sources close to the former glamour model.
The 47-year-old reality star, who married Lee in Dubai in January after knowing him for just one week, appeared alone on the ITV programme on Tuesday after her husband failed to board a flight to the UK. Lee later posted footage claiming to be at Muscat airport in Oman, but viewers identified the location as Dubai airport, with him pictured before check-in desks, not through security.
'Lee has finally shown his true colours with the ITV interview this week,' a source told us. 'This is the ultimate letdown. She feels incredibly let down and super embarrassed. She's at a really low point.' The source added that Katie, who has removed her wedding ring, is weighing up all options, including a split.
Lee, 43, is reportedly unable to leave Dubai after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to secure a £200,000 loan, which he has strongly denied. He also spent three weeks in jail last year for allegedly obtaining funds by deception. The marriage has caused issues with Katie's children, as she has been in Dubai with Lee for long stretches while the kids remain in the UK.
As a British citizen who married in Dubai, Katie could file for divorce through English courts without returning to Dubai. UK law allows British citizens who married abroad to divorce in England and Wales if they meet residency or domicile requirements, which Katie does. Katie has been married three times before: to singer Peter Andre, cage fighter Alex Reid, and stripper Kieran Hayler.
