Katie Price has issued a stark warning to her husband Lee Andrews following his release from a notorious Dubai prison, making it clear that their reunion will not be all smiles. The former glamour model, 48, spoke to her fourth husband via FaceTime shortly after he was freed from Al Awir prison, and her message was direct: 'I'm excited – but trust me, I have questions.'
Lee Andrews Released After Month-Long Ordeal
Lee Andrews, who had been missing for almost a month, was finally released from custody. He appeared healthy and happy in a FaceTime call with Katie, sporting a baseball cap and a deep tan. However, Katie's warning suggests that a serious conversation awaits him.
Katie's Concerns and the Fine
Katie revealed her conversation to The Sun, noting that she did not pay a penny of the £140,000 fine required for his release. A source close to the couple said: 'He called Kate straight away and she was thrilled – not least because she didn't pay a penny of the £140,000 fine to get him out. Of course she has heard the discourse surrounding him, and she's not stupid. She knows the optics aren't great if she stays with this man. But as any woman who has been love-bombed knows, it's hard to leave when you're being treated so well.'
Background of the Imprisonment
Self-professed millionaire Lee had been locked up in Dubai's notorious prison on suspicion of fraud, despite his claims that he was arrested for spying. Katie had previously feared he was kidnapped when she couldn't contact him. She also moved to assure fans that the situation was not a PR stunt, stating: 'This is real, this is real life; this is my life. It has been a tough few weeks, don't get me wrong. But I've still stayed strong through it all, and I have a smile on my face.' Katie, who shares two children with Peter Andre, added: 'So, in this situation, I'm doing what I want to do, and I'm out here in Dubai, because I'm here to help Lee. Some people might not like my choices, but I'm not living for everyone else.'
Ex-Partner's Criticism
When Lee first went missing, his ex-partner Alana Percival criticized him on Instagram, writing: 'Has he faked his own kidnapping? I would if I was him knowing that I'm about to open some doors! In my eye all just one big joke he is just playing his sick games.' She added: 'Thank you all so so much for such amazing lovely messages I know to start a lot of people thought I was being bitter or fame hungry but now I think you can all start to see what this awful man is all about. See why I wanted to protect Katie from the things that he has put not just me but exes through in the past.'
Despite the controversy, Katie remains committed to her husband, and a showdown is expected in the coming days when she visits him in Dubai.
