Katie Price's new husband, Lee Andrews, has publicly addressed swirling rumours and explained the circumstances surrounding his wife's solo return to the United Kingdom following their recent wedding in Dubai. The businessman, based in Dubai, took to his Instagram story to share a video message aimed at clarifying multiple claims that have emerged since he tied the knot with the former glamour model earlier this week.
Addressing the Escort Allegations
In the wake of their low-key ceremony, where Katie Price notably wore a £12 dress, Andrews has faced a barrage of online criticism and scrutiny regarding his background. Among the most sensational claims is an allegation that he appeared on an escort website, advertising services under the name Noah. One advertisement described him as a "sexy educated professional from the UK" based in Dubai, specifying availability for "service to females only."
Andrews firmly denied these allegations in his recent social media post, stating emphatically, "No I'm not a gigolo." He added with a touch of humour, "I wish, I would have got more money for it – I don't think those are the going rates in Dubai but anyway let's look at it obtusely." This marks a reiteration of his previous denial when confronted by the Mirror about the escort site claims.
Clarifying the Wedding's Legality
Further questions have arisen about whether the couple's marriage is legally binding, especially after Darryl Rees, the part-time DJ and MC who officiated the ceremony, described it as a "symbolic wedding." Rees mentioned that the pair might legalise their union through official paperwork afterwards. In response, Andrews used his Instagram video to assert, "Myself and Katie are legally married," putting to rest doubts about the validity of their nuptials.
Reasons for Katie's Solo Return
Andrews also explained why Katie Price flew back to the UK without him, highlighting her commitment as a mother. He said, "I'm going to be joining Katie in the UK tomorrow, I've had to wrap up a few things here and she had to get back for her children because she's a good mother and she's lovely like that." He emphasised that their separation is temporary, noting, "I'm in Dubai, she is in England and I will be with her tomorrow. So you will see us reunite."
The couple's happiness was a recurring theme in his message, with Andrews declaring, "We are so happy." He also mentioned that their publicists will be releasing further information, hinting at an upcoming exclusive. Regarding their wedding symbols, he joked about their rings being on the correct hand and confirmed that their tattoos remain intact, signing off with, "Love you lots."
This public statement comes amid a flurry of online criticism targeting Andrews, including claims about his authenticity, such as assertions of being a billionaire and faked photos with celebrities like Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian. Despite the controversy, Andrews remains focused on defending his relationship and addressing the allegations head-on through social media.
