Fresh Scam Allegations Emerge Against Katie Price's Husband Lee Andrews
Lee Andrews, the husband of former glamour model Katie Price, is confronting renewed and serious allegations of scamming women, with his ex-fiancée now claiming that several individuals have recently approached her with strikingly similar stories of financial deception. These latest accusations compound existing controversies surrounding Andrews, who married Price in a surprise Dubai ceremony just days after their initial meeting in January.
Ex-Fiancée Alana Percival Speaks Out on Social Media
Alana Percival, who was previously engaged to Andrews, took to Instagram over the weekend to share explosive new claims. In a post visible to her 13,200 followers, Percival stated that four different women had contacted her within just two weeks, providing voice recordings and details alleging Andrews attempted to scam them. She specifically referenced one instance where Andrews allegedly begged a woman for £3,000 in January.
"He actually is another Tinder swindler, soooo embarrassing. But one that is stuck in Dubai on a travel ban," Percival wrote in her social media update. She also claimed to have received what she described as a "degrading and intimidating" video message from both Andrews and Katie Price via WhatsApp.
Pattern of Allegations and Denials
This is not the first time Andrews has faced such accusations. Since his whirlwind marriage to Katie Price became public, multiple former partners have come forward with claims of financial misconduct. Andrews has consistently denied all allegations, maintaining his innocence against what he describes as false claims.
The reference to "Tinder Swindler" draws direct comparison to Simon Leviev, the subject of a popular Netflix documentary who allegedly used dating apps to meet women, promise them luxurious lifestyles, and then request substantial sums of money. Percival's allegations suggest a similar pattern of behavior.
Background of Legal and Professional Scrutiny
Andrews' background has come under increasing scrutiny amid these allegations:
- He was previously jailed in Dubai for begging for money, according to sources familiar with the matter
- His ex-partners had warned Katie Price about his behavior before their marriage
- He is reportedly subject to a travel ban in Dubai following his time in custody
- Andrews has branded claims about his inability to leave Dubai as "complete nonsense"
Questions About Professional Claims
Further investigation has raised doubts about Andrews' professional background and affiliations:
- Labour Party Connection: Andrews claims on his LinkedIn profile to be a Member of the Board of Advisors for the Labour Party since May 2015. However, a Labour source confirmed to the Mirror that "We don't have a 'Board of Advisors' and this individual doesn't work with us."
- The King's Trust Role: Andrews also lists himself as Director of Philanthropy at The King's Trust (formerly The Prince's Trust) since April 2018. The Trust has confirmed they have no record of Andrews or Weslee Andrews holding any such position, and no volunteers with that title.
Despite these discrepancies, Andrews continues to assert that he is worth millions through his business ventures and maintains his various professional claims.
Katie Price's Response and Ongoing Situation
Katie Price, who shocked fans with her rapid engagement and marriage to Andrews, has previously defended her husband against allegations that he is not a millionaire. The couple's relationship continues under the spotlight as these new allegations emerge from multiple sources.
The Mirror has approached Lee Andrews for comment on these latest claims, but no response has been received at the time of publication. The situation remains developing as more women reportedly come forward with similar stories about Andrews' alleged behavior.
