Katie Price has confirmed that her missing husband, Lee Andrews, has been located in a Dubai prison. The reality star, 48, spoke to him via a two-minute phone call from Al Awir prison on Wednesday morning, where he claimed he was being held on suspicion of espionage. However, sources indicate the arrest is actually over a 'private civil matter', and he is expected to be released on Monday after paying a four-figure fine.
Andrews disappeared two weeks ago, with his last messages leading Price to believe he had been 'kidnapped'. His father later claimed he was in prison, which Price initially denied. She told The Sun: 'I have found him – he is alive, and he is ok. I told him how worried I had been and told him I loved him. It was very rushed, but he said the authorities out there thought he was a spy.'
On her podcast, Price detailed the interrogation, saying Andrews had been 'hooded' and his phone tampered with. She also revealed she told him he was the 'most hated man in Britain' and that she thought he was dead. She promised a tell-all interview after his release.
Andrews had previously been unable to leave Dubai due to an alleged fraud case involving a £200,000 mortgage taken out in his ex-girlfriend's name. His online persona, which claimed he was a CEO and investor with connections to Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian, was later exposed as AI-generated.
