Lee Andrews, the husband of Katie Price, has recorded a strange pep talk for newly elected MP Andy Burnham, who could potentially become the next Prime Minister. The video message was commissioned by podcast host Jamie East for £42 on the platform Cameo.
Lee Andrews Relates His Own Struggles
In the clip, Lee, 43, who is currently in Dubai after being released from jail on fraud allegations, addresses Burnham as a fellow Mancunian and encourages him to "go balls out" and "break the internet." He also shares his own anxieties, saying: "I've got a couple of things happening and I've got my wife arriving tomorrow as well. I've got to go and face the music in the UK, so I am bricking it as well, so that's two of us."
Lee Faces Debt Deadline in Dubai
Lee has only days to pay back thousands of pounds to Dubai authorities over backdated payments or risk returning to Al Awir prison. Despite insisting he was held on espionage charges, authorities in Dubai have denied this.
Andy Burnham's Political Earthquake
Burnham's election as MP for Makerfield on Friday, June 19, caused a political earthquake, defeating second-placed Reform by a 20% margin. This prompted Sir Keir Starmer to announce he would step down as Labour leader, with a new leader expected by the end of the summer.
Burnham was sworn in on Monday afternoon, surrounded by Labour MPs. The Cameo message from Lee Andrews adds an unusual twist to his political ascent.
