Katie Price's Candid Podcast Confession on Love and Marriage
Katie Price made a notable return to her joint podcast, The Katie Price Show, with her sister Sophie on Thursday. During the episode, the former glamour model, aged 47, openly admitted that her one major relationship red flag is someone who declares "I love you" too early in a romance. This revelation comes just months after she shocked fans by marrying Lee Andrews, a so-called businessman, after only 10 days of knowing him.
Family Tensions and Whirlwind Romance
On the podcast, Sophie, aged 36, read out a listener question about red flags, specifically mentioning "someone who says love ya after the first date." Katie humorously responded, "Oh, get lost," before adding with a sigh, "Says me who got married after two.. three weeks." Sophie chided her sister, calling her an "idiot," before swiftly moving the conversation to their next segment, Spill The Tea.
Elsewhere in the episode, Katie disclosed that her mother, Amy, broke down in tears while hospitalized over Katie's rapid marriage to Lee. Katie described visiting her mother in the hospital, giving her a hug, and witnessing her emotional reaction. Sophie confirmed that their mother was back in the hospital for an infection treatment, adding that Katie's actions had "traumatised us all." Katie acknowledged this but defended her choices, stating, "Oh I traumatise f**king everyone but listen..."
Background of the Controversial Marriage
Katie Price famously got engaged to Lee Andrews, aged 41, after just 10 days in January, announcing it to her children via a family WhatsApp group. She revealed her engagement to the world through social media, but her husband has been unable to leave Dubai, where he resides, and her family has yet to meet him. Despite concerns from loved ones, including accusations from his ex-partners and false claims about his finances and celebrity links, Katie remains convinced that Lee is genuine.
Sophie expressed strong disapproval, telling Katie that her decision had "traumatised us all" and caused a "s*** start to the year." They admitted that a previous podcast recording attempt ended in a fallout, with Katie hanging up on her sister. Katie's family, including her children, have been blindsided by the nuptials, with reports suggesting they are "anxious this is a potential scam."
Katie's Defense and Family Dynamics
In response to her family's worries, Katie dismissed their concerns, insisting she is not a child and that "my life isn't normal," so they need to "let me be me." She acknowledged their feelings in a recent interview, saying, "Of course, my family are going to worry... They love me, and I love them too. But I'm not a kid any more, I am 47, I can make my own choices, and I will."
Sophie has hinted at her disapproval publicly, sharing a video of British fields with the caption, "This and never stepping foot in Dubai," after the wedding news. She also reposted a clip discussing family support in difficult times, ending with, "I'm not going to try and change you. I just hope you come to your senses at some point."
Katie's eldest children, Princess and Junior, stated on This Morning last month that they are "happy as long as she's happy," though they have not met Lee yet. Katie explained that she and Lee connected after he appeared as a suggested follow on Instagram, leading to messages up to five hours daily before meeting in Dubai.
Additional Context and Health Updates
Katie's mother, Amy, underwent a lung transplant for terminal idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2022. Since then, her mobility has decreased, and she experiences "up and down days," with recent hospitalization for an infection. Katie shared that during the visit, her mother cried but did not give her a "b****king," as Harvey was also present.
In other news, Katie recently visited her local dentist for teeth whitening, sharing the results on Snapchat. This comes amid ongoing family drama and public scrutiny over her personal life.
