Sophie Price, the sister of former glamour model Katie Price, has publicly expressed her exhaustion in the wake of her sibling's sudden and unexpected marriage to Dubai businessman Lee Andrews. In a candid Instagram update shared on Thursday, Sophie sighed deeply before telling her followers, "It has been a long old week. I'm very tired, looking forward to the weekend." This revelation comes amidst a whirlwind of showbiz drama that has left the Price family deeply concerned and reportedly planning an intervention.
A Whirlwind Romance Sparks Family Alarm
The 47-year-old celebrity, Katie Price, sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry when she announced her engagement to Lee Andrews merely days after ending her relationship with 32-year-old reality star JJ Slater. The couple then proceeded to marry almost immediately, with sources indicating that even Katie's closest relatives were completely unaware of the new relationship prior to the nuptials. A source close to the family disclosed to the Daily Mail that they had not spoken to Katie since she walked down the aisle, highlighting the sudden and secretive nature of the event.
Sophie further elaborated on her personal state, mentioning that her children would be out of the house on Friday, allowing her to anticipate some quality time alone with her husband, Harry. "I'm at home doing a bit of tidying, yeah, that's it. I'm off tomorrow, Olive's in nursery and Albert's in school and I cannot wait to have a day on my own. Well, me and Harry. I'm looking forward to having a bit of time out," she explained in her social media clip. This personal respite is sought against a backdrop of growing familial anxiety.
Exes Issue Stark Warnings About New Husband
Concerns within the Price family are compounded by alarming allegations from Lee Andrews' former partners. Two ex-girlfriends have come forward with serious accusations, branding him a "lying swindler" and urging Katie Price to "run for the hills." Alana Percival, a former fiancée, took to Instagram to issue a direct warning, tagging Katie and stating, "Women look after women. I thought it was all a lie too until I had to find out the hard way... you want proof of everything, it's waiting for you..."
Another ex, Crystal Janke, has claimed that Lee defrauded her of £123,000 under the pretence of an investment opportunity. She alleges the money was potentially used to fund lavish gifts for Alana, whom he was reportedly dating concurrently. Crystal commented on Alana's post, writing, "I truly wish I could jump on a plane and fly to you right now just to hug you. Thank you for having the courage to listen when I reached out." The Sun reports that police are aware of these fraud allegations.
Lee Andrews Responds to Allegations and Confusion
In the midst of this controversy, Lee Andrews has utilised Instagram Stories to address various claims and public confusion. He confirmed that he would be flying to the UK to reunite with Katie, explaining that she had returned early to be with her children. "She had to get back for her children because she's a good mother and she's lovely like that," he stated. He also took pains to clarify details about their wedding rings and tattoos, which had been the subject of online speculation.
Regarding the accusations from his exes, Lee told the Daily Mail that he had provided Alana with a "lavish lifestyle" and invested in her business, dismissing her claims. He denied ever meeting Crystal Janke or receiving money from her, despite alleged text messages seen by The Sun suggesting otherwise. Lee also addressed claims about a heart condition, stating, "I have never used this as leverage as a conversation to fake anything."
Family Plans Intervention Amidst Rapid Developments
It is now reported that Katie Price's mother, Amy, and her five children were entirely unaware of the wedding plans. A source revealed to The Sun, "Everyone is worried she's spinning out of control. They haven't even met this man and if she's only known him a week, he could be anyone. Nobody is planning to hold back." The family is reportedly organising a "serious talk" with Katie due to their profound concerns about the relationship's alarming speed and the disturbing allegations surrounding her new husband.
As the situation continues to unfold, Sophie Price's expression of fatigue underscores the emotional toll this rapid series of events has taken on those closest to the celebrity. The combination of a secretive wedding, serious fraud allegations from multiple ex-partners, and a planned family intervention paints a tumultuous picture for Katie Price's new marriage. Representatives for Katie Price have been contacted by the Daily Mail for comment on these developing matters.
