Katie Price's family have confessed they are deeply worried about her marriage to Lee Andrews, with her son Junior calling it "stupid" in a new documentary. The pair shocked fans when they wed in Dubai at the start of the year, mere days after their first encounter.
Family Reactions to the Whirlwind Wedding
In the documentary "Katie Price: Nothing To Hide," the 48-year-old discussed her split from former husband Peter Andre before outlining her romantic requirements. She said: "Someone who can treat me, someone who doesn't have to be in and out my pockets all the time, someone supportive, someone who understands my job, someone who wants to be private, someone who doesn't want to be famous, just know me for me, not about everything else." Moments later, text appeared stating "two weeks later," before she was shown exchanging vows with the businessman.
Junior, whom she shares with Peter, delivered a damning assessment: "This is the most silliest, stupidest thing, marrying a guy she doesn't even know. This is my mum, this is what she does."
Family Members Speak Out
Katie's mother Amy revealed she pleaded with the Celebrity Big Brother champion for explanations, while stepfather Paul Price spoke bluntly: "I said what's she going to Dubai for? 'To see a bloke.' I said what's the catch? And then we find out she's getting married. I said 'you're off your head.' And then the geezer is in the paper pretending to be a millionaire." Asked if he was angry, he added: "100 percent."
Katie and Lee have rarely been absent from the headlines following their wedding in January, with fierce speculation over why the self-proclaimed millionaire had not travelled to the UK to visit his new family. The spotlight intensified when he was expected to appear alongside the I'm A Celeb star on Good Morning Britain in May but failed to show up.
Kidnapping Claims and Prison
In a shocking turn, Katie alleged that Lee had been "kidnapped," before it transpired that he was locked up in Al-Awir prison over a civil case. On their podcast, Katie's sister Sophie made her views clear: "We're not going to argue about this, we're not, it's not worth it. However, I just feel like he's massively mugging you off and he's done it publicly on live TV."
Katie acknowledged their romance had become a "soap opera," adding: "This is why I want relationships a bit more private. But at the end of the day it's between me and him, it's not really anyone else. He hasn't made it to the UK and I've said to him, he needs to make it to the UK because if he doesn't then there's obviously something not right going on. And if he does make it to England it will shut all the rumours up because at the moment everyone thinks he's on a flight ban, this and that. I said it does look weird that you haven't come to England and I've been going to Dubai, he has to come here now."
