Katie Price's stepfather Paul has broken his silence on her marriage to Lee Andrews, expressing fury and accusing Lee of "pretending to be a multi-millionaire" in an explosive interview for her new Sky documentary, Katie Price: Nothing to Hide.
Paul, who married Katie's mother Amy in 1988 when Katie was 10, said he was "one hundred percent cross" after learning about the whirlwind romance and quick wedding. Katie, 48, married Lee, 43, in Dubai in January after knowing each other for just weeks, following her split from previous partner JJ Slater.
Stepdad's Reaction to the Marriage
In the latest episode of the documentary series, Paul recounted how he discovered the news. "I said, 'What's she going to Dubai for?' Amy said: 'See a bloke.' Then we find out you're getting married. You're off your head," he explained. He also slammed Lee for his public persona: "Then the geezer's in the papers pretending he's a millionaire."
When asked by a producer if he was angry with Katie, Paul replied: "Oh, one hundred percent." The documentary also features other stars including Michelle Heaton, Kerry Katona, and former flame Gareth Gates.
Legal Troubles for Lee Andrews
Meanwhile, Lee is reportedly back in prison in Dubai after being released last month from Al Awir jail, where he served a one-month sentence. His release was conditional on paying outstanding debts, but he now faces alleged fraud charges.
Elsewhere in the episode, Paul expressed concern that he might be responsible for Katie's pattern of failed relationships. "She can never be on her own," he confessed. "She's always got to have a man, and this is when I say to myself, 'Have I done something wrong? Is it the way she's been brought up?'"
Documentary Revelations
Katie admitted surprise at comments made by Gareth Gates in the series, stating: "If I was his girlfriend watching what he said I wouldn't be happy." The documentary continues to explore her life and relationships, with the second episode now airing on Sky.
