Lee Andrews, the businessman who recently married former glamour model Katie Price, has confirmed he is finally ready to reveal his true self to social media followers. This comes after he opted to share a filter-free post on Instagram, marking a departure from his usual heavily edited content.
Filter-Free Revelation in Dubai
Andrews, who became Price's fourth husband just over a week after meeting her in Dubai, registered their marriage on February 17. The 43-year-old has become known for his relentless use of youth-enhancing Instagram filters, which appear to smooth his complexion and add volume to his thinning hair. However, on Monday, he decided to embrace a more natural look.
Taking to Instagram while seated in a Dubai plaza with his new wife, Andrews revealed his filter-free appearance. He admitted to feeling insecure about his looks but responded to online requests to share content without enhancements. "So, we're trying to beat the system - you asked for one without filters," he said, panning his phone across the bustling square. "Just natural light guys."
Real-Life Perceptions and UK Travel Plans
Andrews also addressed misconceptions about his appearance, stating, "Everyone's different in real life aren't they? Everyone's smaller, bigger, they don't realise. Someone thought I was five foot six, I'm not, I'm six foot one, 93 KG." Curled up next to him, Price added, "You actually look better in life than you do on camera. When we were talking on camera, before we met, and every time you turned your head and I'd see your profile, I'd think phwoar... you have got a very good profile."
He further claimed, "Let's hope people see it in real life. They'll see it when I'm in the UK next week." This promise of a return to Britain comes despite Andrews being marooned in the United Arab Emirates due to an ongoing travel ban.
Dubious Footage and Ex-Girlfriend's Accusations
The travel ban revelation follows weeks after Andrews shared questionable footage of a purported festive trip to Skegness. This prompted his furious ex-girlfriend, Alana Percival, to accuse him of lying. Taking to her TikTok platform, Percival continued a very public war of words by mocking his recent social media posts.
Among the posts was footage of Andrews racing horses along what he claims to be the Skegness coastline. Remarkably, the sun is high and the sky is clear, despite much of England being battered by torrential rain and fierce winds since the turn of the year. Reposting the clip, she carped, "People of Skegness watching this asking where exactly is this tropical upgrade?"
Further Mockery and Serious Allegations
A second video, in which Andrews claims to be freezing while driving in "his mum's car," was also savaged by Percival. She previously accused him of being "physically and mentally abusive" during their relationship. Commenting on the clip, she wrote, "When you put on a wooly hat in an underground car park in Dubai to pretend you're in the UK."
While Andrews has presented himself as a high-flying business mogul, the Daily Mail revealed that he has been banned from leaving Dubai after spending three weeks locked up in a UAE jail for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature. Since then, several of his exes have spoken out, with Percival declaring in an interview that his new wife should "run for the hills."
Scathing Claims from Alana Percival
Percival recently shared a scathing post where she accused Andrews of "taking everything you have until you have nothing left and have to rely on him." In a lengthy message, she also claimed Lee "f****d over his own father many times," and hit back at accusations she is "jealous" of his marriage to Price.
She wrote, "I am concerned because of his patterns and behaviour with women. I was just like Katie, ignored everyone. I WISH I LISTENED. Get your facts right, please tell me what there is to be jealous and bitter about, vile vermin of a human. He is a scumbag that robs poor women for their money."
Percival added, "Escorts himself out. Lies about everything that comes out of his mouth. Cars, house, who he lends money to, pretends to work with royals and every other ambassador in the world... promises with no delivery, always an excuse. F*****d up fantasies (if not what he has already done) (I cannot get into this on here). Mentally and physically hurts people he loves, arrogant, f****d his own father over many of times got him a travel ban too!!"
Background of the Relationship
It's understood that Andrews connected to Percival on Facebook last March and showered her with a Louis Vuitton handbag, Cartier jewellery, and transferred thousands of pounds. He proposed in September, with the set-up identical to Price's engagement at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. The ex-glamour model and mother-of-five shocked fans when she married the so-called businessman following a whirlwind "one-week" romance.
Percival said as soon as she posted a picture of their engagement, she was contacted by his estranged Russian wife Cezara and two other exes, who claimed he was a "liar." Despite their warnings, Percival said she thought their relationships had just ended badly as she "never had someone basically tell me that they love me the way he does."
Katie Price's Response and Pregnancy Claims
Responding to Percival's claims on social media in February, Price called her an "irrelevant little troll." She wrote, "I know rejection doesn't feel nice and I'm married to @wesleeeandrews the man you want and will never have again. Your constant lies and put-downs is clearly showing how bitter you are, go live your life little girl. I know the truth and your now embarrassing yourself, go and have the little respect for yourself that's left."
Price, who claims to be pregnant by Andrews, added, "I know all about you and who you are at least I'm the real woman he has found and deserves, but please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I'm having his child. I'll enjoy the ride and big d**k energy now, I'm in the saddle, he's the most beautiful human I know who never took anything from you. I'm the real feminine woman he deserves, not the male version you are. Now disappear under that bridge you irrelevant little troll."
On Monday, Price continued to maintain her claim by posing with a pregnancy test. Captioning her latest social media post, she wrote, "Hey guys so all the speculation, if you want to know the truth, subscribe and you'll see the answer." Katie is currently in Dubai with Andrews, having initially returned to the UK after their nuptials, where he was due to follow her.
