Olivia Attwood has disclosed that she privately cautioned Katie Price about her husband Lee Andrews well before his series of scandals emerged, admitting she told her friend he gave her 'bad vibes'. The former Love Island star did not hold back as she addressed the latest controversy surrounding Price's husband on her podcast, Olivia's House, where she condemned Andrews following his public attacks on Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally.
Attwood's Blunt Assessment of Andrews
'Lee Andrews has been coming for Vogue Williams and my sweet angel Joanne McNally. What the hell?' Olivia said. 'Lee Andrews needs to just absolutely get in the bin.' The ITV favourite then revealed her criticism was not new, explaining she had already shared her concerns directly with Katie. 'Katie's a friend of mine. Like, no one can make me hate Kate,' she said. 'But this guy, I said it to her face when I saw her the other month. He's bad vibes.'
Whirlwind Romance and Unraveling Image
This is one of the strongest indications yet that those close to Price had reservations about her whirlwind romance, which culminated in the pair marrying during a private ceremony in Dubai in January. At the time, Andrews presented himself as a wealthy businessman, but his carefully crafted image has since unravelled amid mounting controversy. In recent months he has faced allegations from former partners, been accused of exaggerating his business credentials and, according to reports, has twice been detained in Dubai.
The latest chapter in the saga came after Andrews reportedly lashed out at podcast duo Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally online, prompting Olivia to leap to their defence. Her comments also come just weeks after she and Katie jokingly referenced Andrews' disappearance while recording Price's own podcast. At the time, Katie claimed she believed her husband had been kidnapped after losing contact with him, before it later emerged he had reportedly been detained in Dubai's Al Awir prison.
Joking About Missing Husbands
During the episode, Katie quipped: 'We're missing something.' Olivia replied with perfect comic timing: 'Yeah, I have looked for him but…' Katie then added: 'Well mine's missing, so at the moment it doesn't look good, does it?' 'No, we'll keep looking I guess,' Olivia responded, before Katie turned to the camera and joked: 'We're missing our husbands.'
Andrews' Alleged Misdeeds
Lee Andrews has faced a series of allegations since marrying Katie Price. He made misleading claims of being a multi-millionaire business owner, presenting himself as the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an investor in 'SpaceX Hybrid Fitness'. His social media, boasting more than 100,000 followers, was filled with photos of luxury cars and lavish Dubai lifestyles, but several of the celebrity photos were later alleged to have been created using AI.
After marrying in Dubai, Katie returned to the UK alone as Andrews was reportedly banned from leaving the country due to an alleged fraud case. He is said to have served time in Dubai's Al Awir central prison for suspected fraud, reportedly for taking out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-girlfriend's name without her knowledge. The UAE bans people facing criminal investigations from leaving the country, though Lee denied he was unable to return and said there must be some 'wrong details'. Katie later confirmed he was subjected to a ban but did not clarify why.
Last month, it was reported he had spent four weeks in Dubai's Al Awir prison over outstanding debts before being released. On July 11, he was arrested again after allegedly attempting to raise around £120,000 he believed he owed. According to The Sun, Lee sent a message to a friend saying: 'They've arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out. We need to make a noise with a Go Fund Me.' A spokesperson for Lahbab Police Station told the newspaper they had no record of Andrews being there, while Katie's representative declined to comment.
Just a few weeks into their relationship, both Katie and Lee teased they were expecting a baby. After Katie declared she was 'having his child', Lee wrote they were a 'perfect couple soon to be triple'. At one point, the mum of five even urged her followers to pay £2.99 to find out the results of a pregnancy test. Despite the attempts to generate publicity, she then confirmed she was not pregnant.
Days after Katie and Lee tied the knot, two of his exes accused him of being a 'liar, narcissist and manipulator'. Months later, it was reported he'd been begging women for money weeks before he married Katie. His ex Alana shared a post on Instagram calling him the 'Tinder Swindler' and claimed multiple women had contacted her saying he'd tried to scam them out of money too. She later went on a podcast to share more details, claiming 'I genuinely thought that potentially he could have killed me.'
After Lee failed to return to the UK, Katie revealed she had concerns he'd been kidnapped and reported him as a missing person. He was later found to be in prison in Dubai. Following his release, he returned to social media with an extraordinary account, claiming he had been 'kidnapped at gunpoint', 'slapped around' and falsely accused of espionage. Dubai authorities have disputed suggestions he was detained over spying allegations, describing the matter as a private civil dispute. Court documents later revealed two outstanding legal cases against Lee, including an alleged £54,000 debt linked to a rental car company and a separate claim for approximately £15,000 in unpaid legal fees.
The pair later shared a photograph recreating the moment, posing with shocked expressions and their hands over their mouths. It's a joke that has aged rather awkwardly. Since then, Andrews' legal troubles have continued to dominate headlines, with reports claiming he has twice been jailed in Dubai. He has also faced repeated accusations from former girlfriends, including wellbeing coach Alana Percival, who has publicly branded him a 'liar' and 'conman' and recently shared a string of old videos and messages she claimed were sent by him.
Price's Support and Attwood's Warning
Through it all, Katie has remained publicly supportive of her husband, insisting she believes he will return to the UK once his legal issues are resolved. Olivia, however, has now made it clear she was never convinced. While stressing that her friendship with Katie remains unchanged, her blunt assessment of Andrews suggests she spotted warning signs long before the headlines caught up. As more people from Price's inner circle begin speaking out, Andrews is finding himself with increasingly few defenders—and one more celebrity openly questioning whether Katie should have trusted him in the first place.
