Lee Andrews, the husband of Katie Price, is reportedly telling fellow inmates at Dubai's Al-Awir prison that his wife will send him money to fund his life behind bars. Andrews, who married Price in January shortly after meeting her, is currently detained and requires £140,000 for his release.
Despite previously claiming to be a millionaire, Andrews allegedly asked Price to launch a GoFundMe campaign to raise the funds, but she refused, reportedly telling him that 'everyone hates you'. Now, sources claim Andrews is boasting to other prisoners that Price will provide cash for his expenses inside the jail.
Inmates at Al-Awir can purchase snacks and cigarettes using a card system known as a 'punch'. Upon arrival, Andrews had no money on his card. A fellow prisoner told The Sun: 'He was bragging that Katie was going to give him cash, but no one knows if she has or not.' However, the Mirror understands that Price is not sending him any money.
Andrews can earn money by doing laundry, cleaning, or sewing. There is also a black market where inmates buy items on 'punch' and resell them. Despite his claims of a luxurious lifestyle, including a multi-million-pound mansion paid in cash, his prison life is starkly different, though he has access to a gym and television.
Meanwhile, it has been alleged that Andrews' Facebook page, managed by someone claiming to be his business manager, attempted to scam a fan. The fan, David, said he was asked to invest £5,000 and was offered options to transfer money to a personal account or via Western Union. The person claimed Andrews was not in jail, but rather had a 'misunderstanding' with his wife.
