Katie Price has released a voice note from her husband Lee Andrews in which he pleads for her trust after failing to board a flight to the UK. The couple, who married in January just two weeks after meeting, were due to appear together on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, but Andrews was unable to travel from Dubai.
In a video posted to her YouTube channel, Price is seen listening to a voice note from Andrews, who says: 'Please can you, all I'm asking you to support me, I know you're worried about things. I don't want you to lose faith in it all because I am definitely following through with everything and I am trying. Love you.' Price captioned the post: 'I'LL WAIT FOREVER FOR YOU!'
The couple's absence sparked speculation that Andrews may have been issued with a travel ban. Susanna Reid, presenting Good Morning Britain, told viewers that the show had contacted the Foreign Office, which confirmed it had 'supported a British man who was detained in the UAE.' However, Price insisted the man was not her husband, claiming Andrews had sent her pictures from the airport and was on his way.
Price said: 'He said "No, it's not me," in a voice note. He's sent me pictures, he's at the airport and on his way. He's coming over to spend quite a few months now, he's sorting out my visa and my international driving license.' She added: 'I know no one believes me, your face says it all, [Susanna]. I can't keep going to Dubai because I've got work and my kids here.'
Andrews has been accused of forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to secure a £200,000 loan, which he strongly denies. Despite his assurances, he did not appear on the show, instead sending a video message thanking the programme for the invitation.
