Katie Price's family have made a desperate plea for her to end her marriage to missing husband Lee Andrews, describing her attachment as a 'dangerous obsession.' Despite the former glamour model telling fans she is taking a step back for her own sanity, insiders reveal she is refusing to give up on the self-proclaimed multi-millionaire, who was recently at the centre of a bizarre kidnap scenario.
Family Concerns Over Katie's Refusal to Let Go
According to a source close to Katie, her family are urging her to remove her wedding ring and end the marriage, but she remains steadfast. 'No one can get through to her and make her see sense. She tells them, I will never stop loving Lee, and gets very defensive about him,' the source said. The situation has escalated since Lee failed to appear for a scheduled joint interview on Good Morning Britain earlier this month, leaving Katie humiliated.
Katie's Desperate Search for Lee
Katie, who turned 48 last Friday, has been unable to contact Lee, 43, for over a week. She issued a desperate plea on social media, asking fans in Dubai to look out for him. On her YouTube channel, she revealed her distress: 'If there is anyone in Dubai or you know anyone in Dubai and you spot him, see him… I just don't know where he is, cos the last thing I know his hands were tied, he had a hood over his head… and he was in the back of a van.'
She added that she had reported him as a missing person to the British Embassy and Dubai authorities. 'My anxiety levels are sky high, I just don't know what to say,' she said. The disappearance comes after a newspaper alleged Lee conned one of their journalists into investing £1,000 in a money-making scheme.
Doubts Over Lee's Credibility
Doubt has been cast on Lee's credibility after multiple claims about his life and businesses were debunked. Dubai authorities reportedly told Katie that no one by Lee's name has been detained. On her podcast, Katie's sister Sophie expressed exasperation, saying, 'I just feel like he's massively mugging you off and he's done it publicly on live TV.'
Despite the mounting evidence, Katie refuses to believe Lee is playing her for a fool. 'People are telling her, Cant you see somethings not right? Its so obvious, but he is very charismatic, charming and says all the right things to Katie,' the source said. 'He makes Katie believe him. Even though in her heart she knows it's not adding up, she can't help but be in love with him and can't face the truth.'
Katie's Determination Amid Online Abuse
Katie has faced online abuse, including suggestions she is involved in Lee's disappearance. She insisted, 'This is not a publicity stunt. This is real. Anybody who thinks I am a part of this is disgusting.' Despite the distress, she remains hopeful. 'If they find Lee, I'll cross that bridge when it happens. Onwards and upwards,' she said.
