A Missing Person in the Spotlight
British TV personality Katie Price has made a public statement confirming that her husband, Lee Andrews, is missing as he attempted to cross the border into Oman. This alarming situation has sparked concern and media attention, with updates coming from various sources.
The family of Lee Andrews has reportedly filed a report at the British Embassy in Dubai, where he resides. A source close to Price, 47, has confirmed that Lee is now “officially a missing person.” The news has left Price in a state of distress, as she remains in constant contact with his family and is deeply worried about his safety.
“Lee is officially a missing person now. Katie is in constant contact with his family and is desperately worried,” the source said. “And she’s mortified – she’s seen people calling it a stunt and that she must be in on it, but she’s absolutely not. This is such a worrying, upsetting situation.”
This update follows a previous video shared by Price on YouTube, where she stated that “Lee has been missing for three days.” The situation has taken a dramatic turn, with Price sharing details of their last phone call.
She revealed that the last time she heard from her husband was on Wednesday night at 10 pm local time, as he was trying to cross the border near Hatta in Oman. This area is close to Dubai, where Lee resides. According to Price, he was attempting to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to her.
“He was trying to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to me,” she said, adding the situation was “just discombobulating.” In their final conversation, Lee was wearing a hood and seemed to be in an old van with his hands tied in front of him.
“He sounded really worried and said like whispering, ‘They’re coming for me now. They’re coming for me. I’ve got to go. I’ve got to go.’ And that was it,” Price said.
Price has been in touch with the authorities in Dubai, who she claims told her there is no record of Andrews in prisons or police stations. Despite this, she claims her sister has been receiving emails suggesting that Andrews has been arrested.
“We’re wondering if he’s been kidnapped. He’s definitely a missing person now,” she claimed. She ended her video with the hope that “we find him soon and have some explanations.”
“And if he has been arrested, really has been arrested, even though I’ve been told they can’t find him anywhere, I just want to know it’s all right and he’s all right and what he’s been arrested for,” she said.
Background on the Marriage
Her latest update comes four days after she denied on live TV that her husband had been detained in Dubai during a joint scheduled appearance on Good Morning Britain. During the show, they were discussing how they married just weeks after they met, and one day after they got engaged in January. However, Andrews never made it to the appearance, forcing Price to deny reports he had been detained in the United Arab Emirates.
Following their whirlwind marriage, British media reports suggested that Andrews was banned from leaving Dubai after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a $374,000 loan. GMB presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls said they had contacted the UK Foreign Office and were informed it had “supported a British man detained in the United Arab Emirates.” But at the time, the mother-of-five said the man was not him.
“He’s just sent me pictures, he’s now at the airport, he’s on his way,” she said. Price said he was flying in from Muscat, Oman, after finishing some business. Balls asked Price if Andrews was “unreliable.”
“No, not to me he hasn’t been. Not at all,” she said. She mentioned that after spending time in Dubai, she told Andrews her work and children meant he needed to spend more time in the UK and they planned to live there.
A History of Marriages
Price married Andrews in Dubai in January after knowing each other for just one week, following her split from boyfriend JJ Slater just weeks earlier. The reality star has been married three times before. She was first married to singer Peter Andre, 53, from 2005 to 2009, cage fighter Alex Reid, 50, from 2010 to 2012, and stripper Kieran Hayler, 39, from 2013 to 2021.
