Katie Price rejects arrest reports as Lee Andrews disappearance deepens

Katie Price has blasted claims that her husband Lee Andrews has been arrested.

The 48-year-old reality star has branded the reports “fake news” as confusion deepens over his mysterious disappearance in the UAE.

She recently raised the alarm after filing a missing person report with authorities in Dubai, claiming Lee failed to board a flight back to the UK just weeks after their whirlwind January wedding. 

She also said Lee had told her he was “kidnapped”, sparking serious concern.

But over the weekend, his father Peter Andrews told the Daily Mail a very different story, insisting his son was safe and in police custody.

“Lee is OK,” Peter said. 

“He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest. I don’t know on what charge. I’m not sure where he is being held. But he will call me later today.”

A police insider also claimed, “Lee Andrews has been arrested.”

However, the model quickly pushed back online, insisting the situation is not so clear-cut.

 She fumed on social media, “This is fake news. Lee is still missing. Me and his family know what’s going on and [are] working with the authorities involved.”

The Katie Price Show host had previously admitted she was stepping back from the situation for her own mental wellbeing, saying she no longer knew “what’s true, what’s not true”.

Things took another twist when she shared alleged WhatsApp messages from Lee, in which he appeared to claim both that he had been arrested and later contradicted himself, saying he was being detained at a “black site”.

Meanwhile, Dubai CID sources reportedly say no arrest has been recorded under Lee Andrews’ name, leaving the situation cloudier than ever.
