Katie Price's Husband Faces Financial Scandal Amid Whirlwind Romance
Lee Andrews, the new husband of former glamour model Katie Price, has been embroiled in controversy following allegations that he begged a woman for thousands of pounds just days before proposing to Price. The couple announced their engagement on Instagram on January 23, 2026, after a rapid online romance that saw Price fly to Dubai to meet the businessman.
Voice Notes Reveal Desperate Pleas for Money
According to reports from The Sun, voice notes sent in January 2026 capture Andrews asking an unnamed American woman for £3,000 through Western Union. In the recordings, Andrews reportedly stated, "If you can help me or send Western Union 3000, that would help me so much. I could just do with a big hug, really." He added, "You don't know how desperate it's been, the last couple of months of me trying to survive."
The woman claims that when she refused to send money, Andrews responded with anger, swearing at her and calling her a time-waster. He allegedly explained that he was struggling financially while waiting for payments to clear and was surviving on 20p packets of rice at the time.
Andrews Denies Allegations Through Social Media
In response to the accusations, Lee Andrews has taken to Instagram to warn his followers about "fake accounts sending fake voice notes." It remains unclear whether this statement directly addresses The Sun's claims. The controversy has cast a shadow over what was portrayed as a fairy-tale romance between Price and Andrews.
Ex-Partner Alana Percival Adds to Accusations
Alana Percival, Andrews' ex-partner, has publicly denounced him, claiming he should not be trusted. In Instagram posts, Percival wrote, "Another woman sending me voices on how he tried to scam her... 4 people in 2 weeks reached out to me sending me all sorts of voice recordings." She described Andrews as a "self claimed multimillionaire or billionaire" who was "begging women around the world for £3000" in January.
Percival further alleged that Andrews and Price sent her "intimidating videos" on WhatsApp. In an interview with The Daily Mail, she stated, "He is a toxic, horrible, disgusting, vile creature who lied to me from the moment we met. I literally hate his guts. He's nothing but a sad, lonely man who lies about everything. I never saw any proof about his money; I never saw any cars or houses."
Background of the Relationship
Katie Price and Lee Andrews' relationship began online in 2025, quickly escalating to an engagement in Dubai. The speed of their romance raised concerns among Price's friends, family, and fans, with some fearing the relationship was moving too fast. Since their marriage, Andrews has faced multiple accusations regarding his behavior and business dealings.
Andrews denies all allegations made against him. Metro has reached out to both Andrews and Price for comment on the ongoing scandal. The situation continues to develop as more details emerge about the financial and personal controversies surrounding the couple.
