Katie Price's Husband Lee Andrews Still Hasn't Settled Luxury Dubai Wedding Bill
Lee Andrews, the husband of former glamour model Katie Price, has reportedly failed to pay the bill for their wedding at a high-end Dubai hotel nearly two months after the ceremony. The couple, who shocked fans with a whirlwind romance, tied the knot in late January at the luxurious One&Only Royal Mirage hotel, but the venue is still awaiting payment for services rendered.
Whirlwind Romance and Wedding Details
Katie Price, 47, and Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews, 41, announced their engagement less than a week after meeting and married just days later in Dubai. Their initial ceremony, held in the hotel's gardens with no family or friends present, was not legally binding, but they have since conducted two other legal ceremonies to formalize their union. Despite this, the financial obligations from their first wedding remain unresolved.
Outstanding Fees and Hotel Frustration
Sources indicate that Lee Andrews promised to return to the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel to settle outstanding costs, believed to run into thousands of pounds, but has yet to do so. Staff at the hotel, where rooms can cost around £2,000 per night, are reportedly frustrated by the unpaid bill. A source told The Daily Mail, "Lee Andrews has not yet paid the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel where he and Katie Price got married. He promised to settle the outstanding bills but still hasn't, and it's been over six weeks."
Contradictory Claims and Lack of Proof
When approached about the unpaid bills, Lee Andrews insisted, "It was fully paid. It was an SMS on my HSBC locally. I will ping it to you so you can see it." However, days later, he failed to provide any proof of payment. This incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding Andrews, including allegations from his ex-partners and reports of financial struggles.
Background of Legal and Financial Issues
Lee Andrews has faced multiple accusations regarding his behavior and business dealings. Notably, he was previously unable to leave the United Arab Emirates after spending three weeks in jail for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to obtain a £200,000 loan in her name. Additionally, his ex, Alana Percival, has warned others not to trust him, claiming he has attempted to scam multiple women.
Recent Allegations and Denials
Recent reports from The Sun allege that Lee Andrews sent voice notes to an unnamed American woman in January, begging for thousands of pounds just days before proposing to Katie Price. In the messages, he reportedly said, "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." The woman claims he became abusive when she refused. Andrews has since posted a warning to his followers about "fake accounts sending fake voice notes," though it is unclear if this relates to The Sun's accusations.
As the scandal unfolds, representatives for Katie Price, Lee Andrews, and the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel have been contacted for comment, but no official statements have been released. The situation highlights ongoing concerns about Andrews' financial stability and credibility, casting a shadow over his marriage to Katie Price.
