Controversial influencer Carla Bellucci has pleaded with Katie Price to 'run' from her husband Lee Andrews after the truth about his disappearance emerged. Carla, who gained notoriety in 2019 for feigning depression to obtain a free NHS nose job, urged the former glamour model to stop 'chasing fairy tales' with her whirlwind romance.
Price, 48, married Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews earlier this year after a 48-hour engagement and having known him for less than a week. The quiet ceremony followed an elaborate proposal featuring rose petals and a hot tub. However, one of Andrews' former girlfriends, influencer Alana Percival, later claimed he made an 'identical' proposal to her months earlier.
Andrews disappeared in mid-May, prompting Price to launch a two-week international manhunt using her celebrity status. On Wednesday, Price revealed that Andrews was being held in a Dubai prison on espionage charges, a claim that has been disputed. Other reports suggest he was detained over a 'private civil matter' and required to pay a four-figure fine. Authorities told The Sun that he has not been charged with spying.
Carla Bellucci's Advice
Addressing the situation, Carla Bellucci said: 'My advice to Katie is to run. She's an intelligent woman and she needs to run the hell away from him. It's turned into a circus. I love her to bits but, woman to woman, she needs to ask herself, why has he been arrested? Does he need money or something?'
Bellucci added: 'I think she genuinely did fall in love but she got caught up in it. She's so strong in some ways but when it comes to love she isn't. She's so inspiring but she seems very weak when it comes to men. I'd hate to see her come down even more than she has. I've got nothing but love for her but Jesus.'
Commenting on Price's decision to marry Andrews after just a week, Bellucci said: 'I think that's stupid, especially at our age. I'm 45, she's 48. She needs to learn to love herself but it looks like she loves the romance and is always chasing fairy tales. It's easy for me to say because I'm happily married.'
Lee Andrews' Background
When Price began seeing Andrews, he presented himself as the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an 'investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness.' His social media profile, with 111,000 followers, featured photos of him working out and enjoying the high life in Dubai, including apparent encounters with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian. However, it was later exposed as a farce: his company's website had no information, and the photos appeared to be AI-generated.
Andrews is currently unable to leave the UAE due to being jailed on suspicion of fraud. He allegedly took out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-girlfriend's name without her knowledge. The UAE prohibits individuals facing criminal investigations from leaving the country. Andrews has denied being unable to return to the UK, claiming there must be 'wrong details,' but Price later confirmed he is subject to a travel ban, though she did not clarify the reason.
