Katie Price's husband, Lee Andrews, has reportedly been arrested again in Dubai, just weeks after being released from prison. According to The Sun, the 42-year-old businessman was taken to Lahbab Police Station on Friday while attempting to raise approximately £120,000 that he believed he owed. This arrest comes barely a month after he spent four weeks in Dubai's Al Awir prison over separate financial matters.
Details of the Arrest
A friend told The Sun that Andrews sent a message saying: 'They've arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out. We need to make a noise with a Go Fund Me.' Price, 48, is reportedly back in the UK with her eldest son, Harvey, awaiting news of her husband's expected release. A source indicated that Andrews had become increasingly stressed in the days before the arrest as he tried to raise money to settle what he believed he owed.
Previous Legal Issues
This latest development follows reports that Andrews had previously been detained over outstanding debts accumulated while living in the UAE. Among the claims reported by The Sun were an alleged unpaid luxury hire car bill dating back to 2022, reportedly worth around £54,000, alongside an alleged £15,000 debt to a UAE law firm. At the time, Andrews' legal issues were said to stem from unpaid debts rather than new criminal allegations.
Background of Allegations
Since marrying Katie Price, Andrews has faced multiple accusations. He initially presented himself as a multi-millionaire business owner and CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027, claiming to be an 'investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness.' His social media profile, which had 111,000 followers, featured photos with celebrities like Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian, but these were later exposed as AI-generated. He was also banned from leaving Dubai due to an alleged fraud case involving a £200,000 mortgage taken out in his ex-girlfriend's name. Additionally, he teased a fake pregnancy with Price, and multiple exes accused him of being a 'liar, narcissist and manipulator,' with one calling him the 'Tinder Swindler.'
Price's Recent Documentary
The reports come at what appeared to be a positive moment for Price professionally. Her new Sky documentary, Katie Price: Nothing To Hide, premiered this week, showcasing her life, finances, and relationships. Throughout the series, Price insists she wanted to show the truth rather than a polished version of events. The documentary also explores her whirlwind romance with Andrews, whom she married in January, with Price describing him as bringing stability into her life.
