Katie Price has confronted her husband Lee Andrews over leaked WhatsApp messages that allegedly show him planning to leave her for a younger man, according to reports. The Sun claims to have verified the messages, which were posted online by TikTok account Chaos Corner, by comparing the phone number provided by the anonymous recipient with the one they have for Andrews.
Whirlwind Romance Turns Sour
The relationship, which Price believed was a whirlwind romance, has descended into chaos after Andrews was accused of being a conman and a liar, and has been imprisoned twice. Friends and family have reportedly begged Price to leave him, but she has stood by him until now. The latest allegations suggest Andrews may have been planning his exit strategy.
In the screenshots, Andrews, who was recently released from Al Awir prison, allegedly promised a younger man he would leave his wife. The messages also purportedly show Andrews sending credit card details so the man could buy himself 'something nice'. Homosexuality remains illegal in Dubai, carrying a penalty of up to 10 years in prison, deportation, or the death penalty.
Confrontation and Denial
Price confronted Andrews over the claims during a phone call on Tuesday night, according to The Sun. He 'adamantly rejected them,' the source said. This comes after the couple's dog was left 'abandoned' when Andrews returned to prison, despite reportedly promising to pay for the Pomski to be brought to the UK. The dog, named Dubaii, was later picked up by Andrews' ex Dina at Price's request.
Family Distances Itself
Even Andrews' family have publicly distanced themselves from him, amid fraud accusations. His sister Kelly Andrews and a former school friend broke their silence on social media, admitting they have been stunned by recent developments. 'The Lee we knew was never like this, which makes it even harder for us, as his sister and as a friend, to get our heads around everything that's come to light,' they said. They described the saga as 'incredibly painful' for his family, though his father Peter was jailed alongside him last week.
While Andrews was released earlier this week, reports initially suggested Peter remained behind bars before insiders later claimed he too had been freed. 'Katie is aware that Peter has been let out and has spoken to him,' a source told The Sun. 'She's focusing on her life and job commitments in the UK at the moment and just putting her best foot forward.'
Financial Troubles
In another damning blow, The Sun reports that a brief £300 million partnership Andrews obtained with the UAE Royal Family Offices was terminated after representatives sent in accountants to check his financials. Despite pledging around £10 million, his bank showed only 27 Dirhams. Andrews has not addressed these claims but denies everything else put to him.
Price reportedly has all her ducks in a row, with evidence and screenshots ready should she need them, but has not yet made an official divorce announcement.
