Katie Price is willing to take desperate new measures to find her missing husband Lee Andrews, including launching an international manhunt. It has been almost two weeks since the 48-year-old reality star last heard from her husband, shortly after he failed to arrive in the UK for a live interview on Good Morning Britain.
Following frantic texts claiming he had been kidnapped in Dubai, where he is based, his family filed a missing persons report and have been working with authorities. Questions about his whereabouts have arisen amid reports that he may be on the run, hunted by Interpol, or already in jail. Meanwhile, his ex-partner Alana Percival has accused him of dubious behavior online.
Despite Katie's earlier declaration that she would step back and let the police handle the situation, she has continued to post about her elusive partner and defend him against accusations. A source revealed that on Friday, police asked her to appear on television to officially appeal for information. The insider told The Sun: 'It all feels very surreal and like something from an ITV primetime drama.'
The former glamour model is reportedly reluctant to do an onscreen appeal if Lee is truly on the run and ghosting her, but she is ready to launch an international manhunt if necessary. She is even desperate to fly to Dubai herself but fears being detained. 'Even for Kate, this has been the weirdest two weeks of her life. She simply cannot get her head around what is going on,' the source concluded.
Lee Andrews' Alleged History
Katie married the self-proclaimed businessman after a 10-day whirlwind romance in January and has defended him against months of accusations that he is a conman lying about his credentials.
Misleading Claims of Wealth
When Katie named Lee as her partner, he portrayed himself as CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness. His social media profile featured photos with celebrities like Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian, but these were later exposed as AI-generated.
Banned from Leaving Dubai
After marrying in Dubai, Lee was unable to join Katie in the UK due to an alleged ban linked to fraud accusations. He reportedly served time in Al-Awir central prison for taking out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-girlfriend's name. Lee denied the ban, but Katie later confirmed it.
Fake Pregnancy Tease
Weeks into their relationship, both teased a pregnancy. Katie urged followers to pay £2.99 for pregnancy test results, but later confirmed she was not pregnant.
Scamming Allegations
After their marriage, two exes accused Lee of being a liar and manipulator. His ex Alana called him the 'Tinder Swindler' and claimed multiple women had been scammed.
Ghosting His Wife
After Lee failed to return to the UK, Katie reported him missing. Reports then suggested he had ghosted her and was squatting in a run-down villa in Dubai using a burner phone. Alana also accused him of fabricating a trip to London, sharing videos that she said were fake.
