Lee Andrews, the estranged husband of Katie Price, has reportedly been released from Dubai's Al Awir prison after weeks behind bars. The former glamour model, 48, flew to the UAE last week to secure his freedom but refused to pay the £140,000 bail required. Despite their rocky relationship, Price said she couldn't just 'walk away' from the marriage.
Lee Andrews freed from Dubai prison
According to The Sun, a friend confirmed that 'Lee is out.' The exact reason for his detention remains unclear. Andrews claimed he was held on espionage charges, but Dubai authorities denied this, stating it was a 'private civil matter.'
Price expressed mixed emotions about his release. 'He is coming out, I can't wait to see him, can't wait to have our chats,' she told The Sun. However, she also acknowledged the need for answers. 'I cannot just walk away from my marriage without seeing him again,' she said, despite pressure from friends and fans to end the relationship.
Background of the saga
Andrews vanished two months ago, with Price initially claiming he was kidnapped and tied up in a van. After weeks of silence, his father facilitated a two-minute phone call between the couple. Since then, they have been in regular contact. During these calls, Andrews allegedly bragged about befriending suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan, who is also held at Al Awir. Sources denied this, calling their interactions 'fleeting at most.'
An insider also claimed that Andrews was arrested 'in the middle of an arms deal' near the Abu Dhabi border. Price flew to Dubai last week hoping to see him but was left frustrated, unable to get through. The ordeal has left her needing 'some time to think' about the relationship, which began just days before they married.
Following news of his release, Price posted a promotional reel for a CBD oil, captioning it with 'busy busy few days.'
