Lee Andrews has been released from prison in Dubai after his second incarceration in recent weeks, according to reports. The so-called millionaire businessman was arrested 10 days ago and taken to Lahab police station in the desert, where he was allegedly trying to raise £120,000 to pay off a fine. He had even reportedly suggested selling a sex tape featuring himself and wife Katie Price for a 'pretty penny', which she later denied existed.
Release from Al Awir Prison
After a brief period in Dubai's Al Awir prison, Andrews is now free. 'Lee Andrews has today been released from Al Awir prison,' a source told The Sun. 'He was set free this afternoon following a short stint behind bars.' However, his father, Peter, whom he met while in jail, remains incarcerated. 'His dad Pete, who has been caught up in Lee's misdemeanours, remains behind bars,' the source added. Peter Andrews was allegedly arrested on his own fraud charges after being reported by a third party.
Plans to Return to UK
Despite a travel ban, Andrews hopes to fly to the UK to be with his wife, whom he married in January after just days of knowing her. He has not yet met her family or children. However, Katie Price is reportedly 'at the end of her tether' with her fourth husband's legal troubles. 'Whether poor Katie will be there to greet him on the other side remains to be seen,' the insider said. 'Right now, she is furious with it all and fed up with all the drama and white noise her husband is bringing.'
Previous Legal Issues
Andrews first served jail time last autumn after allegedly taking out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-girlfriend's name without her knowledge. This led to a travel ban, which he repeatedly denied until Price confirmed its existence, though she did not disclose the conditions. In May, Andrews vanished and ghosted his wife, leaving her to fear he had been kidnapped. She contacted UAE authorities and publicly pleaded for his safe return. Weeks later, it emerged he was in jail, with court documents revealing two outstanding legal cases: an alleged £54,000 debt to a rental car company and a separate claim for approximately £15,000 in unpaid legal fees.
Denials and Allegations
While ex-partners have accused Andrews of scamming them and labeled him a 'love-bomber' and 'narcissist', he has consistently denied any wrongdoing or criminal activity. He maintains that his May 2026 arrest was on spying charges, claiming he was 'abducted' and 'held at gunpoint' before being taken to a 'black site'. Representatives for Katie Price have been contacted for comment.
