Katie Price is ready to get her ‘twenty thousandth’ boob job amid the stress of her husband Lee Andrews’ ongoing disappearance.
Since their whirlwind marriage in January, the 48-year-old glamour model has been through the wringer with her husband, Dubai-based Lee.
Her new beau has been accused of being a conman and scammer who is unable to leave Dubai due to a travel ban. Since May, his whereabouts have been the subject of mass public speculation when he first went missing.
He eventually re-appeared after a stint in prison – which he falsely claimed was due to espionage – and he and his reality star wife had an emotional reunion. But it didn’t last long, and he was shipped back to jail once more.
Although there were reports at the end of July that he had been released, his radio silence tells another story. During his freedom, he couldn’t stay off social media, constantly posting on Instagram, making cameos and promising tell-all interviews after tell-all interviews.
All this ended on July 9, however, and we’ve heard neither hide nor hair from him since, nor has the mum-of-five offered any updates. After removing her wedding ring, she recently put it back on again, implying he’s still in the picture.
Naturally, however, the stress of having an essentially missing husband seems to have taken its toll.
In a recent episode of her daughter’s ITV reality series, Princess Diaries, when asked by the 19-year-old if she was going to get her ‘twenty thousandth’ boob job, she confirmed she had an appointment for September, as one is ‘a bit smaller’ than the other.
Meanwhile, appearing on Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, the prolific plastic surgery user shared: ‘I’ve realised there’s a reason why I do it all. And it is to do with men.
‘I’ve always said I haven’t got body dysmorphia, because I didn’t think I did. But I realise I do.’
It seems as though old habits are creeping in once more, with a source telling The Mirror that she’s having work done because Lee has left her ‘all over the place’.
The insider continued: ‘When Katie’s stressed and doesn’t know what to do with a guy, and her confidence is low, she goes for surgery. And she’s all over the place with Lee – she knows the world hates him and her family don’t like him.’
In the same conversation on Olivia’s show, she speculated that she must have had somewhere between 30 and 40 surgeries up to this point in her life, adding she could have spent up to £40,000 in total.
So far it’s understood she’s had 17 breast augmentations, multiple facelifts and a fox eye operation.
Although Katie has barely spoken about Lee’s current status in recent weeks, she has addressed various accusations as she continues to come to his defence.
Everything Lee Andrews has been accused of since marrying Katie Price
Misleading claims of being a multi-millionaire business owner
When Katie introduced Lee as her new partner, he presented himself as the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an investor in ‘SpaceX Hybrid Fitness’.
His social media, which boasted more than 100,000 followers, was filled with photos of luxury cars, lavish Dubai lifestyles and apparent encounters with celebrities including Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian.
But the image quickly began to unravel. There appeared to be little evidence of his businesses operating as described, while several of the celebrity photos were later alleged to have been created using AI.
Being banned from leaving Dubai
After meeting and marrying her new husband in Dubai, it came time for Katie to fly home to the UK – however her husband was unable to join her.
This was due to the fact that he’d allegedly served time in Dubai’s Al Awir central prison for suspected fraud, for allegedly taking out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-girlfriend’s name without her knowledge.
The UAW bans people facing criminal investigations from leaving the country, however Lee denied he was unable to return to the UK and said there must be some ‘wrong details’.
However, Katie later confirmed he was subjected to a ban, but didn’t clarify why.
Being jailed – and reportedly arrested again – in Dubai
Shortly after Katie returned to the UK, Lee remained in Dubai while dealing with financial issues.
Last month, it was reported he had spent four weeks in Dubai’s Al Awir prison over outstanding debts before being released.
On July 11, he was arrested again after allegedly attempting to raise around £120,000 he believed he owed.
According to The Sun, Lee sent a message to a friend saying: ‘They’ve arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out. We need to make a noise with a Go Fund Me.’
A spokesperson for Lahbab Police Station told the newspaper they had no record of Andrews being there, while Katie’s representative declined to comment.
Teasing a fake pregnancy
Just a few weeks into their relationship, both Katie and Lee teased they were expecting a baby. After Katie declared she was ‘having his child’ Lee wrote they were a ‘perfect couple soon to be triple’.
At one point, the mum of five even urged her followers to pay £2.99 to find out the results of a pregnancy test.
Despite the attempts to generate publicity, she then confirmed she was not pregnant.
Scamming a string of women
Days after Katie and Lee tied the knot, two of his exes accused him of being a ‘liar, narcissist and manipulator’.
Months later, it was then reported he’d been begging women for money weeks before he married Katie.
His ex Alana, then shared a post on Instagram calling him the ‘Tinder Swindler’ and claimed multiple women had contacted her saying he’d tried to scam them out of money too.
She later went on a podcast to share more details of her relationship with Lee, claiming ‘I genuinely thought that potentially he could have killed me.’
Faking a kidnapping
After Lee failed to return to the UK, Katie revealed she had concerns he’d been kidnapped and then reported him as a missing person.
He was later found to be in prison in Dubai. Following his release, he returned to social media with an extraordinary account of events, claiming he he had been ‘kidnapped at gunpoint’, ‘slapped around’ and falsely accused of espionage.
Dubai authorities have disputed suggestions he was detained over spying allegations, previously describing the matter as a private civil dispute.
Court documents later revealed two outstanding legal cases against Lee, including an alleged £54,000 debt linked to a rental car company and a separate claim for approximately £15,000 in unpaid legal fees.
Last month it was reported that Lee Andrews attempted to flog an alleged sex tape of him and Katie for £250k before backtracking and claiming it was a ‘joke’.
Katie has doubled down on this in a recent podcast.
‘He said it as a joke, in a voice note to someone, and I sent it to my sister because the email came through to us. I said: “Look Soph, he’s said it as a joke.”
‘I said: “I haven’t even done a sex tape and then it’s come out.”‘
On the same podcast, recorded on July 27, she said that she ‘thinks he comes out [of prison]’ on that day, although it’s unclear if that actually happened.
