Everything Lee Andrews has been accused of as Katie Price’s husband becomes ‘a wanted man’

Just four months after their whirlwind marriage, Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has ‘ghosted’ her.

In late January, the former glamour model, 47, announced she’d married the Dubai-based businessman, 41, just a week after they’d met.

However, soon after reports emerged that his business Aura Group was a farce, while some of his exes publicly urged Katie to ‘run for the hills’ and claimed he was a ‘lying swindler who preys on women’.

A few months on, their warnings appear to have come to fruition after it emerged a few days ago that Lee was ‘missing’. However, a bombshell report published last night has now claimed that although he’s not contacted his wife in over a week, he is ‘squatting in a slightly run-down villa’ and using a burner phone.

Meanwhile, he’s also reportedly wanted by Interpol after Herts police escalated an investigation involving claims from one of his exes.

As the drama rages on, here’s everything we know about Katie and Lee’s relationship – and everything he’s been accused of.

Exes urge Katie to ‘run for the hills’

In January, Katie shocked not only the world but her own family after announcing her ninth engagement to a man she’d met a few days prior.

After being married to Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler, she said that Lee had ‘swept her off her feet’.

However, it then emerged that just four months prior Lee had proposed to his ex, Alana Percival, in the exact same way he’d done for Katie. Soon after she also spoke out and told Katie to ‘run for the hills’.

Along with another woman – Crystal Janke, who Lee dated at the same time last year, the pair said he’d hoodwinked them.

‘Lee is a liar, a narcissist and I think he’s a manipulator. Once I tried to leave him, he told me had a heart condition and was living on borrowed time. Lee doesn’t know what’s fact and what’s fiction. It’s worrying because I think he believes his own lies,’ Alana claimed.

Successful business claims ‘a farce’

When Katie announced her engagement to Lee, many rushed to find out more about the man who she said had captured her heart.

At the time his Instagram listed him as being the CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027 and an ‘investor in SpaceX Hybrid Fitness.’

His profile, which had 111k followers, was littered with photos of the entrepreneur in the gym and enjoying the high life in Dubai.

There were also snaps of him standing next to what appears to be a flying car with Elon Musk and apparent evidence of him rubbing shoulders with the likes of Kim Kardashian, whom he snapped signing a baseball cap emblazoned with his company’s logo.

But it was also soon reported to be a farce – with no information about his company on its website, and his snaps with celebrities appearing to also be AI-generated.

Alongside his businesses, he also claimed to be the director of philanthropy at the King’s Trust, however the charity denied this claims.

Lee had also listed himself as a member of the Board of Advisors to the Labour Party, however they confirmed he ‘doesn’t work with us’.

Lee ‘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, with the Daily Mail reporting Lee had forged an ex-girlfriend’s signature to take out a £200,000 mortgage in her name.

The United Arab Emirates 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’.

Dubai law, those pending criminal investigations, including unpaid debts or civil lawsuits, cannot leave the country.

Initially claiming he was staying in Dubai to ‘house hunt’, Katie later confirmed Lee did in fact have a travel ban on her podcast, but didn’t specify why.

Family ‘fallout’ over whirlwind marriage

When Katie first announced her marriage, she was said to have left her loved ones ‘blindsided’ by the news.

Her daughter Princess, 18, was said to be ‘horrified’ by it all, however Katie later said she had no plans to introduce her husband to her children.

Saying they ‘need stability’, she said she would delay a meeting ‘even if it took a year’.

Princess and her brother Junior, 20, later told The Sun they were ‘shell-shocked’ by the ‘weird’ news and said their mum’s marriage was ‘impulsive on another level’.

Strangely, Lee also later got a tattoo dedicated to Katie’s son Harvey, 23, despite the fact they’ve not met.

Meanwhile, her sister Sophie told Katie the marriage had been ‘traumatising’ for the family, while her best friend Kerry Katona called her ‘bonkers’.

Couple tease fake pregnancy

Just four weeks into their relationship, the couple dropped hints they were expecting a baby, with Katie posting on social media: ‘Please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I’m having his child. I’ll enjoy the ride and big d**k energy now I’m in the saddle.’

Meanwhile Lee wrote in a post that 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.

More women come forward with ‘scamming’ claims

In March, The Sun reported that Lee had been begging women for money just weeks before he married Katie.

‘If you can help me or send Western Union £3000, that would help me so much. I could just do with a big hug, really,’ he reportedly said.

‘You don’t know how desperate it’s been, the last couple of months of me trying to survive.’

The woman claims that when she refused to send him any money, he swore at her and branded her a timewaster.

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.

GMB interview goes awry

Last week Katie and Lee had been due to appear on Good Morning Britain together for their first live interview – but he never turned up.

Instead host Ed Balls revealed that the UK Foreign Office had said the following after being asked if Lee was indeed subject to a travel ban: ‘We supported a British man who was detained in the United Arab Emirates’.

Katie denied that her husband had been ‘arrested’ and claimed he ‘just didn’t make the flight’. ‘He’s coming over here to spend quite a few months now, so he’s been sorting out my visa, my international driving license and he was flying from Muscat.’

She then claimed he ‘had things to do’ and ‘missed the flight, cause obviously all his business stuff is there.’ Meanwhile Lee said he was ‘not detained’ and wasn’t a ‘wanted man’.

Lee becomes a ‘missing person’

Days after Lee failed to come to the UK, Katie issued a plea on social media after claiming her husband was ‘missing’.

‘Lee has been missing for three days. The last time I heard from Lee was Wednesday night at 10 o’clock,’ she said in a YouTube video.

‘He was trying to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to me… and this is so, so discombobulating… His location went off at 10:03 Wednesday night; that’s the last contact anyone’s had, his family and myself.’

Katie went on to say she and Lee’s family had contacted police, adding she was concerned he might have been ‘kidnapped’. ‘No one can find him in any prison, police station, any record of it,’ she said.

However overnight The Sun reported that Lee had actually ‘ghosted’ his wife and was ‘squatting in a slightly run-down villa’ in Dubai.

The publication reported he was ‘frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in’.

Lee, who has lived in Dubai for 21 years, has repeatedly boasted about his so-called entrepreneurial successes, however, there has been very little evidence to back his claims up.

He previously insisted that he earns between $2-5m (£1.5-3.7m) annually from the US stock market, among other ventures, funding his lifestyle. However several lies on his CV have been exposed since then, as well as the claims from women saying he scammed them.
