The mystery of Lee Andrews’ disappearance continues to deepen, after it was reported this weekend that he had been arrested in Dubai, a claim that Katie Price refuted.
On Saturday, it was spotted on Instagram that Andrews had followed a woman on Instagram called Marisol, a self-professed ‘biker babe’.
The reason this was significant is because before, he was only following one person – his wife, Price.
Andrews’ following list on Instagram is now back down to one person, but according to a new report, this is due to Marisol blocking him on the social media platform.
On Instagram, Marisol describes herself as a ‘Biker Babe, a ‘Navy Veteran’, and a ‘Travel & Adventure Seeker’.
She reportedly told The Sun that she and Andrews had never spoken, and she had previously been unaware of his background before blocking him.
Everything Lee Andrews has been accused of since marrying Katie Price
Misleading claims of being a multi-millionaire business owner
When Katie named Lee as her new partner, he was selling himself as 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 – also appearing to rub shoulders with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian.
However, it was all later exposed as a farce – with no information about his company on its website, and his snaps with celebrities appearing to also be AI-generated.
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.
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’.
Two 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.
‘Ghosting’ his wife
After Lee failed to return to the UK last week, Katie revealed she had concerns he’d been kidnapped and then reported him as a missing person.
However, it was then reported that Lee had actually ‘ghosted’ his wife and was ‘squatting in a slightly run-down villa’ in Dubai and using a burner phone.
The publication reported he was ‘frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in’.
Yesterday, it was reported that Price, 48, was ‘furious’ about Andrews following Marisol, with a source telling The Sun: ‘She was panic-stricken last week when Lee told her he was being kidnapped. She thought it was genuine. Now it’s all unravelling.’
They continued: ‘She was so worried and does hold out some hope he is going to reappear. Now she’s seen him following this woman; to say she was angry and confused is an understatement.’
Last week, a missing person’s report was officially filed for Andrews.
Price claimed that during a FaceTime call with him, she had seen him ‘tied up’ in an ‘old van’.
A source close to the model said that she is in ‘constant contact with his family and is desperately worried’.
They added: ‘And she’s mortified — she’s seen people calling it a stunt and that she must be in on it, but she’s absolutely not. This is such a worrying, upsetting situation.’
On Saturday, it was reported that after it was believed he had gone missing, Andrews had been arrested and was being held in a Dubai prison.
His father, Peter, said that his son was ‘OK’, telling the Daily Mail: ‘He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest. I don’t know on what charge. I’m not sure where he is being held. But he will call me later today. He is not at my house.’
A police source also told the publication: ‘Lee Andrews has been arrested.’
However, later on, Price wrote on her Instagram Story: ‘This is fake newes Lee is still missing and his family know whats going on and working with the authorities involved [sic].’
