Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has reportedly been named as the lead defendant in a new Dubai court battle.
The 43-year-old was released from the Al Awir Central Prison after being detained due to fraud allegations.
It came after former glamour model Katie, 48, refused to cough up £140,000 in bail money after flying to the UAE to secure her husband’s freedom.
Now, however, a report has suggested that Lee, who claims to be a millionaire businessman, is also at the centre of a high-stakes property dispute.
Court documents reportedly show that he is the first-named defendant among three in the case, brought before the Dubai Court by claimant Alexander Keya, according to The Sun.
The documents are also said to show that an accounting expert has been instructed to carry out a financial examination of the situation.
It is believed that the court ordered the review on July 15 2025, with a remote judicial meeting scheduled later that month.
The allegations remain the subject of ongoing proceedings according to the publication and there has not yet been a final judgement.
Yesterday, it was revealed that Lee’s claims of adopting Katie and Peter Andre’s kids have been branded ‘complete lies’.
The Australian pop star, 53, shares daughter Princess, 18, and son Junior, 21, with Katie.
However, in a cameo video obtained by The Sun, Lee responded to a fan who requested a Father’s Day wish for her dad.
He said: ‘I haven’t got children, but we’re trying. I’ve adopted five of them. I love my wife, and I love her children.’

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 Sun claimed he was ‘frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in’.
A source told Metro: ‘It is categorically untrue and yet another lie.
‘They haven’t even met him.’
After disappearing from public view last month, Lee was found to be in prison in Dubai.
Following his release, he then returned to social media and claimed 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 and previously described 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.
