Katie Price’s Instagram has vanished, hours after she claimed to have found missing husband Lee Andrews in a Dubai jail.
When searching for the former glamour model’s page, an error message pops up saying the ‘profile isn’t available’.
‘The link may be broken or the profile may have been removed,’ the note continues, with fans wondering if she’s deleted it herself.
Yesterday, Katie, 48, finally made contact with Lee, who she said had phoned her from prison to claim he was arrested on suspicion of espionage.
She claimed his dad put the star-crossed lovers in touch, and they had a two-minute phone call, with Lee at Dubai’s Al Awir jail.
Katie explained: ”I have found him. He is alive, and he is OK. I told him how worried I had been and told him I loved him.’
‘It was very rushed but he said the authorities out there thought he was a spy.’
The disappearance has attracted conspiracy theories, including that Lee, who is in his early 40s, has been scamming Katie since they married in January.
His ex-girlfriend, Alana Percival, has been a particularly vocal critic of Lee, claiming he is a ‘vile human’ in her Instagram stories after Katie’s update.
‘Sorry to have come here on a rant,’ she began. ‘Lee being arrested for being a spy… honestly, that man is delusional. Another lie.
‘He needs to either be kept in prison where he belongs or in a mental institution or get help while in prison. If he were an animal, he would be put to sleep.
‘He is a vile human who has a serious mental illness.’
Alana, who Lee proposed to in the same way he proposed to Katie weeks after, went on to brand him a ‘complete fantasist’ who was ‘making a complete fool of himself and Kate’.
‘Like he did me too and all his exes,’ she continued. ‘Time this man got locked away and pay for what he’s putting people through in life, including his family too as much as they probably don’t want to admit it.’
She then listed 56 different types of ‘abuser’ she claimed he was, including serious legal accusations, adding ‘the list could go on’.
Lee has not been heard from publicly in two weeks, with all updates coming through Katie.
He was, however, allegedly spotted online, such as on Facebook and following accounts such as ‘Biker Babe’ on Instagram, despite being missing.
Some have suggested that Katie is actually in on it all, as she seems to be fluctuating dramatically in her feelings on the matter, which she has denied.
The TV personality seemed panicked as she revealed their last conversation, in which Lee claimed he was tied up in a van and being taken to a black site.

However, she was more recently seen mocking her missing husband in videos with Olivia Attwood as well as flogging CBD oil to stay calm amid all the drama.
In a short video posted to Olivia’s Instagram page, Katie turned to the former Love Island star and said: ‘We’re missing something.’
‘Yeah, I have looked for him but…’ Olivia replied with a smile as Katie added: ‘Well mine’s missing, so at the moment it doesn’t look good, does it?’
The Bad Boyfriends host teased they would ‘keep looking I guess’, before Katie finally revealed: ‘We’re missing our husbands’.
While Katie does appear to have deactivated her Instagram, her YouTube page – which includes her podcast with sister Sophie – remains active.
Metro has reached out to Katie’s team for comment.
