Lee Andrews’ ex, Alana Percival, has questioned whether Lee Andrews and Katie Price are really married after his arrest.
It’s been less than five months since the former glamour model and Lee tied the knot in a whirlwind Dubai romance.
Just one week after her split from JJ Slater (remember him?), Katie, 48, announced she was engaged to a mystery new man.
Within days, the pair had tribute tattoos inked on their bodies and were saying their vows to make their love legally binding – or did they?
Alana, who Lee proposed to in the exact same way shortly before he met Katie, has now questioned if that marriage was ‘real’.
She wrote on Instagram stories: ‘If Katie and Lee’s marriage was real, she would be able to find out a lot more and be allowed to speak to the police to find out what is going on and visit and call.’
Katie has claimed she’s struggled to contact her husband after he ‘went missing’ last month, claiming to have been tied up in a van and taken to a ‘black site’.
He’s since said he’s locked up in Dubai’s Al Awir jail, where he reportedly spent three months in last year for suspected fraud, having forged an ex-girlfriend’s signature to take out a £200,000 mortgage in her name.
Alana continued: ‘For the three weeks that he was in there when I was with him, he was able to call me 2/3 times a day!!!’
The same can’t be said for Katie, who has barely spoken to her husband since he failed to fly to the UK for their joint Good Morning Britain interview last month.
After a supposed ‘manhunt’, Lee’s dad put the spouses in touch, and they had a two-minute phone call, during which Lee said he was being held on suspicion of espionage.
Authorities have since confirmed to The Sun that he was not detained over spying charges but instead in relation to a private civil matter.
In another post, Alana questioned the jail situation, sharing that Al Awir is ‘usually’ for criminal cases or detention matters rather than a ‘purely civil dispute’.

‘From previous experience with Lee and being moved so Al Awir means one thing, that it is criminal cases,’ she wrote.
‘I have made moves my end to make sure that my cases have been fully handed over.’
She suggested he should be ‘locked up for good’, having previously alleged a huge list of ‘abuses’ that she claimed Lee had engaged in.
Meanwhile, Katie has flown over after claims that Lee was set to be released, with a four-figure fine reportedly needing to be paid.
The TV personality was spotted with a huge pink suitcase at Gatwick Airport, heading off to Dubai once again (Lee has still not set foot in the UK since their January wedding).
Bizarrely, amid all the prison drama, Lee found the time for an Instagram clear out where he unfollowed everyone – including his wife.
He is now following her once again, and bygones appear to be bygones as Katie makes the seven-hour trek to see her estranged husband, possibly as he’s released from jail.
