Lee Andrews’ ex-girlfriend, Alana Percival, has shared another of his text messages in which he once again claimed to be in the UK despite reports of a travel ban.
Katie Price’s husband has been enveloped in controversy in recent weeks after he failed to fly over to the UK to join her for a live TV interview on Good Morning Britain.
Price, 48, then announced her fears that he had been kidnapped after losing contact with him for several days. In another bizarre twist, his father then claimed the businessman had been arrested in Dubai.
As the mystery around Andrews’ disappearance continues to grow, his former fiancée, Alana, has exposed several of the alleged fabrications he told her during their relationship.
In her latest Instagram post on Sunday, Alana shared a video that she had received from Andrews in December 2025. It shows him ice skating at a rink that he claimed was in the UK, although his face is concealed with a disposable mask.
Alana wrote in the caption: ‘There’s something deeply strange about a person fabricating ordinary moments to appear believable.
‘Christmas he told me he was with his mum, after also ignoring my birthday… he was apparently having quality time with family, ice skating as the videos he sent me with nieces in the UK…all while being on a flight ban and while his own mother and sister publicly confirmed to The Sun last week that they haven’t seen him in six years and that he hasn’t been back to the UK since they went to Dubai 6 years ago.’
She continued: ‘The irony is almost intelligent if it wasn’t so embarrassing. Even the face mask in the rink video feels symbolic m [sic], committed to a version of reality that expired years ago. At some point, lying on this level stops being manipulation and starts looking like an actual psychological issue. Some people don’t just lie, they curate entire fictional lives and expect confidence to outweigh facts.’
Many of Alana’s followers said they were confident the ice skating rink that Andrews claimed was in the UK was actually in a Dubai shopping mall.
Beccajc commented: ‘100% Dubai mall, used to take my daughter there loads.’ She was backed up by Essentially Julia, who also said: ‘Yep it is. We used to live there. I’ve got pics of my daughter there.’
Alana has been vocal against her ex, Andrews, since he met and married Price in January.
His relationship with the former glamour model has fallen under immense scrutiny, with him accused of scamming multiple women and reportedly landing a travel ban prohibiting him from leaving Dubai, where he lives.
After a police report was filed declaring Andrews, who is in his early 40s, missing, Price claimed she last spoke to him in a FaceTime call where he said he was ‘tied up’ in a van. He then declared ominously: ‘They are coming back for me.’
His father, Peter, told the Daily Mail over the weekend that his son was actually in police custody in Dubai, although he wasn’t sure of the charges.
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’.
However, suspicion has arisen over Andrews’ whereabouts once again, after he allegedly sent a friend request to a woman on Instagram. His phone was also switched back on, with messages going through for the first time in days.
Despite Andrews’ father coming out to announce his arrest, Price insisted this was not the case.
‘This is fake newes Lee is still missing and his family know whats going on and working with the authorities involved [sic],’ she wrote on her Instagram stories on Sunday.
