Katie Price Rushes To Dubai As Husband Lee Andrews Is Reportedly Set For Release After Three Weeks In Custody
Katie Price has flown to Dubai amid growing tension surrounding her husband Lee Andrews, who is reportedly expected to be released from custody today after three weeks behind bars in the UAE.
The former glamour model, 48, was seen at London Gatwick Airport as she prepared to board a long-haul flight to the Middle East, determined to be there as Lee’s legal ordeal appeared to reach a crucial turning point.
Dressed casually for the journey in a fitted grey T-shirt and blue leggings, Katie looked visibly tense as she moved through the departures area with a large pink suitcase. At one point, she was seen waiting at check-in before browsing airport shops ahead of her flight.
The dramatic dash comes after weeks of uncertainty over Lee’s whereabouts. The 43-year-old had been expected to travel to the UK last month to appear alongside Katie on Good Morning Britain, but concerns were raised when he failed to arrive.
Katie initially feared something far more sinister had happened, reportedly believing he may have been taken against his will. However, it later emerged that Lee was being held at Al Awir prison in Dubai.
According to reports, Lee had been due for release earlier, but the process was delayed as he was required to pay a four-figure fine before being allowed to leave custody.
Katie later revealed on her podcast that she had finally spoken to Lee during a brief two-minute phone call from a prison payphone. In a typically blunt exchange, she said she told him he had become “the most hated man in Britain” as speculation around the case intensified.
Lee’s explanation for his arrest also raised eyebrows after he reportedly claimed he had been detained on suspicion of spying. However, that version of events was later dismissed, with authorities said to have clarified that he was not being held over espionage-related allegations.
Instead, reports suggest the matter was linked to a private civil issue.
The situation has placed fresh strain on Katie’s already turbulent public life. In another twist, Lee appeared to unfollow Katie on Instagram shortly after her account was restored following its sudden removal from the platform.
Katie had been left furious after losing access to her profile, which had amassed around 2.6 million followers. Her account was reportedly taken down while Meta reviewed posts including topless imagery and CBD-related promotions.
After the account returned, fans quickly noticed that Lee was no longer following her — a move that sparked immediate rumours of tension between the couple.
For now, Katie’s focus appears to be firmly on Dubai. After weeks of worry, speculation and public scrutiny, her urgent flight suggests she is determined to face the next chapter of the drama in person.
Whether Lee’s expected release will bring answers, relief, or even more questions remains to be seen.
