Katie Price’s new husband, Lee Andrews, has been hit with a significant setback following reports of his alleged involvement in a fraud scandal. Lee, 41, who married the former glamour model in a whirlwind ceremony in Dubai after just one week of knowing each other, has been reportedly banned from leaving the UAE due to ongoing legal issues.
A Shocking Past Revealed
In the latest twist to their controversial romance, new details have emerged about Lee’s past, which has raised eyebrows among Katie’s fans and the media. According to reports from The Daily Mail, Lee was previously incarcerated in Dubai’s Al-Awir prison after being accused of fraud. The allegations state that he forged an ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a £200,000 mortgage in her name.
His ex, Dina Taji, a personal trainer, reportedly only discovered the fraud when the bank contacted her to verify some details. After learning of the crime, Dina took legal action, which eventually led to Lee being imprisoned. Sources close to the case confirm that Lee was subsequently hit with a travel ban due to unresolved civil lawsuits related to the fraud.
In an interview, Dina expressed her disbelief upon finding out about the fraud, explaining, “I had no idea he was doing this behind my back. It was shocking to learn the extent of his actions.” After legal action was taken, Lee’s future in Dubai became uncertain, especially after authorities placed a travel restriction on him.
A Reeling Family
Despite these troubling revelations, Katie Price has remained publicly supportive of her new husband. However, some sources close to the couple believe she may be unaware of the full extent of his past. “Katie was aware of his complicated history but never imagined it would resurface like this,” said an insider.
Lee himself has denied the reports, claiming in a series of voice notes to The Daily Mail that the details are exaggerated. He stated that he has substantial funds in his UAE bank accounts, implying that any claims of financial trouble are inaccurate. “I have a good amount of equity, so I don’t understand why this is happening,” Lee said.
Lee’s Legal Troubles and Jail Time
Lee’s past seems to be clouded by legal disputes and unverified claims. In addition to the fraud case, there are reports that Lee served three weeks in prison in late 2025. One of his former cellmates revealed that Lee allegedly borrowed money from fellow inmates during his time in prison, promising to repay them upon his release. Lee, who now claims to be a “multi-millionaire,” reportedly borrowed funds from his ex-wife to meet the minimum requirement for release.
Reports suggest that, upon his release, Lee was still entangled in multiple unresolved civil cases. “It was only after three weeks in prison that Lee was told he had more legal matters to settle before being allowed to leave the country,” a source shared.
Claims of a ‘Scam’ and Dubious Connections
Adding to the controversy surrounding Lee, some of his ex-girlfriends have come forward with accusations. Alana Percival, one of Lee’s recent partners, claimed that he manipulated her and took advantage of her financially. She went on to call him a “manipulator” and a “narcissist,” warning Katie Price to be cautious. Alana even took to Instagram to advise Katie to “run for the hills” and claimed that Lee had misled her during their relationship.
Additionally, Crystal Janke, another of Lee’s exes, accused him of scamming her out of £123,000 by promising high returns on a supposed investment. According to Crystal, Lee promised a £1 million return but ultimately left her with significant losses.
Katie’s Public Support
Despite these shocking claims, Katie Price has continued to publicly defend Lee. She has referred to him as her “Richard Gere” and insisted that their marriage is meant to be, describing it as “fate.” Katie expressed her love for Lee in a statement, saying that their relationship is the best version of herself, one that she feels will only grow stronger.
“I’m so happy with my person,” she said, adding that her bond with Lee is the most fulfilling relationship she’s ever had. This is Katie’s fourth marriage, following her previous unions with Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler.
Lee’s Reputation and Social Media Presence
Lee’s past has also come under scrutiny due to his social media presence. He has been accused of editing his photos to portray a more polished image. In particular, some fans have pointed out that Lee’s Instagram posts appear to be altered, leading to further questions about his authenticity.
Additionally, Lee has made claims of being a board member for the Labour Party and a founder of the Royalton hotel chain’s Blue Diamond Resorts. However, these claims have been denied by both the Labour Party and the hotel chain, further raising suspicions about his credibility.
A Rocky Start to Married Life
Lee’s marriage to Katie Price has been marred by controversy, with the couple’s whirlwind romance and his complicated legal past leaving many questioning his motives. Despite all the drama surrounding their relationship, Katie seems determined to stay by her husband’s side. But with reports of unpaid debts, ongoing legal issues, and multiple accusations against Lee, it remains to be seen whether their marriage will withstand the pressure.
As Lee faces a travel ban and continues to battle his legal troubles, Katie Price may have to navigate their future together without him by her side, at least for the time being.
In the meantime, the couple’s fans and critics alike continue to watch closely, awaiting the next chapter in their tumultuous love story.
