Katie Price’s husband, Lee Andrews, is at the centre of a storm following claims from his ex-fiancée, Alana Percival, who alleges that Lee scammed a woman out of $150,000. The businessman, who shocked fans when he married the 47-year-old former glamour model in a whirlwind romance in Dubai earlier this year, has now found himself embroiled in serious allegations that could damage his public image.
Alana, who had been in a relationship with Lee before his marriage to Katie, took to Instagram to reveal disturbing messages she claims Lee sent to her. In these messages, Lee allegedly admitted to manipulating and “playing” a woman to his advantage. This revelation comes amid a string of accusations against Lee, who is facing scrutiny for his alleged deceitful financial dealings with various women.
Alana Percival’s Claims and Lee’s Alleged Admission
Alana Percival, who has been vocal about her feelings towards Lee and their complicated past, shared a post on Instagram on Tuesday that has since gone viral. In the post, she claimed that Lee sent her a message where he confessed to “playing a woman” in a bid to smooth over their broken romance. The message reads:
“Things I’ve said that are not my character, I used that American to my advantage and played on her feelings. It’s hard for me to admit this now, but that’s the harsh truth. It’s played its part. It shouldn’t have come at the cost of me and you.”
This startling admission came as Alana revealed she was dating Lee at the same time he was romancing another woman, Crystal Janke, from Texas. Crystal had earlier accused Lee of scamming her out of £123,000 by promising her a ‘return of £1 million’ on an investment in his company.
The allegations suggest a pattern of deceit, with Lee allegedly using his charm and promises of wealth to exploit the women around him.
Lee’s Scams and Deceptive Financial Deals
In addition to the claims made by Alana, Lee has been accused of scamming Crystal Janke out of £123,000. Crystal, 40, claims that Lee convinced her to invest this large sum in his company, promising a lucrative return that never materialized. Crystal’s suspicions grew after Lee began planning an engagement with her, only for the situation to unravel when her sister hired a private investigator. The investigator uncovered that Lee was simultaneously dating Alana.
The accusations don’t end there. Alana’s post also touched on another disturbing claim — Lee allegedly scammed another woman out of $150,000, a sum that he reportedly promised to use for investments, only for it to disappear. Alana shared details of a business registered under Lee’s name, Aura Worldwide Holdings, which was dissolved in 2024, further raising questions about the legitimacy of his business dealings.
Lee has denied the accusations on social media, but the mounting evidence and claims from multiple women suggest a troubling pattern of manipulation and deceit.
Lee’s Public Response and Marriage to Katie Price
Lee’s response to the scandal has been somewhat cryptic. On Instagram, he shared an animation with the caption: “One day, the distance will be just a story we tell,” alongside Britney Spears’ hit song “Criminal”. This post seemed to reference his tumultuous personal life and his ongoing struggles with the allegations surrounding him.
Despite the growing controversy, Lee’s marriage to Katie Price, which took place in Dubai in February after just a week of dating, continues to be a focal point of public interest. The marriage, which has been under heavy scrutiny from fans and the media, is now further tainted by the accusations against Lee. However, Katie has stood by her husband, and recent reports suggest she is planning to visit him in Dubai, despite his legal troubles.
Legal Trouble and Travel Ban
Lee’s troubles with the law are not limited to his alleged financial scams. He has also been banned from leaving Dubai after being jailed for three weeks in the UAE for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan. This incident has cast a shadow over his claims of being a “self-made millionaire.” Lee has also made several claims on social media about returning to the UK, but these statements appear contradictory.
Most recently, Lee posted a selfie from what appeared to be an airport, with an airplane emoji and the songs “Airplanes” by B.o.B and “Coming Home” by Diddy playing in the background. This implied that he was preparing to return to the UK, but the timing contradicts Katie’s recent comments about planning an upcoming trip to Dubai. The conflicting statements have left fans questioning Lee’s true intentions and his ability to follow through on his promises.
The Reality of Lee’s Public Persona
Despite presenting himself as a successful businessman with a lavish lifestyle, Lee’s actions suggest a much darker reality. The illusion of wealth and success he has cultivated on social media has been shattered by the allegations against him. His relationship with Katie Price, once seen as a romantic whirlwind, now raises even more questions about his true character.
Katie Price, no stranger to public scrutiny herself, has remained supportive of her husband, but the constant flow of negative headlines surrounding Lee is bound to take a toll on their relationship. Katie, 47, shocked fans with her quick marriage to Lee, and now, with the accusations and legal issues surrounding him, the couple’s future is uncertain.
The Fallout and Public Reactions
The public reaction to Lee’s alleged scams and deceit has been overwhelmingly negative. Fans of Katie Price, as well as the women involved, have expressed outrage over his manipulative behavior. Many are questioning how someone with such a troubled past could have so quickly gained the trust of a high-profile figure like Katie.
Moreover, the ongoing scandals surrounding Lee have cast a shadow over Katie’s own public image. The glamour model and reality TV star has faced her fair share of controversies, but her relationship with Lee has put her under the microscope once again.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Katie and Lee?
As the scandal continues to unfold, the future of Katie and Lee’s relationship remains uncertain. With Lee facing accusations of financial misconduct, manipulation, and legal issues, it’s unclear how long the marriage can withstand the pressure. Katie, who has faced numerous personal and professional challenges in recent years, now finds herself at the centre of yet another media storm.
The accusations against Lee have raised serious concerns about his character and his ability to maintain a stable relationship. For now, it seems that Lee’s past — filled with deceit and manipulation — will continue to haunt him, even as he tries to navigate his high-profile marriage to Katie Price.
Stay tuned as this saga develops, with more details sure to emerge in the coming weeks.
