Katie Price Confirms Husband Lee Andrews Found Amid Dubai Detention Drama
Katie Price has confirmed that her husband, Lee Andrews, has been located after two weeks of uncertainty, following his temporary detention in Dubai. The 48-year-old reality star spoke publicly about the emotional phone call she received from Lee, who is currently being held at Al Awir prison .
Katie described the two-minute conversation as “rushed but reassuring,” explaining that Lee told her he had been detained amid suspicion of espionage — claims that were later clarified and denied by authorities. “I told him how worried I was and that I loved him,” she said, expressing relief at hearing his voice for the first time since his disappearance .
The couple, who married in January 2026 just days after meeting in person, had previously faced public scrutiny and concern when Lee was reported missing on 13 May, after allegedly being detained and moved to an undisclosed location. Katie’s father-in-law, Peter Andrews, helped facilitate the call, providing reassurance that Lee was alive and being treated safely .
Despite the initial fears, authorities confirmed that Lee was not arrested on espionage charges but was temporarily held in relation to a civil matter. He is expected to be released shortly, subject to a four-figure fine. Lee’s past public persona has included exaggerations on social media and previous allegations, which contributed to widespread speculation regarding his disappearance.
Katie has stated that she is now stepping back from the search and leaving the matter in the hands of law enforcement, including British authorities, the UK consulate, and Interpol. “I just have to carry on with my life… I’m waiting for a call and focusing on my own mental health,” she said during her podcast, The Katie Price Show .
The highly publicised case has drawn intense media attention, highlighting both the pressures of high-profile relationships and the challenges faced by individuals navigating legal and personal crises abroad. Fans and followers have sent messages of support to Katie, who continues to prioritize her well-being while remaining hopeful for her husband’s safe return.
