Katie Price and Lee Andrews‘s whirlwind marriage has taken yet another dramatic turn, as it’s revealed that Lee has left a huge bill unpaid after their lavish wedding at the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel in Dubai. The luxury hotel where the couple exchanged vows in January is said to be still waiting for payment—with reports claiming that Lee promised to return and settle the outstanding costs but has yet to do so. 💸
The couple’s fairytale wedding came after a whirlwind romance, with the two getting engaged just seven days after meeting. They tied the knot just two days after announcing their engagement, which took place at another luxurious Dubai hotel, the Burj Al Arab. But six weeks after the wedding, sources say the hotel bill—believed to run into thousands of pounds, including £2,000-a-night rooms—has not been settled, frustrating staff at the hotel.
One insider told the Daily Mail: “Lee Andrews has not yet paid the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel where he and Katie Price got married. He promised to settle the outstanding bills but still hasn’t, and it’s been over six weeks.” 😡
A Whirlwind Romance
Katie and Lee’s romance has been fast-paced, leaving many of their friends and family members in shock. The couple met and became engaged in the space of just two weeks before their extravagant wedding at the One&Only Royal Mirage. During the ceremony, Katie wore a cutout white dress, and they exchanged vows surrounded by red rose petals in the hotel’s beautiful gardens. Guests were treated to champagne and sweet moments as they celebrated the couple’s rapidly blossoming love. 💖
But just six weeks after their wedding, Katie and Lee’s relationship has hit a bump. It’s not the first time Lee’s financial credibility has been questioned. Katie’s family has raised concerns over Lee’s past, including his alleged fraud charges and his claims of multimillion-pound wealth, which have been contradicted by sources.
Lee’s Past and Legal Woes
In the months leading up to their marriage, Lee was embroiled in a legal battle related to a £200,000 mortgage fraud after allegedly forging the signature of his ex-girlfriend, Dina Taji. He was imprisoned for three weeks in Dubai in 2025 over this charge. Additionally, Lee’s claims about his wealth, including owning a £36 million mansion in Dubai, have come under fire, with sources revealing he actually lives in a rundown bungalow in a multicultural neighbourhood far from the luxurious lifestyle he’s described.
Despite Katie being back in the UK and Lee unable to leave Dubai due to travel restrictions, their relationship continues through FaceTime. Katie’s family has expressed concerns about the quick nature of the marriage, with Katie’s sister Sophie sharing on Katie’s podcast how the situation has left them emotionally drained and traumatised. Sophie even admitted that Katie’s impulsive decisions had taken a toll on their family, adding: “I feel drained. I’m not going to lie, this year for me has not been great. Mine has been a really fing s* start to the year, caused by you.”*
Katie’s children, Junior and Princess Andre, also found out about their mother’s marriage to Lee through a family group chat, leaving them “shell-shocked” at the news. Princess even reacted by saying: “The message Mum sent on the group chat about being engaged… I literally responded, ‘OMG.’ Mum’s very impulsive, but that is impulse on a whole other level.”
