Katie Price’s Husband Lee Andrews Accused of Leaving Huge Bill Unpaid After Dubai Wedding
Katie Price’s husband, Lee Andrews, has reportedly left behind a substantial bill at the luxurious One&Only Royal Mirage hotel in Dubai, where the couple tied the knot in January. Despite assurances that he would settle the costs, sources claim that Andrews has yet to pay the outstanding balance—now six weeks after the whirlwind wedding.
Katie, 47, and businessman Lee, 42, celebrated their nuptials at the stunning Dubai hotel, exchanging vows just two days after announcing their engagement. The ceremony, set in the hotel’s lush gardens, was a picture of romance, with champagne toasts and kisses exchanged amid a carpet of red rose petals. However, the couple’s whirlwind romance, which began just a week prior, has not been without controversy.
Insiders revealed to Daily Mail that Andrews has failed to pay for their lavish stay, which allegedly included thousands of pounds worth of accommodation. The rooms, priced around £2,000 per night, were part of an extended stay at the upscale hotel. Despite Lee promising to return and clear the bill, he has yet to fulfill his commitment, leaving hotel staff frustrated.
One source told the Daily Mail: “Lee Andrews has not yet paid the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel. He promised to settle the outstanding bills but still hasn’t, and it’s been over six weeks.”
A Whirlwind Romance and Troubling Past
Katie and Lee’s romance has shocked many, especially considering they married just days after announcing their engagement, which took place at another lavish Dubai hotel, the Burj Al Arab. Photos from their wedding day show Katie in a stylish cutout white dress as they exchanged vows in front of friends and family, sealing their bond with a kiss.
However, the speed of their relationship has raised eyebrows. Just 16 days before their wedding, Katie had ended her relationship with Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater. Despite their apparent love story, Katie’s family, including her mother Amy Price, were left “traumatised” by the sudden union.
Adding to the drama, Lee’s ex-fiancée, Alana Percival, has warned Katie about his troubling past. Just 16 weeks before proposing to Katie, Lee had staged an identical rose-petal proposal at the Burj Al Arab for Alana. Alana and another former partner, Crystal Janke, have both accused Lee of fabricating his multimillion-pound wealth, including claims of owning a £36 million mansion in Dubai.
Legal Troubles and Claims of Fraud
Lee’s past includes a stint in a Dubai jail in 2025, where he was imprisoned for three weeks on fraud charges. He was accused of forging his ex-girlfriend Dina Taji’s signature to secure a £200,000 mortgage in her name.
When the Daily Mail approached Lee for comment about the unpaid hotel bill, he initially claimed the debt had been settled. “It was fully paid,” he stated. However, by the following day, he had failed to provide any proof of payment, despite insisting that he would send it by Saturday.
Strained Family Relations
Katie’s fast-paced engagement and marriage have also caused rifts within her family. Her children, Junior and Princess Andre, were shocked to learn about their mother’s new marriage via a group chat message, a revelation that left them “shell-shocked.”
Katie’s sister, Sophie, opened up about the emotional toll the situation has taken on the family during a recent podcast. “I feel drained. I’m not going to lie, this year for me has not been great. You, this year, have been a pain in the a**. Mum has been horrendous. You have traumatised us all again,” Sophie said.
Katie’s mother, currently in the hospital, expressed her disapproval over her daughter’s impulsive decision to marry a stranger, leaving Katie in tears during their conversation.
A Marriage Under Strain
Now, with Katie back in the UK and Lee unable to leave Dubai due to travel restrictions, the couple’s relationship appears to be under increasing strain. They are reportedly only able to communicate through FaceTime, further adding to the tension.
Katie has promised to continue supporting her family, but the fallout from this rushed marriage is far from over, and Lee’s unpaid debts are just the beginning of what has become a highly publicized and turbulent chapter in the couple’s lives.
