Katie Price was left terrified and forced to call the police after her husband Lee Andrews was “kidnapped”. Price’s relationship with Lee has come under fire, with many questioning Andrews’ motives.
Earlier this week, Lee was due to fly to the United Kingdom to see former model Katie and meet those closest to her. They were also due to give their first televised interview on ITV‘s Good Morning Britain. However, despite Lee sending both Katie and ITV a video to say he was at the airport, he failed to turn up.
Lee said he was flying from Muscat International, but the background of his video showed that he was at Terminal Two of Dubai International. A spokesperson for the Foreign Office confirmed that they were assisting a British male citizen who had been detained. This was denied by Katie and Lee.

He later said he was back at the airport, preparing to fly to the UK. But days after he was due to arrive, Katie claims he was kidnapped in Dubai. In a video shared on her YouTube page, Katie claims she last spoke to Lee on Wednesday night. During this call, he was supposedly in a van, with his hands tied and told his wife people were “coming” for him.
Terrified by this, Katie has since been in contact with police forces in the United Arab Emirates, where Lee lives. After spending hours trying to contact her husband to no avail, Katie phoned the police.
“Then we got in contact with the police out in Dubai and I’ve got a head of CID out there, so it’s really worrying because me and Lee are in constant, constant contact all the time,” she said on her YouTube channel.
She added: “It’s worrying that his location has gone off. So then we contact the police, the embassy, so has his family. And so I’ve had the head of CID in Dubai trying to track Lee. So far, I got a message this morning, so now it’s three days, saying that no one can find anywhere in the country where Lee has been detained.
” They just can’t find it anywhere. We’re now wondering, as far-fetched as it is, if, well, he’s definitely a missing person now. I don’t know if he’s been kidnapped. I don’t know what’s going on. No one can find him in any prison, police station, anywhere in Dubai, the police can’t find any record of him.”
Katie went on to explain that she wasn’t going to publicly address the situation, but that there had been speculation that her husband had been arrested, which she continues to deny. The former model said that the police in the UAE wouldn’t go through Lee’s phone. On Sunday, it will be four days since she last heard from Lee and she will consider filing a missing person report.
“I’ve been told he hasn’t been arrested,” she said. Katie added that the police were assisting her enquiries, and Lee was a missing person. “It’s worrying that the last call I had with him, he had ties around his hands and a hood,” she said, adding that Lee was last seen in a van with mesh windows.
“I’m feeling really deflated, it’s the unknown, at the end of the day, it’s my husband,” she said, before saying she had questioned whether she should fly to Dubai, despite having professionals taking care of the situation for her.
