Katie Price and Lee Andrews Deny Using AI Filters on Instagram
Katie Price and her new husband Lee Andrews have vehemently denied allegations that they use artificial intelligence or filters to enhance their social media images, insisting their recent Dubai honeymoon photos are completely unfiltered. The couple, who stunned fans by marrying just days after meeting last month, have been documenting their time in the United Arab Emirates on Instagram, where they have also hinted at expecting a child and shared numerous polished snaps.
Instagram Controversy and AI Allegations
Following scrutiny over Lee Andrews' unrecognisable images, the couple took to his Instagram stories on Tuesday to address the claims directly. Katie Price, 47, stated in a video: '[People] say everything we do is filtered or AI.' Lee Andrews, 43, pointed at his face and added: 'This is not AI, all me.' The video showed the pair sitting in the back of a car, seemingly without seatbelts, as they declared it was their second day of posting without any filters.
A deep-dive into Lee's Instagram profile reveals a penchant for heavily edited content. He claims to be a Cambridge-educated doctor with a multimillion-pound business linked to Elon Musk, but his ex-fiancée Alana Percival has shared images contrasting his 'real' appearance with his glossy online persona. Many of his beach and gym selfies appear airbrushed, with one Facebook photo almost unidentifiable compared to a version from two years ago.
Pregnancy Rumours and Social Media Speculation
The couple has also fuelled pregnancy speculation through their posts. Katie recently posed with a pregnancy test, concealing the result, and told followers they must subscribe to her private Instagram for £2.99 a month to learn more. Lee added to the rumours with posts captioned 'Tea for 3' and 'Soon to be three' alongside pregnancy emojis. However, Katie has since clarified: 'No, I'm not pregnant but one day I will be... Hopefully that clears all the speculation up.'
This has led to accusations that Katie is overshadowing her daughter Princess, 18, who is promoting the second series of her ITV reality show, The Princess Diaries. A source told The Sun: 'Yet again, Katie has to post a series of attention seeking pics on social media – the pregnancy test this morning, all of the wedding stuff – and it's terrible timing.'
Dubai Honeymoon and Legal Claims
During their Dubai honeymoon, Lee Andrews has faced claims that he is on a flight ban and cannot leave the UAE, despite his assertions that he will join Katie in the UK. His ex-fiancée Alana Percival has stated he is legally bound to the Emirates. The couple's whirlwind romance began when Katie was reportedly captivated by Lee's online profile, leading to a quick wedding.
In their latest unfiltered video, the couple exchanged 'I love you' before signing off, with Katie noting they have received 'lots and lots of nice comments, finally!' The controversy highlights the ongoing debate over authenticity and image manipulation on social media platforms like Instagram.
