Katie Price Faces Fan Backlash Over £5.99 Honeymoon Video Charge
Former glamour model Katie Price has sparked significant controversy by charging fans £5.99 for exclusive access to content from her honeymoon with new husband Lee Andrews. The move has drawn sharp criticism from her online following, with many expressing disappointment and accusing the celebrity of exploiting her subscriber base.
Dubai Trip and Fan Reactions
Price recently shared a short clip on her YouTube channel showing her packing for a "last minute" weekend trip to Dubai, following her quickie wedding to Andrews. In the video, she explained she was preparing for both types of weather as she wasn't sure what to pack. The post was captioned: "New video dropped on my channel. For £5.99 you can catch up with my latest trip to see Lee."
This announcement triggered immediate backlash from followers. One disgruntled fan questioned why Price needed to ask people for money, suggesting Dubai businessman Andrews should be funding her travel instead. They wrote: "Whys he not putting his hand in his pocket for her to travel shes doing all the running while hes sitting there laughing at her."
Another commenter expressed skepticism about the value proposition: "£5.99, to watch what. No thanks. This smacks of desperation." A third fan reminded Price of her community's support: "Remember your subscribers helped build your channel. Now you want to charge them £5.99 to see your trip."
Preparation and Family Concerns
Price flew to Dubai this week despite concerns from her family. The 47-year-old documented her preparation on Instagram, revealing she had her hair and lips done, as well as receiving filler in her buttocks. She clarified to her 2.7 million followers that this was not a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, stating: "It's looking really good, I'm really pleased with it and it's healing very well – no it's not a BBL, it is just filler."
Her trip comes just two weeks after she shocked fans by marrying Andrews – her fourth husband – following a whirlwind romance that began on social media. The couple tied the knot within days of their engagement.
Controversy Surrounding Lee Andrews
Andrews has faced increasing scrutiny since the marriage was announced. Reports have emerged suggesting he has a history of financial disputes with former partners, with one source describing him as a "scammer of the highest degree" to The Mirror. Additionally, a fellow Brit who claims to have shared a cell with Andrews for three weeks in October last year warned Price to be cautious, stating: "Katie Price's wedding is just another of his scams. All I can say is, I really hope she made him sign a pre-nup."
The source also alleged Andrews made extravagant claims while incarcerated, including being part of the Labour Party and friends with Elon Musk, while simultaneously "begging" inmates for cash despite his self-proclaimed billionaire status.
Travel Restrictions and Denials
Further complicating matters, Andrews is reportedly unable to leave Dubai due to a travel ban related to his time in prison for allegedly forging an ex-girlfriend's signature to secure a £200,000 loan. Middle Eastern laws prevent individuals involved in active criminal and civil cases, including unpaid debts, from exiting the country.
Andrews has denied all allegations against him, telling the Daily Mail: "I don't know what this is, with the debts and lawsuits, and I've got good equity here. There's no substance." He also disputed the travel ban claims, suggesting his bank account details disprove the allegations.
Despite these controversies, Andrews has talked openly about his upcoming honeymoon on Instagram, while a source told The Sun that Price's family remains deeply concerned about her welfare in the relationship. The source added: "Katie doesn't want to be away from Lee over Valentine's Day and said they are planning a honeymoon. Her family have read reports about Lee and are so concerned about Katie's welfare. She has insisted he is a good man though and is sticking by him."
