Katie Price's New Husband Faces Allegations of Inappropriate Texts Before Surprise Dubai Wedding
Fresh claims have emerged about Katie Price's whirlwind marriage to Lee Andrews, with allegations that he sent sexually explicit messages to a female bodybuilder just weeks before their shock wedding in Dubai. The revelations cast a shadow over the couple's sudden nuptials, which took place over the weekend following a remarkably brief engagement period.
Bodybuilder's Claims of Flirtatious Exchanges
Tina Prodromou, a single mother-of-two and competitive bodybuilder, has come forward with claims that she and Andrews began exchanging messages in December 2024. According to her account, their communication continued until December 31, with Andrews allegedly referring to her as a "sexy little beast" during their exchanges.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Prodromou revealed: "He would be very sexual at times, sometimes saying what he'd like to do – he's flirty. I would go along with it, but my boundary was always the same – I'd shut it down with, 'If we ever get married, then you can'."
The bodybuilder, who has never met Andrews in person, expressed scepticism about the sudden marriage announcement, stating: "The sudden marriage announcement doesn't sit right with me. I think it could be a massive publicity stunt. I'm calling b******t on it."
Dubai Wedding Follows Rapid Romance
The allegations surface against the backdrop of Price and Andrews' rapid romantic development. The television personality only returned to the UK on Monday following the intimate ceremony, telling her Instagram followers she had "lots to catch you up on." Andrews himself shared a photograph from their nuptials with the caption: "We know the truth and that's what matters."
This whirlwind romance comes just days after Price's split from Married at First Sight star JJ Slater, with whom she had been in a relationship for approximately two years. Sources indicate that Slater was "blindsided" by the news of Price's marriage while currently in Miami with his family.
Questions Surround Andrews' Background
Further scrutiny has been directed at Andrews' professional claims and background. Described as a Nottinghamshire comprehensive-school educated expat who has lived in Dubai for 21 years, Andrews presents himself as CEO of Aura Sustainable Vehicles & Energy. However, investigations reveal no actual website for this supposedly substantial firm.
His social media presence features what appear to be AI-generated images alongside celebrities including Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian. In May last year, he posted an AI photograph showing him with a giant cheque for $150 million, apparently for investment in sustainable energy.
Family Concerns and Previous Engagements
Price's family have reportedly been left in the dark about her shock marriage, with sources indicating they haven't spoken to her since she walked down the aisle. Friends of the reality star have expressed hope that she's "smart enough to question his motives."
This engagement marks Price's ninth, with Andrews becoming her fourth husband following previous marriages to Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler. Notably, Andrews' proposal to Price bears striking resemblance to his almost identical proposal to former flame Alana Percival last year, complete with rose petals and tea lights spelling out "Will you marry me" in the same luxurious Dubai spa setting.
Percival, who reportedly invested in one of Andrews' companies, later called off their engagement after growing suspicious of his intentions. Andrews is a twice-married man who described his personal trainer ex-wife as "the perfect woman" just eighteen months ago.
Relationship History and Current Developments
Price's relationship with Slater reportedly ended after she realised she didn't see a future with him, despite having spent Christmas together and previously discussing the possibility of having a child. A source revealed: "Katie has had doubts for some time about whether JJ is husband material, but she hoped those concerns would fade. Instead, her fears only grew."
Price and Andrews connected through social media before she flew to Dubai, with her family said to be "blindsided" by the rapid development of their relationship. In announcing their engagement, Price revealed they purchased their wedding rings – hers a diamond Cartier band – before they had even met in person.
The Daily Mail has contacted Lee Andrews for comment regarding the allegations made by Tina Prodromou. As the story develops, questions continue to surround the circumstances of this sudden marriage and the background of Price's new husband.
