Katie Price's New Husband Addresses Solo Return After Whirlwind Dubai Wedding
Katie Price's fourth husband, Lee Andrews, has publicly explained why the former glamour model returned to the United Kingdom alone following their sudden wedding ceremony in Dubai. The 47-year-old television personality married Andrews, 43, in an intimate service over the weekend, merely days after their engagement became public knowledge.
Family Concerns and Early Departure
Price's unexpected solo journey back to Britain prompted speculation about the legitimacy of the marriage, but Andrews has taken to Instagram Stories to provide clarification. He revealed that he plans to join his new wife in the UK on Thursday, explaining that Price needed to return early to reunite with her five children.
"She had to get back for her children because she's a good mother and she's lovely like that," Andrews stated in his social media video. "I'm going be meeting Katie tomorrow in the UK. I just need to wrap up a few things here."
Meanwhile, sources indicate that Price's family members, including her mother Amy and children Harvey, Junior, Princess, Jett, and Bunny, were reportedly unaware of the wedding plans. Family members are said to be deeply concerned about the relationship's rapid progression and are preparing to have a serious discussion with Price about her marriage.
Ex-Partners Issue Stark Warnings
The wedding celebration has been overshadowed by troubling allegations from Andrews' former partners. Alana Percival, who was engaged to Andrews until November, posted a direct warning to Price on Instagram, describing Andrews as a "lying swindler" and urging the celebrity to "run for the hills."
Percival shared details of their relationship, revealing that Andrews had connected with her on Facebook last March and showered her with expensive gifts including Louis Vuitton handbags and Cartier jewellery, alongside transferring thousands of pounds. She claims the engagement setup was identical to Price's recent proposal at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab.
Another former partner, Crystal Janke from Texas, has alleged that Andrews convinced her to invest £123,000 in his company with promises of substantial returns. Janke believes her money may have been used to fund lavish gifts for Percival, as Andrews was reportedly dating both women simultaneously. She has reported the matter to police, who are said to be aware of the fraud allegations.
Andrews Responds to Allegations
When contacted by the Daily Mail, Andrews acknowledged his relationship with Percival but dismissed her claims, stating "I gave her a lavish lifestyle. I invested in her real estate business. I have to dismiss all her claims." Regarding Janke's allegations, he maintained "I have never met the woman" and denied receiving any investment funds from her.
Andrews did confirm he has a heart condition but asserted "I have never used this as leverage as a conversation to fake anything." He addressed speculation about wedding rings being worn on incorrect hands, humorously clarifying that both he and Price wear their rings on the traditional left hand, with the apparent confusion arising from smartphone camera reversal.
Relationship Details and Future Plans
The couple's relationship reportedly began when Price noticed Andrews' polished online profile just days before their engagement. They have already commemorated their union with matching hand tattoos featuring each other's names. Andrews expressed his happiness in social media posts, declaring "we are married, it is official and I'm the happiest man in the world."
Despite the controversy surrounding their union, Andrews remains optimistic about their future together, promising additional tattoos and continuing to publicly express his affection for Price. The couple's unconventional wedding and subsequent separation have captured significant public attention, with many awaiting their reunion in Britain later this week.
