Despite having to deactivate her social media accounts, Lee Andrews' mother is determined not to let trolls stop her from doing what she loves: communicating with the dead. Trisha Andrews, a spiritual medium, has been subjected to intense online abuse since her son Lee went missing nearly two weeks ago. Lee, 43, is married to Katie Price, but meeting his mother reveals a woman far removed from the media storm.
A Determined Medium
While dealing with the agony of her son's disappearance and a barrage of online hate, Trisha refuses to stop working as a clairvoyant. Forced to make her social media private, the 64-year-old appeared at the Midland Hotel in Mansfield on Friday, May 22, performing to a sold-out audience. The intimate setting made it feel like sitting in Trisha's living room. She brought humour to devastating stories, a real gift.
The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop. In a small function room with only a few rows of seats and a homemade buffet, Trisha made the audience of 80 feel entirely included, reducing many to tears with her powerful readings. As a sceptic, I was stunned when she knew things about my mum's family that she couldn't have researched, even identifying a health issue just by looking at her.
Behind the Scenes Turmoil
Behind the scenes, things are far from normal. Hotel organisers admitted they had been hit by a barrage of prank calls targeting the family. Trisha's new daughter-in-law Katie has sparked a fierce feud by claiming Lee was kidnapped near the Dubai border. Lee's family are furious, accusing Katie of exploiting his disappearance for drama. When a fan defended Trisha online, she replied: 'Thank you. It's Katie exploiting and I get all the backlash.'
Family friend Rebecca told the Daily Mail: 'They are a very close family. Kelly (Lee's sister) is communicating with Katie and Dubai police to take the strain off Trisha. The lack of empathy online is heartbreaking.'
Lee's Background
Lee grew up in Mansfield, where Trisha still lives. His parents had a troubled relationship, and Trisha raised her children alone. As a geeky schoolboy, Lee never foreshadowed his future. In the early 2000s, he moved to Dubai to escape problems, according to a family source. The kidnapping claims have provoked fury from his family.
Despite Lee being missing for almost two weeks, there has been a twist. Lee followed an American 'biker babe' on Instagram, who has since blocked him. His phone is now active, and WhatsApp messages show two grey ticks. Lee's father claims he was arrested in Dubai, not kidnapped. Katie debunked this as 'fake news', stating: 'Lee is still missing. Me and his family know what's going on.'
In a YouTube statement, Katie said: 'There's nothing I can do. The police are dealing with it. I'm just staying quiet. The British police, consulate, Foreign Office, and Interpol are on the case. All I can do is get on with my life.'
