Susanna Reid issued a warning to Katie Price about her husband Lee Andrews during a tense exchange on Good Morning Britain, suggesting he might not be 'telling her everything.' Both Katie and Lee were expected to appear for their first joint interview, but the businessman failed to show.
An exasperated Susanna told viewers: 'Katie and her husband Lee were booked to appear and up until yesterday that was still the case.' Lee posted on social media saying he was 'attending to business' in Dubai, where he lives. The GMB team contacted the Foreign Office to check if Lee had any travel ban, and the Foreign Office responded: 'We supported a British man who was detained in the UAE.'
Ed Balls asked Katie directly if Lee had been arrested. She hit back: 'No, I feel like they just said it to me in there [backstage] so I just said to Lee apparently a British man has been detained, can you confirm it's not you?' and he sent a voice note saying it's not him with laughing emojis. Susanna then asked if Lee was 'unreliable,' to which Katie insisted: 'Not to me.'
Susanna said: 'What I love about you Katie is that you're very open, but I just wonder if he's telling you everything.' Katie replied: 'I know no one believes me, your face says it all. I can't keep going to Dubai because I've got work and my kids here. He pays for it anyway but I can't keep going to Dubai so he's shifting over here.'
When the Foreign Office was mentioned again, Susanna asked if their information 'raised a concern.' Katie said: 'No you've asked the question to them - they haven't come to you. He wouldn't have his phone, he wouldn't be at the airport, so it's definitely not Lee. I've just had him on FaceTime at the airport.' There is ongoing speculation that Lee is unable to leave Dubai after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to secure a £200,000 loan, which he strongly denies.
