In a dramatic escalation of an already turbulent celebrity marriage, Lee Andrews, the 43-year-old Dubai-based businessman and fourth husband of Katie Price, has been officially declared a missing person. After five days with no contact, the former glamour model, currently in the UK, has voiced serious concerns for his safety, including fears of kidnapping. A source close to events in Dubai has now come forward with details of Andrews’ last known sighting, describing behaviour that has inadvertently spotlighted deeper, long-standing issues in his life.
Katie Price, 47, broke her silence in emotional video updates shared on social media and YouTube. She revealed that the couple’s last communication occurred on Wednesday night (around May 13-14, 2026). During a FaceTime call, Andrews allegedly appeared distressed, with his hands tied and a hood over his head, claiming people were “coming for him.” The call cut off at approximately 10:03 pm, and his location services switched off shortly after. He had been attempting to cross the Dubai-Oman border at Hatta to secure a flight to the UK.
“I put that up because the truth is, Lee has been missing for… days,” Price stated, her voice heavy with worry. “The last time I heard from Lee was Wednesday night at 10 o’clock. He was trying to go through the border… His location went off at 10:03pm. That’s the last contact anyone has had – his family and myself.” She confirmed contact with Dubai police, the head of CID, and the British Embassy, but no trace has been found. Authorities have reportedly checked prisons and police stations with no records of him in custody.
Andrews’ family has now filed an official missing person report with the British Embassy in Dubai, formalising the search. A source close to Price told media outlets: “Lee is officially a missing person now. Katie is in constant contact with his family and is desperately worried.” Price herself admitted she is “mortified” by online speculation that the situation could be a stunt, insisting she is not involved in any fabrication.
Broken Promises and the Road to Disappearance
The disappearance caps weeks of mounting tension. Andrews had promised to join Price in the UK, where she hoped he would finally meet her family and children. The couple had been scheduled for a joint appearance on *Good Morning Britain*, but Andrews failed to board his flight, leaving Price to face questions alone. She later shared voice notes in which he cited bureaucratic hurdles – needing an “exit stamp,” “entrance stamp,” and even a doctor’s letter – to leave the UAE.
Price had grown frustrated, publicly stating that her husband had made her “look like a d**k” and issuing what many interpreted as an ultimatum: he needed to come to the UK, as she would not return to Dubai amid her own commitments. Despite the drama, she had been preparing their UK home for his arrival. Now, with no contact, her tone has shifted from irritation to genuine alarm.
The Dubai Source and “Unusual” Behaviour Exposing Shocking Truth
A source in Dubai who claims to have seen Andrews in the days leading up to his disappearance has provided fresh details. According to the account, Andrews appeared agitated and distracted during what should have been routine travel preparations. His behaviour – described as unusually evasive and hurried – has inadvertently drawn renewed attention to long-standing allegations surrounding his past in the emirate.
These revelations tie into persistent claims that Andrews has faced legal and financial troubles in Dubai. Reports dating back earlier in 2026 allege he spent time in a Dubai prison over accusations of forging the signature of his ex-partner, personal trainer Dina Taji, to secure a £200,000 loan or mortgage in her name without her knowledge. Taji reportedly discovered the issue when the bank contacted her and pursued legal action, resulting in a reported travel ban that prevented him from leaving the UAE. Andrews has strongly denied these allegations, calling them false and insisting he has no such ban.
Insiders previously described his time in custody as harrowing – sleeping on a concrete floor with minimal comforts in what one former inmate called a “hellhole.” The source’s description of Andrews’ “unusual” demeanour near the border has fuelled speculation that unresolved issues from this period may be connected to his current vanishing. Whether related to business disputes, debts, or other matters, the situation has exposed what many observers call the “shocking truth” behind the whirlwind romance: a marriage built amid red flags and unverified claims.
Price and Andrews married in January 2026 in a rapid ceremony in Dubai, just days after meeting in person (they initially connected via Instagram). The union was her fourth and has been dogged by scepticism from the start. Ex-partners of Andrews have publicly questioned his character, and online trolls have labelled the relationship a sham. Despite this, Price has repeatedly defended her husband, calling him her “Richard Gere” and expressing unconditional support.
Katie Price’s Dilemma: Staying in the UK
Price remains in Britain, supported by professionals as she navigates the crisis. She has expressed hesitation about flying to Dubai, citing her work schedule and the “really weird” nature of the situation. Instead, she is focusing on family, recently taking her son Harvey to the cinema and praising her daughters. Friends say she is “discombobulated” but determined to see the authorities’ search through.
Dubai police continue their investigation. The dramatic nature of the last FaceTime – hands bound, hooded, in a van with mesh windows – has captivated media attention, though some commentators remain sceptical given the couple’s history of public spats and Andrews’ previous no-shows.
Broader Context: Celebrity, Scrutiny, and Dubai Life
This episode highlights the complexities of cross-border relationships involving high-profile figures and the strict legal environment of the UAE, where travel bans for civil or criminal matters are not uncommon. Andrews, who presents himself as a successful businessman, has faced questions about his CV (he admitted to exaggerations, blaming a former assistant), social media activity (he recently went quiet or limited comments), and past relationships.
As the search enters its sixth day, concern for Andrews’ wellbeing grows. Whether this proves to be a genuine emergency, a misunderstanding amid bureaucratic issues, or something more complex tied to his Dubai entanglements, the story has gripped the public. Price’s fans and critics alike await updates, while authorities in Dubai and the UK work to locate him.
For now, Katie Price can only wait and hope. “I don’t know if he’s been kidnapped. I don’t know what’s going on,” she said. The broken promise to join her in the UK has turned into a full-scale disappearance mystery, with the “unusual” last sightings potentially unlocking truths the couple had hoped to keep private. The coming days will be critical in determining whether Lee Andrews reappears safely or if deeper shadows from his past have finally caught up with him.
