Katie Price's husband Lee Andrews 'arrested again in Dubai as he rushes to pay £120k fine'

Katie Price's husband Lee Andrews has allegedly been arrested again just weeks after being freed from Dubai prison Al Awir.

Lee, 43, is reportedly trying to raise sums for a £120,000 fine after being transported by police to Lahab police station in the Dubai desert on Friday.

According to The Sun, Lee told his friend: “They’ve arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out. We need to make a noise with a Go Fund Me.”

The insider added: "Lee had been stressed out in the days leading up to his arrest as he needed to raise money he believed he owed."

Katie, 48, is currently in the UK promoting the release of her Sky documentary. Last week, she appeared on This Morning where she defended her wedding to Lee which took place in January just days after meeting.

Within months, Andrews vanished and claimed to have been kidnapped, only for it to emerge he had been held in a jail cell.

Andrews, a self-proclaimed millionaire, who has faced conman allegations, was released from prison in Dubai in June after being arrested on reported fraud charges. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing and allegations he is a conman.

Since coming out, Andrews has been making personalised videos for fans through the website Cameo to rake in some money.

Last month, US businesswoman Crystal Janke alleged she gave £123,000 to invest in one of Andrew's schemes only to be left with nothing. Later in June, it was alleged Andrews took £5,000 from a "desperate" woman in Dubai while promising to arrange a property investment visa for her.

The woman claims Andrews assured her he had friends in the Dubai government who could arrange the visa she required "through the back door". But she says the requested via never materialised and she is still waiting for answers, The Sun reports.

Katie Price has stated her marriage to Lee Andrews is “f***ed up” after he made a series of bizarre claims about her children.

Andrews said he has adopted her kids and claimed they are trying to have a baby together.

Andrews’ ex Dina Taji, who was with him for three and a half years, previously accused him of taking out a £200,000 mortgage in her name without her knowledge shortly after they married - something he denies.

She reportedly took legal action against Andrews, leading to him spending three weeks in a Dubai jail and being hit with a travel ban.

Two of his other exes have branded him a “liar” and urged Price to never give him any money.

The Standard has tried to contact Andrews and Price for comment.
