The Foreign Office is in new talks over the location of Katie Price’s husband after days of speculation.
The husband of ex-glamour model Price disappeared 13 days ago and since then mystery has surrounded his whereabouts.
The mystery deepened after his phone was reportedly activated on Sunday.
Sources claim Andrews, 42, was active on his phone on Sunday morning, more than a week after he disappeared.
A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said: "We are supporting the family of a British man and are in contact with the local authorities."
On Saturday, Katie Price dismissed claims made by Andrews’ father that her husband was being held in a Dubai prison, branding the reports “fake news”.
The businessman told the Daily Mail: “Lee is OK. He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest. I don't know on what charge.”
However, Price hit back at the claims, as she called them “fake” and wrote on her Instagram story: “Lee is still missing. Me and his family know what’s going on and working with the authorities involved.”
On Sunday, a source told The Sun that their messages to Andrews were being seen, which indicates that his phone is active.
“Lee has multiple phones but this is the one that is being used now,” they told the newspaper.
Andrews, who married Price in January this year, sent the reality TV star a video of him hooded with his hands seemingly tied after being 'bundled into a van' and allegedly taken to a 'black site'.
At the time he was said to have been trying to make his way back to London to be with her, having sent her a string of messages and voice calls suggesting he had been kidnapped.
Mother-of-five Price appeared to have been snubbed by Andrews on her 48th birthday while the controversial businessman seemed to be active on Instagram.
She said on Wednesday that she was “giving up the search” for him a week after he vanished.
She had previously voiced concerns that he had been kidnapped at the Dubai border while he was trying to get to the UK for a joint GMB interview.
The former model was said to be “disgusted and appalled” after Andrews, whom she married in January just days after meeting him, failed to contact her on Friday.
Close friends of hers were reportedly horrified by his actions, especially as he apparently followed a mystery woman on social media.
“Katie is disgusted and appalled,” a source told The Sun.
Andrews had claimed he wouldn’t have access to his phone before going missing.
However, on Thursday night he appeared to follow a woman called Mari Sol, who has around 800 followers and describes herself as a “biker babe” and a “navy veteran”.
Price has claimed that she believes her husband was detained at the Dubai border and kidnapped.
On Tuesday, the TV star shared the last text messages she said she had received from Andrews’ phone.
One message read: “Been arrested, I’ll be in touch I’m ok xx.”
But adding to the confusion, he then suggested in another message that he had not been arrested at all.
Instead, he claimed he had been put in a van and taken to an unknown location.
According to The Sun, he wrote: “It’s a black site, I love you, I sort it. I’m in the van… just being detained wtf.”
He reportedly asked Price to keep tracking his live location, saying: “Keep that on babe love you.”
She also said when she spoke to him on another day that he had said he had “ties around his hands and was in a van” and his location tracker subsequently went off.
It was reported on Monday that Andrews’ family had filed a missing persons report at the British Embassy in Dubai.
Andrews has faced accusations he is a conman and Price's family have shared their fears about her whirlwind relationship with him in the past.
He has been branded a “liar and a narcissist” by two of his exes.
He has strenuously denied the conman claims along with allegations that he is unable to leave the UAE due to a travel ban.
Andrews was reportedly banned from leaving Dubai after allegedly spending three weeks in a UAE jail over claims he forged an ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan, according to the Mail.
It was also alleged that he applied for a mortgage in his ex’s name without her consent. Andrews has denied the claims.
