Katie Price is facing fresh headlines after her husband, Lee Andrews, was reportedly arrested again in Dubai just a month after his release from Al Awir prison.
According to the report, the 42-year-old businessman was taken by police to Lahab police station in the Dubai desert on Friday, as he allegedly attempted to deal with an outstanding financial penalty said to be worth around £120,000.
The development comes at a difficult time for Katie, who is currently back in the UK following the release of her new Sky documentary and a high-profile appearance on This Morning, where she once again defended her marriage despite ongoing public scrutiny.
A source claimed Lee had told a friend that he had been arrested and suggested Katie might need to help him. The same source also alleged that he had been under pressure in the days leading up to the incident because he believed he needed to raise money quickly.
Katie’s representatives were contacted for comment, according to the original report. Lee has repeatedly denied being involved in wrongdoing and has pushed back strongly against claims made about him by former partners.
Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has reportedly been arrested AGAIN as he scrambles to pay £120k fine just a month after his release from Dubai’s Al Awir prison
The latest update follows a turbulent few months for the couple. Lee was previously detained in Dubai, with reports linking the situation to fraud allegations. However, he has disputed that account and has claimed there is no evidence that he has been charged with fraud.
In posts shared online, Lee has also claimed that the story surrounding his earlier detention has been misrepresented, while criticising former fiancée Alana Percival for spreading claims about him. He has denied allegations from multiple women who have accused him of taking money from them or misleading them over business dealings.
The situation first attracted wider attention when Lee appeared to disappear, prompting Katie to initially claim he had been kidnapped. It later emerged that he was being held at Al Awir prison in Dubai, a development that added even more drama to the already chaotic public picture of their relationship.
The Daily Mail previously reported that Lee took out a £200,000 mortgage in the name of ex-partner Dina Taji without her knowledge. Legal action was then said to have led to a travel ban in Dubai, leaving Lee unable to visit the UK and meet Katie’s family and friends.
Another former partner, Crystal Janke, has alleged that Lee persuaded her to hand over £123,000 for an investment in his company, reportedly promising a huge return. Lee has denied being involved in cons and has insisted that the claims against him are not true.
A source revealed that Lee had told a pal: ‘They’ve arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out. We need to make a noise with a Go Fund Me’
This week Katie appeared on This Morning as she revealed her family want ‘nothing to do’ with her husband Lee, as she admitted their marriage has become a ‘gimmicky joke’
Documents cited in the report are said to show that some of the debts connected to a warrant for Lee’s arrest included around £54,000 linked to a rental car and £15,000 owed to a legal firm in the United Arab Emirates.
A representative for Lee reportedly said he appeared before court and explained that his wife was outside the country, while also saying he had been unable to access the bank account needed to make payment. He was said to have requested 14 days to settle the outstanding amount.
Sources have claimed Lee managed to avoid being returned to prison at that stage after telling officials he could raise the money himself. He has also reportedly insisted that Katie has supported him emotionally and helped him communicate with officials, but that he has not asked her to clear his debts.
Katie, meanwhile, has made no secret of the fact that her family have concerns. During her This Morning appearance, the former glamour model admitted her relatives want “nothing to do” with Lee and said the situation had become a “gimmicky joke” online.
She said she had warned Lee not to return to social media after his release, explaining that the attention around his posts had become unfair on her. His videos, including clips in which he appeared with AI-generated hair, have been widely mocked and discussed online.
Despite the backlash, Katie has continued to stand by the relationship. She said her family are protective because they fear another man could hurt or use her, but insisted she has had therapy and will not allow anyone to break her again.
For Katie, the reported arrest adds another complicated layer to a marriage that has already been questioned by fans, family members and critics alike. For Lee, the pressure now appears to centre on whether he can settle the alleged financial issues that continue to keep him tied to Dubai.
What happens next remains unclear, but the couple’s relationship is once again under a harsh spotlight, with Katie defending her choices in public while Lee faces yet another reported legal and financial setback abroad.
