KATIE Price has found Lee Andrews, The Sun can reveal.
The under-fire conman – who has become subject to an – called his wife in a two minute phone call from prison earlier this morning.
Lee claims he was arrested and detained on suspicion of espionage, and has been held at Dubai’s notorious Al Awir prison.
It came after Lee’s dad, Peter, texted the glamour model to explain his whereabouts, and set up the call, which Katie claims came from the prison’s call box.
Katie said: “I have found him – he is alive, and he is ok.
“I told him how worried I had been and told him I loved him. It was very rushed, but he said the authorities out there thought he was a spy. I don’t know much more than that right now.”
It is understood Lee was arrested on Wednesday 14th May after previously hiding out and keeping a deliberately low profile.
In the days before that he had moved his stuff out of his rental apartment, and had moved in briefly with his father, staying in his villa.
Lee must now pay a four figure fine, and is expected to be released on Monday.
Lee disappeared two weeks ago and Katie and his family were unable to get a hold of him.
His family filed a ‘s report at the British embassy in Dubai, where he resides full time.
Just last week, Katie admitted e after deleting a social media update about his situation.
She previously expressed her fears for his safety after he claimed he had been “arrested” and taken to a “black site” in his last text messages to her.
But while speaking on the latest episode of her podcast, The Show, she said she was now “leaving it to the police“.
The former glamour model said: “There’s nothing I can do, nothing more that I can say.
“And the police are dealing with it. I’m just leaving it to the police.
“I’m not gonna talk about it anymore, I’m just staying quiet because it’s getting ridiculous now, people just taking the p**s out of everything”.
Katie added: “The police are now handling it, the British police, British consulate, the foreign office, Interpol they’re on the case looking for .
“All I can do is just get on with my life.
“I’ve got lots of exciting things coming up, and I’m just waiting for a call.
“What am I supposed to do, sit here and cry and do nothing, stay in bed?”
She also said: “For my own sanity, I am taking a step back”.
Lee’s dad Peter had claimed his son was being held by police as he told Daily Mail: “Lee is OK.
“He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest. I don’t know on what charge.
“I’m not sure where he is being held. But he will call me later today. He is not at my house.”
However, Katie disputed these claims as she hit back on social media, adding: “This is fake news.
“Lee is still missing. Me and his family know what’s going on and working
with the authorities involved.”
A police insider told the publication: “Lee Andrews has been arrested.”
The drama started earlier this month when Lee was scheduled to fly to the UK for his first interview with Katie on .
But he failed to turn up, leaving her to face the music on her own.
After he was caught in a lie about being at Muscat airport, Lee went off grid and was unable to be reached by Katie.
She told her fans in a video that he had his hands tied up and was in the back of a van after being “arrested”.
