I’VE been reporting on the darker side of Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews since she married him back in January – and now believe his “kidnapping” is simply another brazen storyline he’s written to try and hoodwink her further.
And now it’s all unravelling faster than he could have imagined, with Katie finally admitting she is because (spoiler alert) she’s realised it’s all a massive lie.

Days before his so-called ‘kidnapping’, Andrews was already under pressure after being caught out claiming he was flying from Muscat Airport in Oman, when fans spotted he was actually at Dubai Terminal 2 Credit: Instagram
For four months, – and it would be correct to say he absolutely loathes me now.
From day one, I have refused to let his lies get in the way of reporting the truth.
and claimed he’d never heard of them – despite me having evidence to the contrary.
Those close to Katie have since sent vile messages to his ex, , who has than I think anyone will ever know.
If she chooses one day to share the rest of her story, I would urge you to listen to her. I did, and it made me feel physically sick.
Andrews threatened that he had lodged criminal charges against me in Dubai, which would see me arrested if I ever landed in the country and said he was suing me for defamation, which, comically, he spelt “deformation”.
then bragged he was going to get me sacked before messaging me on social media with a meme calling me a “c**t.”
I replied, “Likewise,” because he really is.
Now and I know it is because she’s finally realised this entire “kidnapping” scenario is just another part of Andrews’ elaborate lies.
Over the past few days, I have taken numerous calls from people all over the world who wanted to share their experiences of Andrews.
People have claimed to me that Andrews owes millions to businesses from failed schemes and warned there are more women who willingly handed over cash to receive nothing in return.
The “kidnapping” scenario is worthy of a script.
But it’s not unusual for wrong ‘uns who, after realising the jig is up, to try and distance themselves from the chaos they’ve left in their wake.
In my , the events of the past seven days are all a narrative being spun by Andrews to be parroted out by Katie, whose friends insist has nothing to do with his lies.
Now she’s reached the end of her patience.
“Katie knows something isn’t right about this scenario deep down,” a friend told me.
“Lee was active on two days after he told her he was going missing. She has heard nothing and has just been ghosted.
“She was so panicked at the start, but now it’s become a drain on her. The people around her have warned that this isn’t normal and that it all seems a bit suspect.”
In my opinion, Andrews has been laying the groundwork for his exit from Katie’s life for some time.
Some weeks ago, a contact of mine was gossiping about Andrews and his seemingly endless stream of fibs –
I’d never heard that porker before, and I laughed as I regaled a story his ex-fiancee, Alana, who bravely spoke out to warn Katie off Andrews back in January, had told me about Andrews telling her he had worked for .
Much like his now-debunked claims from his fictional CV, including that he worked for the and was the Director of Philanthropy at the King’s Trust, I laughed it off and forgot about it.

But after seeing the messages Andrews sent Katie, where he claimed he had been kidnapped and taken to a “black site”, to me, it suddenly all started to make sense.
In my opinion, Andrews’ MO is twisting narratives in a bid to make out he is something he plainly isn’t.
Suggesting to Katie and others that he works in a more than shady industry as an arms dealer to me suggests he was laying the foundations that he worked in a dangerous underworld.
So when – the name given to clandestine state-operated detention centres – naturally, she would believe it.
My esteemed boss persuaded Katie to share tin The Sun newspaper – and to me, his messages bear all the hallmarks of a man trying to pen a story with a better twist than some of Agatha Christie’s greatest works.
“Katie was basically told by Lee that he was involved in all sorts of business, and not all of it was savoury,” my contact explained.
“He told her he was an international arms dealer. It was something he openly boasted about.
“Lee made her think he had his fingers in all sorts of pies.
“So when he spun her a story about being kidnapped, she fell for it. Because, as far as Katie is concerned, this is the kind of world Lee has connections with and operates in.
“Now with everything that is coming out, she’s realising she may have been played for a fool.”
Far from being kidnapped, I firmly believe Andrews is now simply hiding out in Dubai – a country he cannot leave because, as Katie herself confirmed, he has a travel ban… even though Andrews went on to deny it.
and the pressure piled upon him by the thousands of people invested in this story, has backed Andrews into a corner..

In chilling messages shared with The Sun, Lee Andrews told Katie Price he had been arrested and taken to a ‘black site’
He initially managed to shrug off the criticism.
But after he publicly humiliated live on , and she publicly turned on him for the first time, I believe Andrews realised he had entered uncharted waters and knew it was time to get out.
, when the live location he shared with her on WhatsApp turned off – along with, it seems, the phone he used to contact her.
But I know Andrews uses multiple phones, and .
Today, an even wilder twist – with Andrews going back on Instagram to – adds to my theory.
Andrews had an escape route planned. And now he’s out – he’s moving on to someone else.
This man is in hiding, and he will stay there for as long as it is physically possible.
I’m not sure even Andrews, who probably could get a PhD in deception, could lie himself out of this one.
