IF you need any further proof of what a vile man Lee Andrews is, just listen to the grim voice note of him hawking an alleged “sex tape” with his wife Katie Price.
, which has understandably appalled Katie, wasn’t just made to a friend though – as it’s now claimed Andrews touted the “footage” to companies including Vivid Entertainment, the organisation who cashed in on and , back in March.

has furiously denied the existence of any such video and for her sake, I hope she’s right.
, which is what this footage would be if it was ever circulated by , is a crime.
But sadly, given how ineffective the judicial system in Dubai appears to be, I doubt he’d ever be held accountable.
Andrews made the gross confession about the supposed tape in a voice note to a friend which was handed to The Sun On Sunday, who wanted to further expose him as the rotter he is.

But this wasn’t the first time I had heard about this alleged footage.
Four months ago, a well-placed contact of mine who lives and works in the US, rang me and asked if I had heard about Andrews trying to sell footage he had of himself and Katie.
At the time they told me that he had allegedly attempted to contact various companies, including Vivid Entertainment, about “footage” he had of them together.
They went on to claim that Andrews had supposedly admitted he had not told Katie, his , about the plan and is claimed to have said he would “tell her at an appropriate time.”
I looked back on notes I had taken during the call in March, with my contact telling me: “Lee was touting a ‘sex tape’ he said he had of him and Katie around in the US.
“He seemed to be pretty au fait with companies he needed to contact.
“People were talking about it over here, saying he’d contacted Vivid Entertainment and other companies who distribute adult content.
“He had money on his mind too and there was a suggestion on his side of getting an advance of £250,000. It’s absolutely crazy.
“He wasn’t taken seriously and it all came to nothing in the end, but that didn’t stop him trying.”
In truth what I had been told turned my stomach and I decided to put what I had been told to one side.
Then this morning I woke up to see Katie’s furious response to my colleague Hannah Hope’s original story and I wanted to set this straight – as in my eyes it can only further highlight what a deluded, selfish and callous person I believe Andrews to be.
Katie’s ire in this case is misplaced.

Because even if Andrews is lying about the existence of this “tape”, which I pray he is, it still beggars belief that Katie has not ended their marriage over it.
This is a man who is not only claiming to have captured footage of a hugely sensitive, private moment, this is a man who has actively touted it around.
And not just recently, he was supposedly bragging about its existence little over eight weeks after you married him.
How Katie can stand by Andrews after this is to me beyond comprehension.
Since their wedding at the start of the year, Katie has stood by Andrews despite every single that has been waved, not only by our reporters, but by members of her own family.
She has chosen to ignore the plight of his ex-partners, who rightly reached out to Katie to warn her about what Andrews is like.
She has chosen to ignore the reports about the people he has money from, repeatedly, and instead flies to Dubai to be treated by Andrews to days out at beach clubs and restaurants which are paid for, I believe, through ill-gotten gains.
You’d think given her disgust and outrage at what Andrews has claimed that this would be the final nail in the coffin of that relationship.
Even Andrews’ own sister Kelly – who previously tried to downplay my reports about her brother taking money from women – has conceded she too now believes he has done wrong.
In a statement posted on social media by one of Andrews’ school friends, they said: “Kelly Andrews and I just want to take a moment to speak the truth.
“Recent information shared has brought forward evidence that has left us both shocked.
“We are the first to admit when we’re wrong, and now that there is proof, we feel it’s important to acknowledge that.
“We also want people to understand that this involves Kelly’s brother, which makes this incredibly painful for their family.
“The Lee we knew was never like this, which makes it even harder for us, as his sister and as a friend, to get our heads around everything that’s come to light.”
– again – in Dubai’s Al-Awir, , who has been thrown into jail after being caught up in one of Andrews’ scams.
This week, Andrews is likely to go free and again, he’ll hopefully be walking out to some serious questions from Katie. The person she should be furious with is the man she married.
This circus is being fuelled by Andrews and Andrews alone.
Katie needs to cut him out like a cancer, before it spreads and she can’t stop it.
PRICE OF LOVE
By
KATIE Price has had a string of high-profile lovers and husbands.
There were early romances with former England and Spurs star Teddy Sheringham, as well as singers Gareth Gates and Dane Bowers.
Katie then fell pregnant with former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke — and their son Harvey is now 24.
In 2004 Katie bonded with another singer, Peter Andre, on I’m A Celebrity.
They married a year later and had two children Junior, now 21, and Princess, now 19, before splitting in 2009.
Just a year later Katie tied the knot to former cage fighter Alex Reid, but they were only together for a year.
Katie’s third marriage, in 2013, to builder and ex-stripper Kieran Hayler lasted six years and produced two kids, Jett, now 12, and Bunny, 11.
It ended amid allegations he was unfaithful.
She married fourth hubby Lee Andrews just days after meeting him in January.
