Katie Price’s friend claims missing husband Lee Andrews whereabouts known
The Katie Price and Lee Andrews saga has taken another turn, as a friend of the former glamour model claims he 'has NOT been kidnapped'.
Ever since the artist formerly known as Jordan tied the knot with Andrews back in January, the pair have been a source of constant fascination for Brits.
First, there were eyebrows raised over Andrews' alleged AI-enhanced photos and questions over his business credentials, then the Dubai-based Brit failed to turn up for a scheduled joint interview with Price on Good Morning Britain.
Then, in a dramatic turn of events, Andrews was declared a 'missing person' by his family, with Price sharing concerns that he may have been 'kidnapped'.

And now, in yet another dramatic turn of events, a friend of the reality star has claimed that Andrews is not actually missing at all.
In a lengthy expose published by The Sun, journalist Clemmie Moodie accused Andrews of scamming her out of £1,000, as well as claiming that he was currently hiding out in Dubai.
"Lee has NOT been kidnapped; he is simply in hiding after also ghosting his devastated wife for the past six days," she claimed. "He is not dead. He is not in jail. And he has not been detained."
So, where is Andrews and what is he actually up to? Hiding out in a villa and working out how to dig himself out of a hole, according to the newspaper.
"He is squatting in a slightly run-down villa, frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in, and is understood to be liaising with his few trusted contacts on a 'burner phone'," the report alleged.
Andrews is yet to respond to any of the allegations published by The Sun.
This follows claims from numerous partners that Andrews had scammed them out of money – he has always denied this.
Meanwhile, Price has said that she hasn't spoken to Andrews since Wednesday night, telling fans in a recent YouTube update that he was attempting to leave the UAE.
"The last time I heard from him, he FaceTimed me, he had a hood on and said, ‘I've just been captured or arrested’ and had ties around his hand, not handcuffs, and said ‘they're coming back for me’," she said.
"We got in contact with the police out in Dubai. I’ve got a head of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) out there."
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for FCDO gave the following statement to LADbible: "We are supporting the family of a British man and are in contact with the local authorities."
How did Katie Price meet Lee Andrews?
In January, Price revealed that she and Andrews, who is based in Dubai, met on social media.
She told The Sun: “We connected [by] both checking each other’s socials and quickly realised, ‘Wow, this is for me’… in the old-fashioned way, first by words which captured us both.
“That evolved deeper as we connected further within days, [getting] matching tattoos, and then both deciding to buy rings for the other.”
Just days later, they revealed their engagement, with Price sharing a series of pics on Instagram. In one, rose petals spelt out ‘Will you marry me Katie?’ on the floor. Meanwhile, another saw Price wearing a huge diamond ring while holding onto Andrews’ hand, which appeared to have her name tattooed on it.
On 25 January, Price shared that they had got married, calling themselves the ‘happiest Mr & Mrs’ in an Instagram Story.
The Sun reports that she tied the knot 'without telling anyone' and her family have been shocked by this, appearing to come out of nowhere.
LADbible Group has contacted representatives of Katie Price and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for comment.
