Katie Price's fourth 'wedding ceremony not legally binding' as man who married them reveals shock detail
Katie Price is meant to have married Lee Andrews, but it might not have been official
The wedding between Katie Price and Lee Andrews was not legally binding, as the person who conducted the ceremony said he was a 'showman' and didn't actually have the legal authority to marry two people together.
Price only recently announced her engagement to businessman Andrews, the ninth engagement of her life, but only a few days later she was pictured getting married to him at a ceremony in Dubai.
All of this has been happening just a few weeks after she split from partner JJ Slater, with The Sun reporting that she got married to her new man 'without telling anyone' and her family have been shocked by this appearing to come out of nowhere.
They don't know who he is and his social media activity is full of images that appear to be AI generated, but he says he's 'CEO of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027'.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail spoke to the celebrant who performed the wedding ceremony, Darryl Rees, who told them it was a 'symbolic ceremony' and wasn't legally binding, but added they might have gone and had it made legal later on.
Rees is a part-time DJ from Swansea who has for several years been conducting showy wedding ceremonies in Dubai, but the actual legal marriage typically takes place later on as the newlyweds get all the official stuff done elsewhere.
"I'm a showman, you have to go to court to have it legalised," he told the Mail as he explained that the ceremony he performed was just a show and if Price and Andrews wanted to be legally married they'd have to do it somewhere else.
Whether or not they actually have made things between them legal and official is unclear, but Rees said they might have mentioned something about getting it done the following day.
He said: "They got engaged on the Friday and two days later, I'm standing in front of them, marrying the couple
"From my point of view, they seemed like a lovely couple. They appeared very much smitten by each other. When I was speaking to Lee initially, he was clearly head over heels for Katie and very excited to marry the girl.
"And Katie seemed very taken with him as well. They were both looking into each other's eyes the whole time when I was doing the reading, never looked away, just transfixed like any couple would be, madly in love.
"I think they mentioned that they were going to get the wedding legalised the day after on the Monday."
So it's entirely possible that after their showy ceremony officiated by Rees they went and signed all the boring bits of marriage and are now officially hitched together.
