Reason Katie Price's Instagram suddenly disappeared amid husband Lee Andrews' 'disappearance'

He's been found, but her usual platform for updating people isn't working

Katie Price's Instagram page is currently down, and apparently there is a reason for it.

At time of writing if you try and look her up on the social media site it tells you her page isn't available, cutting short updates on her missing husband Lee Andrews.

He appears to have been found a couple of weeks after he disappeared, but unfortunately for him it sounds like he's in Al Awir prison in Dubai which has not been given a glowing recommendation from people who know what conditions are like in there.

The place has been described as 'hell' as reports claim up to 192 prisoners share a room and inmates can be denied access to medical care.

However, further updates on the situation from Price's Instagram may take a while since it's gone down, and according to The Sun the reason is because the account was placed under investigation by Meta for promoting CBD gummies and 'flashed some boob'.

One of their sources claimed: "It is all slightly ludicrous: you don’t follow Katie Price for home decor inspo or cake baking.

"The spotlight is on her like never before at the moment, so miserable keyboard warriors with nothing better to do write in to complain about her content.

"I don’t think anyone can really complain about a hint of boob when things like OnlyFans are in existence."

Price has a brand deal with a CBD gummy retailer which is why she promotes them on her page, and the Sun's source claims things should be back up and running before long once Meta investigates all the reports people have put in.

They reckoned it was 'a lot of fuss about nothing and just quite annoying'.

Katie Price's missing husband: a timeline

12 May: Missed UK television appearance

The Dubai businessman, originally from Manchester, is supposed to be on an episode of Good Morning Britain alongside his wife.

When asked if Andrews got arrested at the airport, Price says: "No. You know, they just said it to me in there.

"So, I just said, 'Lee, apparently a British man has been detained. Can you just confirm that it's not you?' Because I obviously know it's not him.

"So, he's just done a voice note back and laughing emojis. 'No, it's not me' and a voice note. And he's just sent me pictures."

In a vlog on her YouTube channel, Price shares footage of herself calling Andrews after her GMB appearance, telling him: "None of them believe you're coming at all. The fact is, you've just got to get here and prove everyone wrong.

"They're like, 'Kate, do you know anything about this man?'"

13 May: Last known contact

Price says on her channel that Andrews is 'at the airport going through the border control to get his exit stamp'.

"So, he said he's 100 percent, a billion percent, coming today," she adds.

14–16 May: Communication suddenly stops

Price says she and Andrews are normally in 'constant contact' and it's 'worrying' that she can't get through to him on the phone.

"We're now wondering, as far-fetched as it is, he's a missing person," she adds. "I don't know if he's been kidnapped."

16 May: Price pleads 'please help me find my husband'

Over the weekend, Price says, 'the truth is, Lee has been missing for three days'.

"Lee was trying to get through the border near Hatta and, oh God, this is so discombobulating," she continues. "His location went off at 10:03, Wednesday night, that's the last contact anyone's had, his family and me.

"This is the third day now, obviously, he phoned me before the location went off. He's in the middle of nowhere, obviously, I'm worried."

Price adds that 'the last FaceTime call I had with him… he had ties around his hand and a hood'

"He sounded really worried and said like whispering, ‘They're coming for me now. They're coming for me. I've got to go’,” she explains.

17–18 May: Missing person report filed

According to The Sun, a missing person report has been lodged by his family at the British Embassy in Dubai.

"Lee is officially a missing person now," a source tells the outlet.

"Katie is in constant contact with his family and is desperately worried. And she’s mortified — she’s seen people calling it a stunt and that she must be in on it, but she’s absolutely not.

"This is such a worrying, upsetting situation."

19 May: Accusations emerge that Andrews is on the run

In a lengthy expose published by The Sun, journalist Clemmie Moodie accuses Andrews of scamming her out of £1,000, as well as claiming that he is 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 claims. "He is not dead. He is not in jail. And he has not been detained."

"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 alleges.

This follows claims from numerous partners that Andrews scammed them out of money, which he denies.

Price details final FaceTime call with Andrews, denies 'publicity stunt' accusations

Price says 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 explains.

Price denies accusations that this is a publicity stunt, calling the claims 'disgusting'.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for FCDO has given the following statement to LADbible Group: "We are supporting the family of a British man and are in contact with the local authorities."

20 May: Price clears up rumours that Andrews was online on social media

Former Apprentice contestant Luisa Zissman, who has joined the search for Andrews, pointed out how Lee's social media appeared to have been active.

However, it seems this possible clue turned into a dead end as Price posted that she had access to her husband's Facebook account, so she was responsible for the recent activity.

"I have Lee's Facebook, it's not him on this it's me," she wrote, as the search continues.

23 May: Andrews' dad claims he's been arrested in Dubai

"Lee is OK. He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest. I don't know on what charge," his dad Peter claims to the Daily Mail. "I'm not sure where he is being held. But he will call me later today."

However, Price responds to the claims on Instagram, writing: "THIS IS FAKE NEWES [sic] LEE IS STILL MISSING ME AND HIS FAMILY KNOW WHATS GOING ON AND WORKING WITH THE AUTHORITIES INVOLVED."

Peter doubles down that his son is 'not at my house' as Andrews had been living with him before he became involved with Price.

Meanwhile, Price releases a song on Instagram, writing: "Missing my husband so much it breaks my heart knowing he is still missing so I did this song quick as words mean so much to the situation."

24 May: A source tells The Sun that Andrews' phone has been turned back on

A source tells The Sun: "I had been messaging Lee and was getting no response.

"But on Sunday morning, my messages had gone from a single tick to a double – so that device is back on and being used. Lee has multiple phones but this is the one that is being used now."

27 May: Price claims she has found her husband

Price tells The Sun that she had a two-minute call with him, allegedly from prison in Dubai.

“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.”
