Katie Price’s dramatic love story has turned into a chilling melodrama following her recent declaration that her husband, Lee Andrews, is now a “missing person” following an alleged kidnapping.
The former model claimed that when she spoke to Lee, he was in a van with “restraints around his hands.”
The couple were due to do their first joint television interview on Hello Great Britainbut Lee has not arrived in the UK despite earlier claims he would be there, leaving the mother-of-five alone to face the cameras.
Katie then described their relationship as a “soap opera” before implying the marriage was over by emerging without her wedding ring this week.
Today, Saturday, Katie took to her Youtube channel and claimed her husband was missing, insisting the situation was worse.
“It was posted on my Instagram that Lee was taking time off social media because of all the trolling, the media frenzy, the speculation, I put that up.”
Kate added: “Because the truth is Lee has been missing for three days. The last time I heard from Lee was Wednesday night at 10pm, he was trying to cross the border into Dubai to catch a flight for me.
“Lee was trying to cross the border near Hatta and, oh my God, it’s so disconcerting. His tracking was triggered at 10:03 p.m. Wednesday night, that’s the last contact me and his family had. It’s day three now, obviously he called me before the tracking went off. He’s in the middle of nowhere, obviously, I’m worried.”
“We wonder if he was kidnapped; he’s definitely a missing person now,” Katie said, adding that while she had no plans to speak publicly, she felt compelled to speak out after speculation about Lee’s arrest. However, she reiterated that there was no record of Andrews’ detention.
Katie said it was “disturbing” that the last time she spoke to Lee, on FaceTime, he was wearing a balaclava and informed her that he had been “captured, arrested or whatever”, adding:
“He had restraints around his hands, not handcuffs, and a hood, and he said, ‘Look, they’re coming for me,’ and that was the last FaceTime call I had. Then his phone died.
However, Katie was unsure whether to fly to Dubai as she is being supported by “professionals” to deal with the situation, saying it was “really weird”.
During her last call, Katie said Lee “looked worried” and whispered to her that people were “coming” for him.
Lee was previously subject to a travel ban, preventing him from leaving the United Arab Emirates.
Earlier this week, Katie completely dismissed any concerns about Lee’s travel ban and instead hoped he would be in the UK next week.
