Lee Andrews’s ex questions terminal illness claims amid Dubai arrest and kidnapping drama
Katie Price’s husband, Lee Andrews, is facing explosive new allegations after his former partner claimed he falsely told her he was terminally ill, adding another twist to the ongoing mystery surrounding his disappearance in Dubai.
The bizarre saga has spiralled into a web of kidnapping claims, fraud accusations, and conflicting statements from Andrews’ family and Price herself.
According to reports, Andrews’ former partner Alana Percival alleged that he convinced her he was seriously ill after the pair began dating last year. She claimed he told her he was “on borrowed time” after allegedly visiting heart specialists in Bali and suggested he planned to leave his fortune to her. Percival also alleged that Andrews showered her with luxury gifts, including designer handbags and jewellery, before proposing during what she described as a whirlwind romance.
She later claimed she discovered inconsistencies in his story and eventually fled the relationship, believing she had been deceived.
The allegations surfaced just days after Andrews became the focus of international headlines following reports that he had gone missing in Dubai.
Meanwhile, Andrews’ father, Peter Andrews, told British media that his son had not been kidnapped but was instead arrested by UAE authorities. He reportedly claimed he did not know the exact charges but suggested Lee was being held in custody in Dubai. Reports also cited police sources alleging there are multiple fraud-related cases against Andrews.
However, Katie Price publicly denied the arrest claims, calling them “fake news” in a social media statement. She insisted that Andrews remained missing and said both she and his family were continuing to work with authorities behind the scenes.
Price had earlier claimed Andrews contacted her through a FaceTime call and allegedly said he had been restrained and forced into the back of a vehicle.
The controversy deepened further after investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas reportedly questioned whether the disappearance was genuine, suggesting Andrews may have staged the incident himself.
Andrews, a Dubai-based businessman and bodybuilder, married Katie Price earlier this year after a whirlwind romance that quickly made headlines.
