Katie Price has revealed what her husband, Lee Andrews, told her from prison in Dubai.
Katie’s husband, Lee, whom she married just days after meeting for the first time, was arrested in Dubai just as they were set to appear on the ITV show ‘This Morning’ back in Britain, to discuss their relationship.
While Katie believed that her husband was actually kidnapped, it was eventually revealed that he was, in fact, arrested — and now new claims are emerging that her husband needs to pay £100,000 to be freed.
Speaking about her last phone conversation with Lee, Katie said that time was ‘running out’ and she’s hoping to visit him in prison by the end of the week.
‘I’m absolutely knackered, it’s the second morning because I spoke to Lee yesterday and he wants me to go to the Al Awir prison because he’s given me permission to get all his phones, his belongings,’ Katie said.
‘I’m going there [the prison] now. I still need to hear back from his lawyer about whether I can visit him. It’s Wednesday, and I go on Friday… time’s running out.’
Katie added that she now has a Dubai number, meaning she can contact Lee, but she’s still not sure when or if she’ll see him again.
‘I’m feeling knackered today, I’m excited, but excited for what? Because I don’t know if I’m seeing Lee, but at least I now know he can ring me,’ she said.
‘I’ve got the Dubai number, so at least I know he can ring me.’
It was reported that Lee will need to pay over £100,000 to be released from prison in Dubai, with a source saying that she’s ‘desperate’ to free her husband.
‘Katie’s desperately trying to get Lee out of prison,’ a source told The Sun. ‘Despite everything that’s gone on, Lee is her husband, and Katie wants to get him out and get the answers she so badly needs.
‘She has been to the prison a number of times now, including going there today, to try to get the paperwork sorted to secure his release.’
‘To be released, Lee will have to pay over £100,000. He is confident he can get the cash and has assured Katie she won’t need to pay anything.’
It has been reported that Andrews is being detained over what has been described as a private civil matter.
