Katie Price has furiously hit out at claims that her husband Lee Andrews’ disappearance is a publicity stunt in a new video five days after he first vanished.
The former glamour model, 47, shared an update on her fourth husband Lee’s ‘kidnapping’ on Tuesday as she revealed she still hasn’t heard from him.
It was reported last night that Katie is fearful she has been ‘ghosted’ by Lee and will never hear from him again, five months after they married in a whirlwind romance.
However in the new clip she made a plea to the public and media to help her find her partner, as she shared her distress and ‘sky high anxiety’ with fans.
Katie, who was seen still wearing her wedding ring yesterday, addressed speculation that she could be ‘in on’ Lee vanishing, telling viewers: ‘I’m really upset everyone thinks I’m in on this. Are you guys actually joking?’.
Reacting to reports that Lee has faked his disappearance, Katie told fans: ‘This is not a publicity stunt. This is real. And anyone who thinks that I’m part of this is disgusting.
‘I’m now relying on the media to help me put out there that Lee is missing. If someone knows where he is, then please come to me or come to the newspapers and we can find him.
‘If there’s anything I can say more to the press or the public, just get it everywhere that Lee is missing. We need to find him.

‘And that’s all I can say. Just please help find him. And then when we find him, I’m sure there’ll be an explanation or something when we know exactly what’s gone on. Until then, he’s been silent for 5 days, gone off grid for 5 days.
‘And that’s not normal for anyone. I know there’s all this stuff online that he’s a con man, he’s a scammer, but I just want to say to everyone, I want to find him. So, just keep your eyes open. And I’m really upset and distressed that everyone thinks I’m in on this. Are you guys actually joking?’
‘Like, come on, give me some credit. Why would I do that? I’m not listening to all the noise. What’s going on out there? Because think about it. If this was you, it’s not a nice situation to be in at all.’
At the start of her vlog which she shared to YouTube, she told fans: ‘I’m here to do an update about Lee. This is a really difficult time for me at the moment. Um, it’s been five days now since I’ve heard anything from Lee.
‘None of his family have heard anything from Lee. His dad’s out in Dubai, has heard nothing and the rest of his family is in the UK and obviously me. We have reported him to the British embassy as a missing person.
‘He’s been reported in Dubai as a missing person. I just don’t know what to say. The last time, you know, I heard from, as I said was Wednesday at 10pm.
‘I’ve been reading his last few messages and I’ve heard nothing. My anxiety levels are sky high. If there is anyone in Dubai or you know anyone in Dubai and you spot him, see him, just I don’t know because I don’t know where he is because the last thing I know his hands were tied.
‘He had a hood over his head, not fully over, and he was in the back of a van. And that’s all I know. The police can’t find him anywhere where he’s been detained. No phone calls have been made.’
‘So, I don’t know where he is. And yeah, it’s a really difficult time for me at the moment. I know there’s going to be stories coming out now because obviously it’s a hot topic, but at the end of the day, guys, I have feelings and people just respect that.
‘It’s really not nice for me to be going through all of this at all. I just want to know someone help find him. I don’t I don’t know where is. I don’t know what’s happened to him and it’s been five days and it’s really distressing.
‘I want to thank everyone for all their messages, my family support, my friend support.’

Katie, who was spotted out shopping yesterday wearing her ring, continued: ‘All I can do is just keep myself busy and look after myself, look after my head, and just get on with each day as I can because still have to get on with life. Just waiting for a phone call.’
Sharing her thanks for the supportive messages so far, she said: ‘I want to thank everyone for all their kind messages, their supportive messages. And at the end of the day, guys, I am only human.
‘I’m a tough girl. I’m a survivor. But I’ve never been in a situation like this. I don’t think many people have been in a situation like this where all of a sudden the last message you get FaceTime from your husband in a back of van, a dirty old van.
‘The thoughts in my mind was to his face on that FaceTime and then he’s gone. His location’s gone. That’s all what’s going in my mind. that last thought. Um, so yeah, when I get some more news, I’ll update you.
‘I’m just hoping now, you know, two more days, it’s a week, but no one can find him. Luckily, I’ve got a really, really, really good support network around me.
‘I’ve got like my family, my mum, my dad, my sister, my brother, and my close friends. Yeah, I’ve got a good support network around me.
‘No one needs to worry about me in any way, shape or form because I always keep my head, mind, body, and soul in check as I have done for a long time.
‘But it’s just the unknown and the anxiety because I I just don’t know where he is,you know? Five days. It’s gone 5 days just cut off. It is distressing.
‘So, I thought I’d update you because I know there’s lots of things flying about, Tik Toks, Instagrams, media speculation, but you’re hearing it from me.’
Insisting it is her that people should be listening to for updates, Katie said: ‘I know what’s going on, and that’s who you have to listen to.
‘What everyone has to remember, as much as everyone’s like trying to take the piss out of everything and speculate this and speculate that, this isn’t a game. This is real life. This is a serious situation for me.
‘So, everyone who are trying to speculate, take the p***, make jokes, just think of other people’s feelings here. It’s not nice because this isn’t a game.’
Katie admitted she is worried that she will never know what has happened to Lee.
She said: ‘This is real. This isn’t a scandal. This is something that’s really happening. And there are real feelings involved here. And I’m now anxious that will he be found? Like every day you’re like, is it going to is this today? Am I going to hear today? Am I going to hear? I now don’t know if this is going to go on for weeks, months, years, or never. That’s now what’s going through my mind because five days is a long time for someone to go missing.
‘Like I’ve said before, the police have come back and they can’t find him anywhere. And I know I said the other day, you know, has he been kidnapped or a ransom or something, but again, no one’s come to me. If it was a ransom, no one’s come to me.
‘And I know Dubai is a safe place. Every time I’ve gone to Dubai, I feel safe there. like you don’t hear about crimes. You don’t hear about anything.
‘I regard Dubai a lot lot safer than England. I love Dubai. So I, you know, if the the police can’t find him anywhere, I I’ve no idea where he is and what’s happened.
‘I’ve got all different thoughts going through my mind.’
Lee’s ex girlfriend Alana Percival has spoken in detail about the elaborate scams she says she was victim to during their relationship
Katie’s video comes just as Lee’s ex girlfriend Alana Percival spoke in detail about the elaborate scams she was victim to during their relationship.
Alana issued a fresh warning to Katie, revealing the cons she says Lee pulled throughout their relationship last year.
Lee connected with Alana on Facebook last March and he showered her with a Louis Vuitton handbag, Cartier jewellery and transferred thousands of pounds, with Alana explaining how she was ‘love bombed’ by the businessman.
He proposed in September and the set-up was identical to Katie’s engagement at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, which took place just 16 weeks later.
Alana first started to suspect all was not as it seemed when Lee refused to invite her to his house, with the couple instead spending their time in hotels or at his father’s Dubai home.
‘He kept saying “I don’t want to take you to my house just yet. I live on the Palm in this massive house but the thing is I don’t want to show you what I have until I trust there’s an actual connection, because I have been used in the past,”‘ Alana told the Block, Delete, Move On podcast.
In the summer of 2025, four months into their relationship, Alana flew back home to the UK to visit her family, with Lee ‘promising’ he would join her, only to claim he couldn’t travel because ‘he was a flight risk or had business.’
When Alana extended her UK trip she claims an ‘angry’ Lee told her he had travelled to Bali to see ‘some of the top heart specialists in the world’ before telling her ‘I’m on borrowed time and I’m dying.’
She claims Lee told her: ‘”I’m going to go to this monk place, you won’t see me when you get back to Dubai. You can have the flat, it’s all for you. I was just testing you because I wanted to leave my money with someone and I wanted to make sure that you were genuine. I want to leave you with everything because I want you to have a good life.”‘
Alana then moved in with Lee into a flat in Dubai, under the impression she was living with a dying man. She claims Lee told her “I’m on borrowed time, there’s nothing the heart specialists can do, it could be a year, it could be ten years.”
Alana said she has spoken out to warn Katie, admitting ‘I just worry for her welfare, I worry he’ll maybe end up getting her arrested or a flight ban. He obviously has no remorse toward anyone.’
‘I just want to tell her to please just listen. I was the same because I was like “oh he’s done nothing wrong to me” until the cracks started to show. I don’t want it to get to that stage for her, but it will happen because it hasn’t just happened to me, it’s happened to multiple exes.’
She added that she thinks Lee has ‘gone silent now because he’s backed into a corner.’
Alana also claimed that Lee’s father has been wrapped up in his web of deceit.
She said: ‘I’ve met his dad. His dad is a wonderful person.
‘He’s an older man, in a way I really feel for him because I think he’s scared of Lee and he’s manipulated by him. He holds on to the promises that Lee keeps telling him, such as I’ll pay you back for the money we lost or I’ll transfer you this and that.
‘His dad is stuck in Dubai with nobody, with not a lot of money. For me when I was with him, because he knows how much my family mean to me. I call my dad two, three times a day. He started mirroring that, starting to care about his dad more and pretending that he actually cared.’
Recalling some of the lies that Lee told her during their relationship, Alana said that she now looks back and can’t believe she ever believed him.
Alana said: ‘He told me he had a contract with the Royals and something to do with the US treasury and Donald Trump. Now when I speak about it I’m like god, it’s amazing what manipulation and love bombing can do to you. When I look back I think how did I believe that. Still now I’m healing but when I see what he’s doing to Kate, I understand. When people say how can’t see she this, but I was the same.’
Katie has been ghosted by her husband Lee Andrews and fears she may never hear from him again, according to reports
Detailing when the spell began to break, Alana said: ‘I spoke to Crystal [Lee’s ex]. We had just got engaged. He was scamming her. He had paid for everything through her money. My ring, my car, the engagement ceremony.
‘I worry for Kate because the more she questions him the more volatile he gets, because he becomes backed into a corner. He becomes not nice.
‘He will make her brain toxic towards me because that is how I felt towards his exes.
‘I found out a lot about him when I was in prison. I spoke to his dad, I said “if I was your daughter what would you tell me to do, would you tell me to leave or stay?” He said “I would tell you to leave because everything he touches turns to s**t”.
‘One day we had an argument and it turned volatile. He went out the next morning and I rung my best friend, I was shattered to pieces, I said please can you help me pack I’ve got about two hours. I ran, I didn’t tell him I was going, I packed up my suitcase and I left. I got home and I felt so relieved. It took me a while, we were still in contact, I was so used to the chaos.’
After returning to the UK, Alana said it was 16 weeks before she found out he was engaged to Katie, which was a replica of her own engagement.
She explained: ‘Nothing was authentic, it was all copy and paste.’
Sharing her own message for Katie, who she says is now in the same position as she was, Alana said: ‘Lee damages you. It does turn volatile. I just worry for her welfare. I worry he’ll maybe end up getting her arrested or a flight ban. That’s who he is, he has no remorse towards anyone. I just want to tell her please just listen.
‘I was the same because I was like “oh he’s done nothing wrong to me”, until the cracks start to show. I don’t want to get to that stage for her, it will happen because it hasn’t just happened to me, it’s happened to multiple exes.’
Sharing her theory on why Lee has now vanished, Alana said: ‘I think he underestimated how loved Katie was and how many eyes would be on her.
‘I think he underestimated it massively and that’s why he’s gone quiet. He’s backed into a corner. How many times can you keep lying? There’s been so much that has been found out about him. He’s getting caught out left, right and centre. It’s all over the internet and the news. He doesn’t care about being hated.
‘Even the filtered photos, the photos with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian, he’s ill. He’s always wanted to be famous and be in the public eye. He’s obsessed with Instagram. Everything I see reminds me of my own relationship with him.’
But fresh reports last night claimed that Lee has not been kidnapped as Katie feared and is instead squatting in a run-down villa in Dubai.
He is said to be only talking to a few of his trusted network on a burner phone and ‘frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in’.
Lee was due to reunite with Katie for a Good Morning Britain interview on Monday, but failed to get on a flight and later claimed he had ‘things to do’ but was still on his way. He also firmly denied reports he had a travel ban.
Katie, who wed Lee in January following a whirlwind ten-day romance, then branded their relationship a ‘soap opera’ after he became radio silent and did not travel to the UK.
The Sun has reported the Dubai-based businessman is wanted by Interpol, after Hertfordshire Police – who had been previously investigating claims from an ex-girlfriend – escalated their case.
A heartbroken Katie, meanwhile, is said to have been on the phone to lawyers over the past 24 hours, seeking counsel.
Assistant Editor of The Sun, Clemmie Moodie, also claims she is the latest of Lee’s victims, after being conned out of £1,000.
She reports Katie was also promised money from Lee and had showed her cheques he’d seemingly deposited into her account, but the funds never emerged.
Additionally, she was said to have been handed a credit card, which didn’t work. The television personality is said to have believed this was due to an incorrect pin.
But now, Katie is said to be ‘horrified’ by the claims Lee has allegedly conned another woman out of £1,000 and ultimately wants to track him down.
Earlier on Tuesday, Katie’s desperate attempts to get Lee to their joint Good Morning Britain interview were revealed in a new chaotic behind the scenes video.
A vlog uploaded by Katie documented the day that initially sparked the bizarre and ongoing ‘missing husband’ saga amid his current mysterious disappearance.
He was due to travel to the UK to reunite with his wife last Monday, but failed to get on a flight, later claiming he had ‘things to do’ but was still on his way. He has repeatedly firmly denied reports he had a travel ban.
Last week Katie vlogged her day heading to GMB for the interview which Lee was meant to attend.

As she got ready in the kitchen of her Sussex home before getting into a cab to head to London for the show she said to the camera: ‘I’m doing Good Morning Britain. Lee was supposed to fly here yesterday as you know.
‘And he hasn’t so he is supposed to be coming today. So the show must go on. GMB still want me on the show, they don’t want him on via Zoom, so I’m going on my own.’
Insisting he would still travel later that day Katie added: ‘Lee didn’t get the flight. But he’s coming today. He was meant to fly. People are saying he is on a flight ban. It is what it is. The show must go on.
‘I am going to get interrogated on TV as everyone think he’s on a flight ban. But I can handle anything. But he is at the airport now. But everyone has it in for Lee…’.
After the TV appearance she was seen chatting to her mum Amy, as she asked her why Lee wasn’t with her.
Katie then told her: ‘He’s at the airport now. Look if he doesn’t come he is digging a hole for himself. What else can I say. It is what it is, I have to go now bye…’
The next part of the video then shows Katie on the phone to Lee after the show as she tells him: ‘None of them believe that you’re coming they were asking me about it on the show. Everyone is dying to see you on that couch.
‘Everyone keeps telling me ‘he’s not coming’. The fact is you have to just get here and prove them all wrong.’
