The fantasist who swept Katie Price off her feet while presenting himself as a self-made billionaire is in reality a male escort charging wealthy women in Dubai almost £1,000 an hour for ‘massage’ services, the Daily Mail can reveal.
Katie, 47, supposedly tied the knot for the fourth time to Lee Andrews in a lavish ceremony in the desert kingdom after a whirlwind one-week romance.
But it quickly emerged that many of the claims Andrews about his past he may have used to impress her are open to question – while one he presumably didn’t mention turns out to be all too true.
Because the Daily Mail has learned that Andrews advertises online in Dubai as a ‘sexy educated professional from GB’, charging a minimum £940 per hour to visit ‘discerning professional women and high-level clients seeking more than just companionship’.
The 43-year-old’s profile on the site ‘Massage Republic’, where he goes by the name ‘Noah’, reads: ‘With a commanding presence and an effortless charm, I navigate the social elite with grace, ensuring that every encounter is tailored to your desires.
‘My polished demeanor, combined with an attentive nature, creates a safe haven where ambition meets intimacy.
‘Whether it’s an elegant dinner overlooking the skyline or a private escape in a lavish hotel suite, I provide an experience that transcends the ordinary, igniting passion and connection in an atmosphere of sophistication and discretion.’
Andrews denied that the profile was his in a series of rambling voice notes sent to the Daily Mail, insisting it was a ‘vicious attack’ and had nothing to do with him.

It comes as it was revealed Lee proposed to ex Alana Percival just four months ago – and recreated the exact same set-up when he got down on one knee to Katie (pictured)
He said: ‘I can assure you that’s definitely not me. I don’t know anything about that. Whatever rates or numbers they’ve put is definitely not me – that is absolutely fake as it could be.
‘It could be a disgruntled ex or something like that, so I do not know anything about that.’
But the Daily Mail has established that the account advertising as ‘Noah’ could not have been created or verified without Andrews’ direct involvement.
His Massage Republic listing is fully verified – a process that requires the account holder to submit a live photo through the site while holding a piece of paper with a unique number provided by the platform, which moderators then manually match to the profile images.
Every photograph on the account carries a verified badge.
The profile is also linked to Andrews’ personal mobile number, verified via two-factor authentication.
Crucially, it is the same mobile number he used to deny the claims to the Daily Mail.
That means the account could not have been set up or authenticated by a third party without access to both his live camera and his phone, and without physically matching his appearance.
Katie Price’s spokeswoman initially pushed back when the Daily Mail put the escort profile to her, questioning whether it could be verified as genuinely belonging to Andrews.
After being shown evidence linking the account to his verified photographs and personal mobile number, she did not dispute the claim.
In a brief reply, she said: ‘Ok… no comment.’
Although Andrews’s side hustle as an escort does not feature on his professional networking or social media profiles, this is hardly out of modesty – he instead grandly styles himself as ‘a global magnate and philanthropist’.
On Monday, Daily Mail also revealed that many of Lee’s so-called business accomplishments are a farce, with much of the images of him with high-profile stars assessed as AI
The model tied the knot in an intimate ceremony over the weekend just days after getting engaged, with sources saying even her family were unaware of the star’s new relationship
Kissing her engagement ring, Katie bragged to her followers: ‘Despite all the noise that’s going on, I miss you Lee, I love you unconditionally. And yes it’s on the right hand’
But we soon discovered that far from a jet-setting business tycoon with a PdD from Cambridge, Andrews is in fact a Nottinghamshire comprehensive-school educated scratching a living by entertaining well-off women in the Gulf.
The Daily Mail investigated the claims that do feature on his social media and LinkedIn profiles, and rapidly found nearly all to be dubious at best.
Weslee Andrews, to use his full first name, claims to be the CEO of ‘Aura Sustainable Vehicles & Energy / Aura Worldwide Holding Co (BVI)’.
But photos of the ‘company’s’ various products appear to be AI-generated, including one supposedly featuring Andrews alongside Tesla chief Elon Musk.
He also claims to have rubbed shoulders with Kim Kardashian yet the only evidence for this is an AI-generated clip of Kardashian supposedly signing some of his company’s merchandise, a baseball cap.
Andrews says Aura has ‘already reached a Market Cap of $1.3B’, and that he has ‘two successful companies already listed on the NY stock exchange & the London FTSE’.
A ‘market cap’ is the market capitalisation or value of a publicly traded company. He presents Aura as privately held, yet there is no listing for Aura on either the New York or London stock exchanges. Neither does the company have a website.
In fact there seems to be no evidence that it even exists at all.
In 2021, a genuine project to develop an electric car called an Aura was launched by auto designer Carsten Astheimer Ltd in the UK, but there does not appear to be any connection to Andrews in any of the company documents. The Mail has contacted Astheimer.
It’s also not clear where ‘Dr’ Andrews received his ‘PhD in biotechnology science’, but it wasn’t Cambridge, despite liberal mentions of ‘Cambridge University’ on what appear to be AI-generated profiles on websites calling themselves ‘Formidable Men Monthly’ and ‘Polo and Lifestyle’.
Then he claims to be ‘director of philanthropy’ at King Charles’s charity the Prince’s Trust, now called the King’s Trust, which told us he is not registered with them.
Sir Keir Starmer will no doubt be reassured to learn that Lee sits on the ‘Board of Advisors’ of the Labour Party, and has done so for nearly 11 years, even though no such body appears to exist.
On the social media site Threads in May last year, he posted a photograph of him with a giant cheque for $150million which he appeared to be handing to Sheikh Ahmed bin Faisal Al Qassimi to invest in sustainable energy.
Yet no such corresponding announcement was issued by the Sheikh’s own office – and closer examination shows the picture is again AI generated.
He refers on LinkedIn to a ‘patronage memorandum agreement with the Al Qassimi Royal office’. These are self-posted assertions on his own social platforms, which are not independently verified nor backed up by any formal press releases, government announcements, or business news sources.
The only place where this supposed Royal tie-up is discussed is what appears to be a poorly-spelt, self-written (or possibly AI-generated) article in Polo and Lifestyle Magazine, in which he is quoted as saying: ‘I’ve been most fortunate to partner with the UAE royal family office adding brand value to the county (sic) and increasing our company exposure particularly in line with sustainable incentives of being net zero carbon emissions by 2030 in the this region.
‘This works extremely well together as we each share the same vision and wish to solve a problem for humanity as we extend past country boarders (sic) strongly.’
He claims to be majority shareholder/shareholder since 2000 of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated.
His Instagram also features an AI-generated clip of Kardashian signing some of his company’s merchandise, a baseball cap
In May last year, he posted an AI photograph of him with a giant cheque for $150million which he appeared to be handing to Sheikh Ahmed bin Faisal Al Qassimi to invest in sustainable energy
His LinkedIn profile describes him grandly as ‘associate member and supporter of His Majesty’s Government’
Yet this claim is demonstrably false because, as the MacAndrews & Forbes website says, it is ‘Wholly owned by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ronald O. Perelman’.
He claims to be a ‘senior board member”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/”seated board member’ of TopBuild Corporation, which is listed on the NYSE as BLD). But does not appear on the company website or its list of directors submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington DC.
He claims to be Founder of Blue Diamond Group Hotels & Resorts, but the company says it is and always has been Canadian owned and operated
He claims to have won Leader of the Year at the 2016 National Business Awards when in fact the accolade that year went to Greene King boss Rooney Anand.
He also claims to have ranked 3rd in Top Male & Female Internet of Things Influencers by Onalytica, 2018 when his name doesn’t appear anywhere in the top 100.
He further claims to have been listed in the Top 100 most creative people in Business 2018 by Fast Company, yet once again, he doesn’t appear on their list.
He claimed to have been awarded Veuve Clicquot Businessman of the Year 2017. Veuve Clicquot does not stage an award for men, only for women in business. That year it was won by Whitbread’s Alison Brittain.
The level of questionable claims on Andrews’ various profiles has prompted some on social media to wonder if the whole ‘wedding’ announcement may even be a prank
On tattle.life, one poster declared: ‘KP is playing a game either to get herself publicity, coin through traffic on her social media… This is pure desperation, the Price is up to something and so far the press are playing along with it.’
