Katie Price has already paid out her first sum of money to Lee Andrews, fuelling her family’s fears that he may be scamming her

Katie Price has reportedly gone a step further in her whirlwind romance by putting down a deposit on a house in Dubai with her new husband Lee Andrews, despite mounting fears from her family that she could be heading into serious trouble.

The former glamour model, 47, reunited with Lee, 43, in the UAE over the weekend, just weeks after the pair shocked fans by tying the knot only days after meeting. What was initially meant to be a short honeymoon has now stretched on, with Katie remaining in Dubai far longer than planned.

According to reports, Katie has already signed a contract and paid a deposit on a property in Dubai with Lee, a move that has reportedly left her closest friends and family deeply uneasy. Those close to the star fear she may be “splashing the cash” too quickly and worry the situation could be a potential scam.

A source claimed Katie is convinced she has finally found her happy ending, but said her loved ones are alarmed by how fast things are moving. They suggested that concerns are only natural, given what some of Lee’s ex-partners have publicly alleged about him.

It has also been claimed Katie was meant to return to the UK just two days after flying out to see Lee, but instead chose to stay behind, saying she was busy planning their future together. The decision has only heightened anxieties among those closest to her.

The couple’s relationship has already been surrounded by controversy. Previous reports have alleged Lee spent weeks in a UAE jail over claims he forged an ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a large loan in her name — accusations he strongly denies. Despite earlier plans to travel or return to the UK, Lee is believed to still be in the UAE.

In recent days, the couple shared a series of heavily filtered romantic photos on social media, proudly showing off matching tattoos, including Lee’s “spiritual” number 11.11. The posts came shortly after Katie publicly defended her husband against growing criticism.

Katie has insisted she knows exactly what she is doing, brushing off warnings from fans and family alike. She recently said she was fully aware of what people were saying, stressing that she is not naïve and will make her own decisions.

Still, the rapid pace of the marriage, the property purchase, and the unanswered questions surrounding Lee’s past have left many wondering whether this latest chapter in Katie’s life could end in heartbreak.
