Katie Price has been left desperately worried after her husband Lee Andrews was officially declared missing, five days after she last heard from him.
The former glamour model, who married Lee in January after a whirlwind ten-day romance, previously said she feared he may have “been kidnapped” after allegedly being detained near the Oman border close to Hatta.
Katie claimed their last contact came at around 10pm on Wednesday, when Lee was travelling through the border area in Dubai. Moments later, she said, his phone location switched off and the device “went dead.”
A source close to Katie said: “Lee is officially a missing person now. Katie is in constant contact with his family and is desperately worried.”
They added: “And she’s mortified — she’s seen people calling it a stunt and that she must be in on it, but she’s absolutely not. This is such a worrying, upsetting situation.”
Lee’s family are understood to have filed a report at the British Embassy in Dubai, where the businessman lives.
Katie said she had also contacted the “head of CID in Dubai,” who was unable to find any record of Lee being detained in a prison or police station.
In an emotional YouTube update, Katie said: “The last time I heard from Lee was Wednesday night at 10pm, he was trying to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to me.”
She added: “His location went off at 10.03pm on Wednesday night, that’s the last contact anyone has had – his family and myself.”
Katie then made the chilling claim that Lee had FaceTimed her wearing a hood and said: “I’ve just been captured or arrested,” before telling her “they’re coming back for me.”
The drama comes after Lee failed to board a flight to the UK ahead of a planned Good Morning Britain appearance with Katie.
Katie had earlier admitted she hated “waiting about” and said she would be “very disappointed” if he failed to come after promising “one billion per cent” that he was travelling.
Adding further tension, Lee’s ex Alana Percival later claimed he had pulled a similar airport “stunt” on her in the past.
Katie has also sparked speculation about the state of the marriage after appearing without her wedding ring and deleting some recent reunion photos from Instagram. However, she previously insisted Lee had simply stepped back from social media because of “trolling,” “speculation” and the “media frenzy.”
For now, Katie says she has no answers — only fear, confusion and a desperate wait for news.
