Kerry Katona has delivered a quiet but pointed message — and it’s all happening online.
The former Atomic Kitten star has reportedly unfollowed Katie Price’s new husband, Lee Andrews, following claims of a heated altercation during a lavish Dubai honeymoon getaway. While no official statements of fallout have been made publicly by Kerry herself, insiders insist her social media move speaks volumes.
The drama unfolded during what was meant to be a celebratory trip, as Kerry and her boyfriend Paolo Margaglione joined Katie and Lee abroad. However, reports soon surfaced alleging that Lee and Paolo were involved in a fiery confrontation after Lee allegedly exchanged tense words with his new bride.
According to a source speaking to The Sun, the situation escalated quickly. The insider claimed: “Paolo appeared and stepped in. Lee seemed to be very angry and was shouting at him. It all got very heated and Lee threw some punches and one of them landed Paolo square on the head.”
Although Kerry was reportedly not present at the exact moment of the alleged clash, sources say she was left deeply upset by what unfolded. Another insider revealed: “She is still upset about what happened when they were all in Dubai together, and at the end of the day, her loyalties are with Paolo, not Katie and her new man. She is still on speaking terms with Katie and following her, but she doesn’t want anything to do with Lee now.”
Kerry has not publicly criticised Lee — but quietly unfollowing him appears to be her way of drawing a line.
Katie, however, has strongly denied that any punches were thrown. Taking to Instagram to address the swirling rumours, she said: “Hey everyone. Oh, my God. There is so much speculation at the moment going around about me and Lee. I don’t know what the fascination is, but one thing I will clear up, there has not been any punch ups, punches thrown between Lee and Paolo.”
She continued: “If anything, we had a really good day, and we celebrated with them, and that was it. Had a great day. I don’t know where these stories have come from. Lee has never, ever been aggressive, angry, or spoken to me in any sort of way.”
Doubling down on her support for her husband, Katie added: “We are so in love, and he is my absolute teddy bear. That’s what I call him, my teddy bear. And we can’t wait for when we get back to England to do a big wedding, when all our family friends and obviously Kerry and Paolo would be our special guests.”
Despite the public denial, tensions appear to linger beneath the surface.
Katie and Lee’s whirlwind romance — which saw them tie the knot just days after meeting — has already raised eyebrows among her family. Concerns have been voiced over the speed of their relationship, but her son Junior has publicly backed his mum, saying: “Our mum is her own person, she’s her own woman. She’s going to do what she’s going to do and at the end of the day, we’re supportive of her as long as she’s happy. As long as she’s happy that’s all I care about.”
Whether this Dubai drama marks a temporary blip or a deeper fracture between the couples remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: in showbiz, even an unfollow can set the internet alight.
