The last message Katie Price heard from her husband was terrifying. On a FaceTime call on May 13, businessman Lee Andrews told her he’d been captured—that he had ties around his hands, a hood on his head, and was trapped in a van. Then his phone went dead at 10:03 p.m. Three days later, the Celebrity Big Brother U.K. alum posted a YouTube video revealing the nightmare scenario she’d been living: Lee was missing, and nobody could find him.
Andrews, who runs various business ventures in Dubai, had traveled there to sort out his wife’s visa and international driver’s license. He was supposed to appear on Good Morning Britain with Katie on May 12, but didn’t show. When rumors swirled that he’d been hit with a travel ban and detained, Katie initially dismissed them—Lee had sent her a voice note with laughing emojis saying it wasn’t him. But then came silence. No contact from Lee. No messages going through. His family couldn’t reach him either. When Katie tried to track his location, it simply vanished.
The situation escalated quickly. Katie reached out to authorities in Dubai, only to discover something chilling: there was no record of Lee anywhere. Not in any prison, police station, or holding facility. It’s as if he vanished into thin air. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office stepped in on May 18, releasing a statement that they’re supporting the family and working with local authorities on the investigation.
Of course, the internet being the internet, skeptics immediately accused Katie of orchestrating the whole thing as a publicity stunt. She fired back in another YouTube video:“This is real and anyone who thinks that I’m part of this is disgusting.”Whether you believe her or not, the facts remain deeply unsettling—a man missing for days with no official record, a final call describing captivity, and a wife frantically searching for answers. The case remains open, and as of now, Lee Andrews’s whereabouts are still unknown.
