Katie Price Shuts Down Haters Over Husband's Disappearance

When your spouse goes missing, the last thing you need is strangers on the internet suggesting you orchestrated the whole thing for clicks. Yet that’s exactly what Katie Price is dealing with right now—and she’s had enough.

The former model and Celebrity Big Brother UK star has been thrust into a genuinely unsettling situation. Her husband, Lee Andrews, whom she married in January 2026 in a Dubai ceremony, disappeared after last speaking to her on May 13. According to Price’s account, Andrews told her he had ties around his hands in the back of a van and was being taken to a black ops site in the UAE. Since then, nothing. No contact from him, no word from his family in the UK, and no updates from his father who’s on the ground in Dubai searching for answers.

The couple was supposed to appear together on Good Morning Britain on May 12, but Andrews didn’t show. At the time, his absence seemed explainable—travel hiccups, business commitments in Dubai where he’s lived since the early 2000s. But by May 16, Price revealed the darker version of events. She reported him missing to the British embassy and UAE authorities. The Foreign Office confirmed they were supporting his family and in contact with local authorities.

And yet, despite an active missing persons investigation, rumors began circulating that this was all some elaborate publicity stunt. Enter Price’s frustration. On Thursday, May 21, she addressed followers directly, calling such speculation disgusting. She’s also been clear: this isn’t a made-up drama. His family has heard nothing. His dad has heard nothing. She has heard nothing since May 13.

Price’s reaction—stepping back from social media for her own mental health—makes perfect sense. When you’re genuinely worried about someone’s safety, the last thing you want is the internet’s cynicism piling on top of your fear. She’s got work ahead of her and life to manage, but right now, she’s dealing with real uncertainty. And that’s a situation nobody deserves to have weaponized as content.
