Katie Price missing husband latest: ‘This is not a publicity stunt’ insists reality star who fears Lee Andrews has been kidnapped – UK Times

The TV personality revealed that none of Andrews’ family have heard from him and that she’s feeling “anxious” about when he’ll be found.

“I don’t know if this is going to go on for weeks, months, years or never. That’s now what’s going through my mind because five days is a long time for someone to go missing,” she said.

“All I can do is keep myself busy, look after myself, look after my head and just get on with each day. Because I still have to get on with life.”

Posting on Instagram on Monday, she filmed herself at Heathrow Airport, picking up some tissues for Andrews.

When I find him, he will be crying, probably need some therapy after his ordeal, his kidnapping.”

“So the plan is I’m just gonna go to a lot of warehouses and shout his name in hope that he comes to me.”

Price revealed on Saturday that she had reported Andrews as a missing person.

“I don’t really know where to begin but I know there’s all this speculation about Lee from when I met him,” she said in a YouTube video. “Something really, really serious has happened.”

At the time, she hadn’t heard from Andrews in three days. “We are now wondering, as far-fetched as it is, that he’s a missing person now, I don’t know if he’s been kidnapped,” she added. “No one can find him in any prison, any police station; the police can’t find any record of him.”

Katie Price has said that Lee Andrews’ disappearance is “not a publicity stunt” in a new update on her YouTube channel, posted on Tuesday.

Publishing the video on Tuesday morning, Price said: “This is real and anyone who thinks that I’m part of this is disgusting.”

Katie Price is said to be “in constant contact” with Lee Andrews’ family amid his disappearance and is “desperately worried”.

According to The Sun, she is also “mortified” by claims that his disappearance is a “stunt”, with some of her fans sceptical about the situation.

“She’s seen people calling it a stunt and that she must be in on it, but she’s absolutely not,” a source told the publication. “This is such a worrying, upsetting situation.”

Katie Price took to her podcast on Thursday – just days before announcing that he was missing – to speak about him failing to show up to their interview on ‘GMB’.

Speaking to her sister Sophie on the podcast, she said that he made her “look a massive d***”.

“If he does make it to England it will shut all the rumours up because at the moment, everyone thinks he’s on a flight ban, this and that,” she added. “I said it does look weird that you haven’t come to England and I keep going to Dubai.”

The couple were due to appear on Good Morning Britain together the day before his disappearance on Tuesday (12 May), however, Andrews failed to show up.

Price said at the time that Andrews was stuck at the airport, with GMB revealing that after asking the Foreign Office whether Andrews had a travel ban, the public body responded: “We supported a British man who was detained in the UAE.”

When host Ed Balls asked whether Andrews had been arrested, Price responded: “No, I feel like they just said it to me in there [backstage] so I just said to Lee, ‘apparently a British man has been detained, can you confirm it’s not you?’ He’s done a voice note back and said it’s not him and sent laughing emojis.

“He’s at the airport and on his way. He had things to do, didn’t make the flight, because of all his business stuff he has to do.”

Price revealed in her YouTube video on Saturday that she last spoke to husband Andrews on Wednesday night – and could see in a video that his hands were tied.

“He had ties around his hand, not handcuffs, and a hood, and he said, ‘Look, they’re coming back for me,’ that is the last FaceTime call I had,” she said.

“He was in a van, but the windows were white with a mesh. It looked like an old, dirty van.”

Earlier in the video, she suggested that he may have been “kidnapped”, adding: “He’s definitely a missing person now.”

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has spoke out about Lee Andrews’ disappearance, revealing that they are assisting his family’s search for him.

A spokesperson for the FCDO told The Independent on Monday: “We are supporting the family of a British man and are in contact with the local authorities.”

Price revealed that she asked her husband to spend more time in the UK after she found herself travelling to Dubai constantly.

Speaking on GMB on Tuesday, before Andrews’ disappearance, she said: “I’ve been in Dubai I only came back on Friday but because I can’t keep going to Dubai because obviously I’ve got work here and I’ve got kids here.

“I can’t keep going to Dubai so he’s now shifting over here so he’s going to spend a lot of time here now because I said, ‘Look, I keep flying to you, you’ve got to come to England now.’”
