Celebrity Big Brother U.K.<\/em> alum Katie Price<\/strong><\/a> reported husband Lee Andrews<\/strong> missing after he failed to return home following a trip to Dubai.<\/p>\n

\u201cLee has been missing for three days. The last time I heard from Lee was Wednesday night at 10 o\u2019clock,\u201d Price said in a May 16, 2026, YouTube<\/a> video. \u201cHe was trying to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The model, who has been married to Andrews since January, claimed she was unable to track<\/a> Andrews\u2019 location after May 13, further alleging that he had not been in contact with anyone in his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s definitely a missing person now,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if he\u2019s been kidnapped. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. So now no one can find him in any prison, police station, anything, anywhere in Dubai. The police just can\u2019t find any record of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When GMB<\/em> host Ed Balls<\/strong> asked Price if the rumors were true, the model denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I feel like they just said it to me in there [backstage] so I just said to Lee, \u2018apparently a British man has been detained, can you confirm it\u2019s not you?\u2019 He\u2019s done a voice note back and said it\u2019s not him and sent laughing emojis,\u201d she said during the interview. \u201cHe\u2019s at the airport and on his way. He had things to do, didn\u2019t make the flight, because of all his business stuff he has to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obviously, he phoned me before the location went off. He\u2019s in the middle of nowhere \u2026 obviously, I\u2019m worried like, what the hell\u2019s happened? Then Thursday came, still nothing. My messages weren\u2019t going through. It was just one tick.\u201d<\/p>\n
