None of his family have heard anything either. His dad is out in Dubai \u2013 he\u2019s heard nothing \u2013 and the rest of his family is in the UK and obviously so am I,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reported him to the British Embassy as a missing person. He\u2019s been reported missing in Dubai. I just don\u2019t know what to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last time Katie heard from the Dubai-based businessman was a week ago, when he sent her a text message. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeen arrested.

I\u2019m worried,\u201d she replied. <\/p>\n<p>Lee, Katie\u2019s fourth husband, claimed he had been forced into a van and taken to an unknown location, and that someone had his other phone. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a black site. I love you, I\u2019ll sort it. I\u2019m in the van, just being detained wtf,\u201d he wrote, begging Katie to contact the embassy and keep tracking his location. \u201cKeep that on babe.
