Katie Price's Husband Lee Andrews Reportedly Arrested Again in Dubai Weeks After Release

Katie Price's personal life has taken another dramatic turn as her husband, Lee Andrews, has reportedly been arrested again in Dubai, just weeks after his release from a local prison. The 42-year-old businessman was taken into custody by Dubai police on Friday, July 10, and transported to Lahbab police station, according to reports from The Mirror and other outlets . He is said to have been issued a fine of £120,000. The reported arrest comes while Price, a former glamour model and television personality, is in the United Kingdom promoting her new Sky documentary, Katie Price: Nothing To Hide. According to a friend cited by The Sun, Andrews, who is from the UK, expressed panic over the situation, stating, "They've arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out. We need to make a noise with a GoFundMe" . Sources close to Andrews claim he was under significant "stress" in the days leading up to the arrest as he scrambled to raise money to settle outstanding debts he believed he owed. This is the second time in recent months that Andrews has found himself in legal trouble in Dubai. He was first reported missing in May 2026 after failing to appear for a scheduled interview with Price. The saga took several twists, with Price first suggesting he had been kidnapped, then later stating he was being held in Dubai's Al Awir prison on suspicion of espionage, a claim he has continued to make publicly . Following his release in June, Andrews said he was captured at gunpoint and briefly assaulted before being detained, an allegation he maintains . However, reports have linked his legal troubles not to espionage, but to alleged unpaid debts. Court documents suggested he owed £54,000 to the luxury car rental company Rotanna Star and another £15,000 to a UAE law firm . He was reportedly given two weeks following his initial release to pay the money, which would bring his total liabilities to approximately £69,000, or risk being rearrested . The drama has drawn further scrutiny from several individuals in Andrews' past. His ex-wife, Dina Taji, has publicly accused him of taking out a £200,000 mortgage in her name without her knowledge, leading to legal action that resulted in a travel ban against him in the UAE . Another businesswoman, Crystal Janke, alleges she invested £123,000 in one of Andrews' schemes and was left with nothing . Background of this event The repeated legal entanglements in Dubai underscore the strict enforcement of financial laws in the UAE, where personal debts and bounced checks can lead to swift criminal penalties, including imprisonment and travel bans. For expatriates and foreign businesspeople, financial disputes often carry greater legal risk than in many Western jurisdictions. As of Saturday, neither Katie Price nor Lee Andrews had made a public statement regarding the latest arrest .
