Katie Price has decided to put her podcast on hold amid a storm of allegations surrounding her newlywed husband, Lee Andrews. Questions have been raised about Lee’s past and the authenticity of his purported wealth, causing quite a stir.

In a surprise move just last month, Katie, now 47, announced her marriage to Lee, marking her fourth walk down the aisle. The announcement came only a week after their initial meeting, catching many of her fans off guard. Lee, who presented himself as a high-flying businessman with connections to Elon Musk, is now under scrutiny as revelations about his true background emerge.

Accusations have surfaced suggesting Lee has been involved in dubious activities, including the use of artificial intelligence and appearing on escort websites. His history with women is also being questioned, further complicating his public image.

Adding fuel to the fire, Alana Percival, one of Lee’s former fiancées, has come forward with serious allegations. She claims that Lee proposed to her just weeks before he did so with Katie, and she hints that he has been advertising himself on escort platforms. Alana has urged Katie to “run for the hills,” asserting that she possesses evidence of his questionable behavior.

Further complicating matters, reports have emerged that Lee previously spent three weeks in a UAE jail. He was accused of forging his ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan in her name, an act that has reportedly led to a travel ban preventing him from leaving the country.

Daily Mail previously revealed Lee spent three weeks locked up in a UAE jail for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend’s signature to take out a £200,000 loan in his ex’s name and has been banned from leaving the country. 

Now, Katie has announced to her followers that she is ‘pressing pause’ on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, due to all the current attention.  

Sharing a post on her podcast’s Instagram story on Thursday, Katie wrote: ‘We’re pressing pause on The Katie Price Show podcast for now. 

‘With so much current media attention, it doesn’t feel right to release an episode at this time. The podcast has always observed the headlines, not added to them. 

She concluded the post: ‘Thank you for your continued support and understanding.’ 

It comes after the former glamour model leapt to the defence of her new husband following the claims, sharing a defiant message on Instagram on Wednesday.

She reposted a quote to her 2.7million followers, which read: ‘I promise, if you saw the way he treats me in private, you’d understand why I’m wildly addicted to him.’

In another story, she reposted: ‘Sorry to anyone who thought they were next, he’s not going anywhereee that’s my husband byeee.’ 

Insiders told the Daily Mail that Lee allegedly applied for a £200,000 mortgage on behalf of personal trainer partner Dina Taji without her knowledge last year.

Dina found out after receiving a phone call from the mortgage company, sparking her decision to file a legal case against him.

According to Dubai law, individuals pending criminal investigations, including unpaid debts or civil lawsuits, are not legally allowed to leave the country. The woman reported Lee to the authorities in Dubai, who investigated her claim.

However, Lee denied he was banned from leaving Dubai and on Tuesday claimed he and his wife are going on a honeymoon in a few days. 

In a video, Lee posted a screenshot from the MOI UAE App, which has features such as paying traffic fines, renewing driver’s licences and criminal status checks.

Lee had the screen on the ‘travel bans’ option, which read: ‘No travel bans.’ 

He said: ‘There’s no travel ban, directly from the police UAE application, and it’s my profile, so you can check those statuses, fines related to traffic, and also if you’re allowed to travel, so allow me to share that. It’s not fabricated.

‘I’m going on my honeymoon in a few days guys, so definitely not on a travel ban. I’m in the happiest moment of my life so I’m forward to going with my person, my human, on my honeymoon.’

He added: ‘It is exclusive, so I can’t talk about it. I know I’m probably the most hated man in Britain, but half this stuff is not even true.’

Meanwhile, another of Lee’s exes, Crystal Janke, has claimed Lee hoodwinked her into handing over £123,000 to invest in his company, on the promise he could get a ‘return of £1million’.

Last week, the Daily Mail learned that Lee advertises online in Dubai as a ‘sexy educated professional from GB’, charging a minimum of £940 per hour to visit ‘discerning professional women and high-level clients seeking more than just companionship’.

The 43-year-old’s profile on the site ‘Massage Republic’, where he goes by the name ‘Noah’, reads: ‘With a commanding presence and an effortless charm, I navigate the social elite with grace, ensuring that every encounter is tailored to your desires.

‘My polished demeanor, combined with an attentive nature, creates a safe haven where ambition meets intimacy.

‘Whether it’s an elegant dinner overlooking the skyline or a private escape in a lavish hotel suite, I provide an experience that transcends the ordinary, igniting passion and connection in an atmosphere of sophistication and discretion.’

Lee denied that the profile was his in a series of rambling voice notes sent to the Daily Mail, insisting it was a ‘vicious attack’ and had nothing to do with him.
