Katie Price’s recent spouse, Lee Andrews, is reportedly encountering additional legal challenges in Dubai, with rumors circulating that he is prohibited from leaving the currently conflicted nation.

The former glamour model, aged 47, wed the businessman, who is 42, in January after a brief acquaintance. They later held a formal ceremony, which surprised and worried many fans and family members due to allegations of Lee’s involvement in fraudulent activities.

Accusations have surfaced suggesting that Lee, originally from the UK, spent three weeks in a Dubai jail. He was allegedly involved in a scheme where he forged his ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan in her name, leading to a travel ban from the UAE.

Despite his denials, there appears to be no indication that he has left the country since his marriage to Katie, even amidst the recent missile strikes affecting the city.

Questions loom over Lee’s extravagant claims regarding his wealth and achievements, such as a PhD from Cambridge, successful businesses, and connections to Elon Musk, which have added to the skepticism surrounding him.

Reports indicate that allegations were initially made to the Herefordshire Police, who have since transferred the case to authorities in Dubai.

Katie Price’s new husband Lee Andrews is reportedly set to face further legal woes in Dubai, amid claims he is banned from leaving the now war-torn country

A source told The Sun: ‘The police have handed the files to the police in Dubai as Lee lives there and the allegations made against him happened in that country.’ 

Daily Mail have contacted Lee Andrews’ representatives for comment.  

Lee’s ex Dina found out about his apparent swindling 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 him to the authorities in Dubai who investigated her claim. 

It is unknown at what stage the investigation is at – but Lee was subject to the travel ban preventing him from leaving Dubai while the case was open.

He  has also reportedly been heard begging a woman for cash in desperate voice notes.

The US-based businesswoman, who did not want to be named, revealed she received a string of ‘desperate’ voice notes from him just a week before he proposed to Katie.

In the voice notes, Lee reportedly tried to persuade the woman to send him cash in amounts ranging from £1100 to £2500 on multiple occasions since last May for what she believed was a business opportunity.

But as the woman felt uneasy about sending money, Lee’s voice notes reportedly became more and more desperate – with the Dubai-based ‘millionaire businessman’,  asking her for cash as recently as January.

In the voice notes heard by The Sun, Lee reportedly said: ‘If you can help me or send Western Union 3000 that would help me so much. I could just do with a big hug really. 

‘You don’t know how desperate it’s been, the last couple of months of me trying to survive.’

Self-proclaimed ‘millionaire’ Lee is said to have claimed he was cash-strapped and living off 20 pence ready meals because he was waiting for payments from his business Aura Sustainable Vehicles & Energy BVI to clear from Kenya. 

Despite their arrangement reportedly being a business one, Lee is said to have told the woman he would ‘love her’ if she could send him the cash and referred to her as ‘beautiful’.

Now according to reports allegations were made to Herefordshire Police against him, which have since been handed to Dubai cops

When the woman refused to send Lee money, he reportedly swore at her and called her a time waster.  

Speaking to the publication, the woman said Lee had told her he was so poor he was forced to live off packets of rice.

She said she ultimately decided against sending him cash but she came very close as he is ‘so persuasive’.

The woman went on to say that Lee told her back in December he had met someone special, who she believes to be Katie. 

The Daily Mail has contacted Lee for comment. Lee has denied all previous claims.

She is not the first woman to make allegations against Lee.

It comes after Lee’s furious ex accused him of ‘scamming’ women out of cash as she dubs him the ‘tinder swindler’.

The former glamour model stunned fans last month when she announced she had married the Dubai-based businessman following a whirlwind one-week romance. 

After news of their nuptials emerged, Lee’s exes spoke out about him and he faced a string of accusations about the true nature of his finances, with a slew of his claims about his wealth, business acumen and celebrity-links said to be false. 

His former flame Alana Percival, 32, previously spoke out about how Lee had asked her to marry him in a lavish proposal strikingly similar to when he popped the question to Katie 16 weeks later.

Last week Alana claimed four women have got in contact with her in the last two weeks since she told her story – all claiming that Lee tried to ‘scam’ them out of money – in a post seen by The Sun.

Alana went on to brand Lee ’embarrassing’ and likened him to the Tinder Swindler – a Netflix show made about Israeli conman Simon Leviev, a notorious relationship scammer.
