UMVA has learned that reality star Katie Price’s missing husband, Lee Andrews, was located inside Al Awir prison in Dubai after a frantic two‑week disappearance.
In a brief two‑minute call arranged by his father, Andrews told a relieved Price that authorities had detained him on suspicion of espionage, a charge that could carry a life sentence in the UAE.
Price described the moment as a “rush of relief,” saying she expressed her love and worry before the line went silent, leaving many questions about the alleged spy accusation.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Andrews is expected to secure his release on Monday after paying a four‑figure fine, ending a tense standoff that kept the nation guessing.
Prior to his arrest, Andrews had been slated to appear on a joint interview with Price on a UK morning show, a plan that vanished when he vanished from her life, prompting frantic searches and a missing‑person report filed with the British embassy.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Andrews’ father orchestrated the prison phone call, delivering the connection from a prison phone box and ending weeks of speculation about a possible kidnapping or black‑site detention.
The episode has revived memories of a high‑profile espionage case in the UAE, where a foreign academic faced a life sentence before receiving a presidential pardon.
Friends and former partners have painted a chaotic portrait of Andrews, alleging false claims of millionaire status, fabricated celebrity encounters, and a history of alleged fraud and manipulation.
Despite the drama, Andrews’ legal team maintains that the espionage charge is unfounded and that the fine represents a routine resolution to a misunderstanding.
Price, who announced she was stepping back for her sanity, hinted at the possibility of an international manhunt before the call confirmed Andrews was alive and awaiting release.
