I don\u2019t know on what charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure where he is being held.

Me and his family know what\u2019s going on and working<\/p>\n<p>\nwith the authorities involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nKatie had previously expressed fears that Lee &#8211; who she married in January following a whirlwind romance &#8211; had been &#8220;kidnapped&#8221; but suggested earlier this week on her podcast that she had given up searching for her spouse to preserve her &#8220;own sanity&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said on her Katie Price Show Podcast: &#8220;I&#8217;m taking a step back, for my own sanity.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;There&#8217;s only one person I need to look after and that is myself., I&#8217;ve still got to work, there&#8217;s exciting things coming up, but for my sanity&#8230; I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s true, what&#8217;s not true. I&#8217;m like that now, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Like I said, my tentacles are up now, my antennas are up and I&#8217;ve decided to take a step back from everything, assess everything my way, and just continue with my life, and what will be will be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nOn Tuesday (19.05.26), Katie shared her most recent WhatsApp exchange with Lee, in which he claimed he had been &#8220;arrested&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nOne message shared with The Sun newspaper read: &#8220;Been arrested I&#8217;ll be in touch I&#8217;m OK xx (sic).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut in another text, Lee suggested he had not been arrested.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe typed: &#8220;It\u2019s a black site, I love you, I sort it. I\u2019m in the van\u2026 just being detained wtf. (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe publication reports that CID headquarters have not arrested anyone by Lee&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n<p>\nLee told Katie to keep tracking his &#8220;live location&#8221; and to contact the embassy as he was being driven to a hidden state-run detention facility by people who also took his second phone.<\/p>\n<p>\nLee said: &#8220;Keep that on babe love you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/fake-news-katie-price-disputes-claim-lee-andrews-dad-arrested-1444896.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 May 2026 Katie Price has dismissed Lee Andrews&#8217; dad&#8217;s claim the businessman has been arrested as &#8220;fake news&#8221;.
