Katie Price's husband Lee Andrews has been reported missing in Dubai for five days, yet just days before his disappearance, he was sharing selfies alongside his wife, Katie Price, and referring to them as a 'young couple'. The posts have since been mocked by fans.
Background of the Disappearance
Katie Price had been scheduled to appear on television with her husband, but Lee failed to board his flight to the UK. Katie subsequently accused him of making her 'look like a d***' for not showing up for the interview, as reported by the Mirror. Since then, the situation has escalated. In a statement on Sunday, Katie insisted that Lee was not simply taking a break from social media, revealing she feared he had been kidnapped after going missing for three days.
'I put that up because the truth is, Lee has been missing for three days. The last time I heard from Lee was Wednesday night at 10pm, he was trying to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to me,' she said. 'Lee was trying to get through the border at Hatta, this is so discombobulating, his location went off at 10.03pm on Wednesday night, that's the last contact anyone has had – his family and myself.'
Disturbing Last Contact
Katie disclosed that during their final FaceTime call, his hands were tied together and a hood had been placed over his face. She said he told her: 'They're coming back for me.' While some have cast doubt on these claims, the Foreign Office has confirmed it is supporting the family of a British man and remains in contact with local authorities.
Social Media Posts Before Disappearance
Just days before he went missing, Lee was posting on social media, sharing photos of him and Katie. On May 10, he posted a smiley selfie on Facebook with the caption: 'Young married couple winning x Katie Price Don't find someone to grow old with find someone to stay young with x'. The post has over 700 comments, many of which Lee replied to. One commenter said: 'AI photo again.' To which Lee replied: 'it's our honeymoon you idiot.' Another commented: 'Young? Hahahaha hahahaha that's so funny hahahaha, hey Lee have you bought Katie that Ferrari yet? #cashconverters.' Lee responded: 'Yes she has it'.
Numerous comments mocked Lee for stating they were a 'young couple'. One person wrote: 'Middle aged more like.' while another said: 'Hahaha that's the laugh of the day that one especially the young bit.'
Current Situation
The past five days have proved extremely distressing for Katie, and she now worries she may 'never hear' from her elusive husband as reports indicate he is 'squatting in a slightly run-down villa' and utilising a burner phone to communicate with those he trusts. Lee is reportedly wanted by Interpol after Herts police escalated an investigation involving claims from one of his exes, with The Sun claiming that he is 'frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in'.
