It’s been almost a week since Katie Price revealed that she hadn’t heard from her husband Lee Andrews in days, but it seems we’re no closer to finding out where the Dubai-based businessman has gone.
Price told fans at the weekend that she hadn’t heard from the Dubai-based businessman since Wednesday (13 May), with Andrews claiming in his final messages to her that he was being “detained” at a “black site” in the UAE.
Since then, Price has said that she’s “taking a step back” from the case and that she’ll no longer be speaking about Andrews while the police and authorities take over.
With Andrews’ final texts to Price having been revealed and the Foreign Office looking into his whereabouts, here are all the latest developments in this strange saga.

The star was falsely quoted in a news parody post on Wednesday, with a fan writing on X: “Ellie Goulding says she can’t believe Katie Price’s husband is missing. ‘Where the f***is he?’ she said.”
It wasn’t long before the real Goulding replied, writing a day later: “This is not fake news , where IS he! we all need to know this information.”
Perhaps it’s time for Goulding to take over from Zissman as the Dubai detective?
