Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews appears to have unfollowed her on Instagram after being detained in Dubai.
He was arrested over a “private civil matter” last week, despite earlier claims he had been detained on suspicion of espionage in Dubai.
The 43-year-old was incarcerated at Dubai’s Al Awir Central Prison after going missing for two weeks and was scheduled to be released on Monday after paying a four-figure sum.
Now, it appears the controversial businessman no longer follows Price - who he married in January after a whirlwind romance.
His bio still includes the words, “Hubby to @katieprice,” and the former glamour model, 48, continues to follow him.
Price lost access to her Instagram account after it was banned over complaints concerning nudity and her “flashing her breasts”. It has now been reinstated.
It is understood Andrews was arrested on Wednesday, May 14, after allegedly keeping a deliberately low profile in the days beforehand.
Speaking on The Katie Price Show podcast last week, Price said Andrews had been shocked to discover he had become “the most hated man in prison” after his disappearance sparked widespread speculation online.
Despite the latest reports around his arrest, she continued to insist Andrews had told her he was being interrogated over espionage allegations.
“Lee has been found alive! I don't know the full update. All I know is they thought he was a spy so he's been interrogated,” she said. “I am happy as I didn't know where he had gone. He's been interrogated and had hoods on him. I need to find out when I can see him now. I only had a minute with him on the phone.”
Price also addressed rumours surrounding activity on Andrews’ phone while he was missing, after online users noticed another woman had apparently been followed from his account.
“I did ask him about the phone situation. He hasn't been on his phone - he's been interrogated and they've been on his phone. So they've been mucking around on his phone - it wasn't Lee,” she claimed.
She added that she had confronted him about reports he followed another woman online during his disappearance.
“What happened with the woman was she activated her account and she followed him or he followed her. But then she blocked him. They've never exchanged messages. But I did ask him 'apparently you've followed another woman!'”
Price went on to reveal she had told Andrews just how much backlash he had received while missing.
“Then I told him ‘you're the most hated man in Britain’ - and he wanted to know why,” she said. “I said everyone thinks you're a scammer and I said we'd talk about it all when you're out.”
The former glamour model said Andrews would now need to publicly explain what happened once he is released.
“He is going to have to explain it all. He needs to do an interview,” she said. “The public deserve it - everyone thinks he's a con artist. He needs to come on this podcast! He's had lots of hate but let's give him a chance to tell his story.”
The Foreign Office has so far declined to confirm whether Andrews is being held at Al Awir prison, but said consular officials are supporting the family.
Last week, Andrews’ father Peter claimed he had been arrested and was being held in a Dubai prison.
He had reportedly vanished 11 days earlier after sending Price a video appearing to show him hooded with his hands tied, alongside claims he had been “bundled into a van” and taken to a so-called “black site” while attempting to travel to London to be with her.
Andrews - who is based in Dubai - had been set to fly to the UK to do a joint interview with Price on Good Morning Britain but failed to show up and could not be contacted.
His family reportedly filed a missing persons report with the British embassy but consular staff in Dubai were reportedly been unable to find any trace of him.
Andrews has faced accusations he is a conman and Price's family have shared their fears about her whirlwind relationship with him in the past.
He has been branded a “liar and a narcissist” by two of his exes.
He has strenuously denied the conman claims along with allegations that he is unable to leave the UAE due to a travel ban.
Andrews was reportedly banned from leaving Dubai after allegedly spending three weeks in a UAE jail over claims he forged an ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan, according to the Daily Mail.
It was also alleged that he applied for a mortgage in his ex’s name without her consent. Andrews has denied the claims.
