Katie Price Instagram finds Lee Andrews after 27 May prison call
Katie Price Instagram cut through two weeks of uncertainty on 27 May, when Lee Andrews called her from a Dubai prison and she said she had found him alive. The 48-year-old said the 43-year-old businessman was “alive, and he is OK,” after he had been missing since 13 May.
Al Awir prison call
Price said the call came from a call box in Al Awir prison and was set up by Andrews’s father. She said, “I told him how worried I had been and told him I loved him.” That brief contact turned a missing-person scare into a detention story, with Andrews now tied to a prison system in Dubai rather than an open-ended disappearance.
Price also said, “It was very rushed, but he said the authorities out there thought he was a spy. I don’t know much more than that right now.” That adds the first clear explanation for why he vanished from view, and it shifts the story away from social-media speculation and toward whatever process is handling his case in Dubai.
From Instagram to missing
Price first raised the alarm publicly on Saturday 16 May in a YouTube video, saying the last time she heard from him was “Wednesday night at 10pm,” when he was trying to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to her. She also said, “We are wondering if he’s been kidnapped; he’s definitely a missing person now.”
That warning matters because she had previously posted to Instagram that Andrews was “taking time out of socials” because of recent trolling. By her own account, that was not the truth; she said he had actually been missing for three days when she posted it. The gap between the public message and her later alarm is what made the search story spread so fast.
Monday 1 June release
Andrews is believed to have been arrested two weeks ago and may be released on Monday 1 June after paying a four-figure fine. For Price, that means the immediate crisis is no longer whether he is alive, but whether the Dubai process ends with him walking free after the fine is paid.
The cleaner reading now is that this was never a simple disappearance. It was a detention case that surfaced only after a public missing-person scare, and the next practical step is the reported release date tied to the fine.
