Katie Price Shares Racy Poolside Photo Amid Husband’s Release Claims
Former glamour model Katie Price has captivated fans with a daring social media post, sharing a topless photograph while relaxing in her pool. The image, posted Sunday night, shows the 48-year-old celebrity in only tiny purple bikini bottoms, with her back to the camera, highlighting her tattoos and surgically enhanced figure.
This striking visual comes as Price has claimed her husband, Lee Andrews, has been released from prison in Dubai. The 43-year-old, who has described himself as a billionaire, was reportedly detained in Al Awir Central Prison last month on fraud allegations. Price had previously indicated that a substantial sum was required for his release.
Husband’s Alleged Release and Financial Disputes
Reports indicate that Andrews was seeking to raise approximately £140,000 for his freedom and had requested Price to establish a crowdfunding campaign. However, Price has now informed The Sun that Andrews has been released. A friend close to the situation stated, “Lee is out.” The friend added that Andrews FaceTimed Price shortly after his release, and while she was pleased to hear from him, she was reportedly seeking answers, having refused to pay any part of the bail fine.
“Of course she has heard the discourse surrounding him, and she’s not stupid. She knows the optics aren’t great if she stays with this man,” a friend commented. “But as any woman who has been love-bombed knows, it’s hard to leave when you’re being treated so well. For whatever reason, she still loves him and is hugely physically attracted to him.”
The friend continued, “But make no bones about it: Lee is a conman and a fraud and there must be consequences to his despicable actions. She must leave this man.”
The publication has also shared what is believed to be the first image of Andrews since his release, showing him wearing a baseball cap and a smile.
Price’s Stance on Financial Support and Past Warnings
Price’s representatives have declined to comment on the developments. She had previously flown to Dubai after learning of her husband’s arrest for fraud, prepared to pay an initial fee of £6,500 for his release. However, upon arrival at the courthouse, she was informed the required sum had escalated to £140,000 due to Andrews’ involvement in a separate property-related court case.
Price has stated her refusal to pay this larger sum. An alleged phone conversation revealed Andrews asking about a fundraiser, to which Price reportedly responded, “No-one will do that for you, Lee, trust me. Everyone hates you.”
Sources have suggested that Price’s family is increasingly concerned about her mental well-being and the welfare of her children, citing her frequent travel and extended periods away from home.
Family Concerns and Sister’s Scathing Remarks
During a joint podcast appearance last month, Price’s sister, Sophie, expressed strong disapproval of Lee after he failed to appear for a scheduled interview on Good Morning Britain. Price had explained that Andrews had encountered visa issues at the airport, but Sophie countered, “He is massively mugging you off and he has done it publicly on live TV.” Price acknowledged the embarrassment, stating, “You’ve made me look a massive d**k, you’ve made yourself look a massive d**k.”
Sophie was unequivocal in her criticism, stating, “I can’t even say his name, because he winds me up, I think he is a f**king d**khead on Instagram if I am honest and I think you deserve better Kate.”
Price has consistently maintained her stance against providing financial support to Andrews, stating, “I’ve made it clear to Lee, I will never give him money, I’ll never give a man money, I’ve done it all my life, I’ve always been the breadwinner. My divorces, I’m the one that always has to give. I said to Lee I’ll never do it.”
When questioned about potentially being the financial provider, she responded, “You don’t know that, I don’t know that.”
Past Allegations and Warnings from Ex-Partners
Price has spoken about being told she would need to pay £140,000 for Andrews’ release, viewing it as an imprudent decision. She commented, “This is real, this is real life; this is my life. It has been a tough few weeks, don’t get me wrong. But I’ve still stayed strong through it all, and I have a smile on my face.”
She added, “So, in this situation, I’m doing what I want to do, and I’m out here in Dubai, because I’m here to help Lee. Some people might not like my choices, but I’m not living for everyone else. I know people have been calling me stupid, I see all the trolling, I hear it. I am not stupid.”
Following Price’s marriage to Andrews, two of his former partners have publicly cautioned her against him. Crystal Janke, 40, alleged that Andrews had persuaded her to invest £123,000 in his company with promises of a substantial return. Alana Percival, his ex-fiancée, has also issued warnings on social media.
During her time in Dubai, Price met with Andrews’ ex-partner Dina Taji, who reportedly warned her directly about his alleged deceptive practices. Information surfaced in January, shortly after Price’s wedding to Andrews, detailing how he had purportedly secured a £200,000 mortgage in Taji’s name without her consent. This led to legal action and a travel ban for Andrews from Dubai. Taji has chosen not to speak publicly about the allegations but agreed to meet with Price to share her concerns. After this meeting, Price stated, “My eyes have been opened. I just need some time to think. I still cannot end things with Lee until I’ve spoken to him, but that was a lot.”
