UNIPA News(Dubai) 28 May 2026:Television personality Katie Price has spoken publicly for the first time after receiving an emotional phone call from her husband, Lee Andrews, following days of uncertainty surrounding his disappearance in Dubai.

According to Katie, Lee contacted her briefly from Dubai’s Al Awir prison on Wednesday morning. The call reportedly lasted only two minutes, but it marked their first direct conversation since he suddenly went missing earlier this month.

Katie revealed that Lee told her authorities in Dubai had detained him on allegations linked to espionage. Speaking about the emotional exchange, she explained that she reassured him of her love and admitted she had been deeply worried about his safety during the days he was unreachable.

The situation had sparked major concern after earlier reports suggested Lee may have been kidnapped while attempting to return to London. Before his disappearance, he had allegedly sent distressing messages and voice recordings claiming he was being held against his will.

Although Katie initially denied rumours that her husband had been arrested, new reports now claim Lee has been in custody since May 14 and is currently being held at Al Awir prison, a detention facility known for its strict conditions and controversial reputation.

Lee’s father, Peter Andrews, later confirmed that his son was indeed under arrest but said the family had received very little information regarding the exact accusations against him.

Meanwhile, officials from the UK Foreign Office confirmed they are assisting the family of a British citizen detained in the United Arab Emirates and remain in contact with local authorities regarding the matter.

Sources close to the situation claim Lee had kept a low profile in the days before his arrest and had reportedly removed personal belongings from his apartment shortly beforehand. There is speculation that he may be released soon after paying a financial penalty.

The incident comes after several weeks of public speculation about Katie and Lee’s relationship. Lee had repeatedly failed to return to the UK for scheduled television appearances alongside Katie, leading to growing rumours online.

Katie previously admitted she had questioned his repeated promises to travel home, saying she had begun to suspect something was seriously wrong when he continuously failed to arrive.

The unfolding drama has continued to attract intense media attention as supporters await further updates on Lee’s legal situation in Dubai.
