Katie Price appeared on Good Morning Britain today solo as her husband Lee Andrews ‘missed his flight’ and was unable to attend
Katie Price appeared on Good Morning Britain
Katie Price was forced to deny that her husband Lee Andrews has been ‘detained’ at the airport as he missed an appearance on Good Morning Britain alongside her.
The reality star and former glamour model and Lee were both expected to appeared on the ITV news programme, hosted by Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, on Tuesday (May 11). However, when Katie arrived at the studio solo, she told producers that Lee had ‘missed his flight’ from Dubai.
An exasperated Susanna Reid told viewers: “Katie and her husband Lee were booked to appear and up until yesterday that was still the case,” reports the Mirror.
Susanna said the GMB team contacted the Foreign Office yesterday to see if Lee had any travel ban when they were told he’d be a surprise ‘no-show.’ The Foreign Office responded: “We supported a British man who was detained in the UAE.”
Ed then asked Katie directly if Lee had been arrested. She hit back: “No, I feel like they just said it to me in there [backstage] so I just said to Lee apparently, a British man has been detained, can you confirm its not you?” and he’s done a voice note back and said it’s not him and sent laughing emojis.”

Katie went on to claim that Lee was at the airport and had been sending pictures and was on his way. “He said ‘No, it’s not me,’ in a voice note. He’s sent me pictures, he’s at the airport and on his way,” insisted Katie. “He’s coming over to spend quite a few months now, he’s sorting out my visa and my international driving license. He had things to do, didn’t make the flight, because of all his business stuff he has to do.”
Explaining more about their plans to be on the show, Katie said: “We did the research chat and everything – but he is at the airport now and he is on his way. He said he’d even come on a Zoom.”
When asked if Lee was unreliable, Katie insisted he wasn’t to her. She told hosts Susanna and Ed to “interrogate” her to clear things up. Susanna then said: “What I love about you Katie is that you’re very open, but I just wonder if he’s telling you everything.”
Katie then added: “I know no one believes me, your face says it all, [Susanna]. I can’t keep going to Dubai because I’ve got work and my kids here. He pays for it anyway but I can’t keep going to Dubai so he’s shifting over here. I said ‘I keep flying to you, you’ve got to come to England now.”

When the Foreign Office was mentioned again, Katie was asked if it “raised a concern” for her. She said: “No you’ve asked the question to them – they haven’t come to you. He wouldn’t have his phone, he wouldn’t be at the airport, so it’s definitely not Lee. I’ve just had him on FaceTime at the airport; it’s definitely not Lee. He does a lot of stuff. I know what he does, so I believe it.”
Katie and Lee married earlier this year just days after meeting. Despite claims, Katie has insisted she won’t move to Dubai to live in the £36million home Lee claims he ‘bought with cash’. She said: “I don’t know why people think I’m moving. My family’s here. The husband is there, but the husband come here and I can go to Dubai.”
Katie had previously seemed to suggest she was thinking about moving to Dubai on a more permanent basis or at least be travelling there regularly. She explained: “I’ve got to sort out what I’m going to do with the animals because obviously Lee’s in Dubai and I’m going to keep going to Dubai and back.
“I’ve got 12 animals in the house. I know I like things excessive like big cars, big boobs, big bum, lots of animals, horses, this, that. I think I need to re-evaluate my life a little bit and just have a little think about everything.”
