Wild conspiracy theories have erupted online after British television personality Katie Price claimed her husband has been kidnapped. The former glamour model stated that the last time she spoke to her husband, Lee Andrews, was on May 13 while he was attempting to board a flight to the UK from Dubai, where he resides. Since then, Price has been updating fans on his apparent disappearance through her YouTube channel.
During their last phone conversation, Price alleged that Andrews told her he had been captured in a van, with ties around his hand and a hood over his head. The mother of four said no one has heard from him since that call, and an official missing persons report has been filed with the British Embassy in Dubai.
While Price fears something really serious may have happened to her husband, conspiracy theories about the case have begun circulating online. British reality TV star and entrepreneur Luisa Zissman shared a series of videos on Instagram suggesting her search was not entirely serious, including footage of her looking for Andrews in the Emirates Lounge at London's Heathrow Airport.
After asking followers to share their theories about his disappearance, people flooded the comments with speculation. Some claimed Andrews is not real. Zissman also posted a comparison image of Australian actor Chris Hemsworth working out at the gym next to a similar-looking photo of Andrews, suggesting Price's husband may have edited his face onto Hemsworth's body. One Instagram user claimed, He is 100% AI, it is a social experiment. However, one person defended Andrews, claiming she had met him and Price in Dubai and insisted he is real and lovely.
In a video posted from Dubai, Zissman poked fun at the situation, saying she discovered that Andrews was seen as active on Facebook Messenger six hours ago, which indicates that his kidnappers are definitely letting him have access to social media. She added, Makes you wonder why he has not reached out to ask for help. Who knows but I did see that while I did some digging on Facebook. It is looking unlikely I am going to be able to bring him home. Where are you Lee? Everyone wants to know. A nation wants to know.
Originally from Nottinghamshire, Andrews is a businessman who is now based in Dubai, having moved there 21 years ago. The 43-year-old states on LinkedIn he is the CEO and founder of Aura Group Future Urban Travel 2027, which appears to be an electric car company. While Price has not directly addressed the rumours surrounding her husband's disappearance, she did share a cryptic message on Friday, saying, There is only one person I need to look after and that is myself, so I am taking a step back. I do not know what is true, what is not true. My tentacles are up, my antennas are up and I have decided to take a step back from everything, assess everything in my way and just continue with my life. What will be will be.
Andrews has previously denied claims made by two former partners that he is a swindler who targets women. Price married businessman Lee Andrews in a whirlwind ceremony in Dubai in January. It marked the fourth marriage for Price, following her previous marriages to Australian singer Peter Andre, Alex Reid, and Kieran Hayler.
