Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews ‘won’t be getting released from prison anytime soon’ despite him being expected to have been freed on Monday.
Katie, 48, shared a cryptic post about heartbreak and loss on Instagram on Wednesday that she didn’t see coming after she flew out to be reunited with him in Dubai.
An insider told the Daily Mail: ‘Katie is going to the [Al Awir] prison on Wednesday to try to speak to Lee. He is still locked up there and it does not look like he is getting out any time soon.
Lee has spent the past few weeks detained in Al Awir prison over a ‘private civil matter’ and not for espionage as he claimed – and Katie is still wearing her diamond engagement ring.
On Tuesday, Katie addressed her upset on her story and shared: ‘Behind every strong woman is a story that changed her. A heartbreak she didn’t see coming. A loss she never wanted. A battle she never asked to fight.
‘She didn’t become strong because it was easy, she became strong because she had no other choice.

She wrote: ‘Behind every strong woman is a story that changed her. A heartbreak she didn’t see coming. A loss she never wanted. A battle she never asked to fight’
‘And now? That strength is her power. Her resilience is her weapon. Her faith is her anchor. She may carry scars, but those scars shine as proof that she made it through.’
She continued: ‘Strong women aren’t born, they’re built in the fire. And if you see one standing tall, know this: she carries a story of survival that turned into strength.’
Katie was spotted at London Gatwick airport on Monday when she flew to Dubai to reunite with Lee who has yet to be seen in weeks.
On Tuesday, Lee mysteriously re-followed Katie after unfollowing her on Instagram, but other than that, he has remained silent on social media.
However despite recent events, Katie seened set on reuniting with Lee and was seen wheeling a huge pink suitcase alongside videographer and photographer Ben Algar who will no doubt be capturing the reunion on camera.
Katie said on her podcast last Thursday ‘when [Lee] gets out, I’m going to ask him about all of it because everything needs an explanation. There’s so much speculation about you, it’s about time yoiu actually do a sit-down video interview, because I think the public deserve it.’
The star was seen still wearing her huge diamond wedding ring as she continued to show her commitment to Lee after they tied the knot in January, less than a week into knowing one another.

Lee made contact with his wife in what she says was a two-minute phone call from inside the jail.
A source told Daily Mail: ‘Katie has gone to Dubai to have it out with Lee. She took the 2.35pm flight from Gatwick yesterday.
‘Katie feels let down and she’s been lied to on several points and been made to look stupid in front of family and friends. Not to mention the world on social media.
‘She’s being shown things on a daily basis about him and showing he’s a possible fraud. She doesn’t want to admit defeat and call it a day on their marriage.’
Last week, Katie had lost access to her Instagram account after it was banned, but returned to the social media platform on Monday.
The platform temporarily removed her account, but she and her 2.6 million followers have all been reinstated, but Lee was no longer a follower until Tuesday, when he started following her again.
The former glamour model’s profile was taken down just hours after she claimed she and husband Lee had finally spoken, which added yet more confusion to the saga.
Sources later revealed it would be back up soon after a misunderstanding with Meta following complaints concerning nudity and her ‘flashing her breasts’, as well as the promotion of CBD gummies.
An insider claimed at the time: ‘Katie is furious. It’s absolutely ridiculous that she’s had her account deactivated after spending years building it up and gaining over two and a half million followers.
‘She was previously told it would be back up and running and now they’re saying she might have to start from scratch and have a brand new account with zero followers.’
The source told The Sun: ‘It feels like small-minded trolls complaining for the sake of it and Katie’s efforts to stay connected with all her fans is suffering as a consequence.’
The Daily Mail was the first to reveal that Lee was in prison last weekend.
Katie had been beset with worry after the so-called businessman went missing two weeks ago, but on Wednesday she confirmed she’d finally spoken to him after he called her from a prison in Dubai. Her Instagram then vanished on Thursday.
In a chat on her podcast The Katie Price Show released last Thursday, Katie detailed her two-minute phone call with Lee – after he was thought ‘missing’ for two weeks – and attempted to explain some of the things that didn’t add up from the time he was gone.
Firstly, last week it had been reported that his phone had been ‘turned back on’ during his disappearance after he ‘went dark’ amid being detained.
He appeared to still be active on social media, and claims at the time suggested that he had been using his mobile phone.
A source claimed that one of Lee’s phones had been turned back on Sunday morning.
But Katie has now claimed that it is the people who are ‘interrogating’ Lee in prison who were using his phone.
She said: ‘I did ask him about the phone situation. He hasn’t been on his phone – he’s been interrogated and they’ve been on his phone. So they’ve been mucking around on his phone – it wasn’t Lee.’
She then also spoke about how she’d asked him about rumours that he had followed another woman online during his time missing, saying: ‘What happened with the woman was she activated her account and she followed him or he followed her.
‘But then she blocked him. They’ve never exchanged messages. But I did ask him “apparently you’ve followed another woman!…”‘
