Katie Price’s desperate attempts to get Lee Andrews to their joint Good Morning Britain interview last week have been revealed in a new chaotic behind the scenes video.
A new YouTube vlog uploaded by the former glamour model, 47, documents the day that initially sparked the bizarre and ongoing ‘missing husband’ saga amid his current mysterious disappearance.
Lee, 42, was due to travel to the UK to reunite with his wife last Monday, but failed to get on a flight, later claiming he had ‘things to do’ but was still on his way. He has repeatedly firmly denied reports he had a travel ban.
And this week Katie declared that Lee was missing, five days after she last heard from him and claimed he was ‘detained in a van with his hands tied’ after his disappearance.
But fresh reports say Lee has not been kidnapped as Katie feared and is instead squatting in a run-down villa in Dubai and is ‘ghosting’ her.
Last week Katie vlogged her day heading to GMB for the interview which Lee was meant to attend.

As she got ready in the kitchen of her Sussex home before getting into a cab to head to London for the show she said to the camera: ‘I’m doing Good Morning Britain. Lee was supposed to fly here yesterday as you know.
‘And he hasn’t so he is supposed to be coming today. So the show must go on. GMB still want me on the show, they don’t want him on via Zoom, so I’m going on my own.’
Insisting he would still travel later that day Katie added: ‘Lee didn’t get the flight. But he’s coming today. He was meant to fly. People are saying he is on a flight ban. It is what it is. The show must go on.
‘I am going to get interrogated on TV as everyone think he’s on a flight ban. But I can handle anything. But he is at the airport now. But everyone has it in for Lee…’.
After the TV appearance she was seen chatting to her mum Amy, as she asked her why Lee wasn’t with her.
Katie then told her: ‘He’s at the airport now. Look if he doesn’t come he is digging a hole for himself. What else can I say. It is what it is, I have to go now bye…’
The next part of the video then shows Katie on the phone to Lee after the show as she tells him: ‘None of them believe that you’re coming they were asking me about it on the show. Everyone is dying to see you on that couch.
‘Everyone keeps telling me ‘he’s not coming’. The fact is you have to just get here and prove them all wrong.’
Lee still hasn’t made it to the UK however.
It comes as a new report has claimed that Katie has been ghosted by Lee and fears she may never hear from him again.
He is said to be only talking to a few of his trusted network on a burner phone and ‘frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in’.
Katie, who wed Lee in January following a whirlwind ten-day romance, branded their relationship a ‘soap opera’ after he became radio silent and did not travel to the UK for GMB.
The Sun has now reported the Dubai-based businessman is wanted by Interpol, after Hertfordshire Police – who had been previously investigating claims from an ex-girlfriend – escalated their case.
A heartbroken Katie, meanwhile, is said to have been on the phone to lawyers over the past 24 hours, seeking counsel.
Assistant Editor of The Sun, Clemmie Moodie, also claims she is the latest of Lee’s victims, after being conned out of £1,000.

Katie Price has been ‘ghosted by her husband Lee Andrews and fears she may never hear from him again’ as ‘conman’ lies low in a Dubai villa after his ‘secret double life is exposed’
She reports Katie was also promised money from Lee and had showed her cheques he’d seemingly deposited into her account, but the funds never emerged.
Additionally, she was said to have been handed a credit card, which didn’t work. The television personality is said to have believed this was due to an incorrect pin.
But now, Katie is said to be ‘horrified’ by the claims Lee has allegedly conned another woman out of £1,000 and ultimately wants to track him down.
The Daily Mail has contacted Lee, Interpol and Hertfordshire Police for comment. Katie’s representative declined to comment.
Katie, meanwhile, took to Instagram on Monday night and said she was suffering with terrible ‘anxiety and was overwhelmed’ after a traumatic week, as she plugged her CBD sponsorship.
After news of Katie and Lee’s marriage emerged, two of his exes came forward telling the television personality to ‘run for the hills’ and not to give him any money.
Crystal Janke, 40, claimed Lee hoodwinked her into handing over £123,000 to invest in his company, on the promise he could get a ‘return of £1million’.
The family nurse practitioner from Texas, who started a romance with Lee last May, claims she has been scammed and fears her money was spent by Lee on lavish gifts for Alana Percival, 32, who he was dating at the same time.
Alana, who sold a house to Katie 15 years ago and called off their engagement in November, meanwhile said of Lee: ‘He is a liar, a narcissist and I think he’s a manipulator. Once I tried to leave him, he told me had a heart condition and was living on borrowed time. Lee doesn’t know what’s fact and what’s fiction.’
Lee denied the claims at the time.
On Sunday, it was reported Lee’s family have filed a report at the British Embassy in Dubai, where the businessman lives.
Katie previously said their last conversation took place at 10pm on Wednesday as he travelled through the border at Hatta, but his phone then ‘went dead’.
She added she had been in contact with the ‘head of CID in Dubai’ who was unable to locate him but confirmed he had ‘not been detained’.
A source close to Katie said: ‘Lee is officially a missing person now. Katie is in constant contact with his family and is desperately worried.
‘And she’s mortified — she’s seen people calling it a stunt and that she must be in on it, but she’s absolutely not.
‘This is such a worrying, upsetting situation.’
On her YouTube channel, Katie said: ‘I don’t know where to really begin, but I know there is all this speculation about Lee when I met him but something really serious has happened.
‘I’ve been forced that I have to say this now. It was put up on my Instagram that Lee was taking time out of socials because of all the trolling and speculation.
‘I put that up because the truth is, Lee has been missing for three days. The last time I heard from Lee was Wednesday night at 10pm, he was trying to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to me.
‘Lee was trying to get through the border at Hatta, this is so discombobulating, his location went off at 10.03pm on Wednesday night, that’s the last contact anyone has had – his family and myself. This is the third day now.
‘Then Thursday’s come, my messages aren’t going through. It was just one tick. I was on the phone to his family and they have heard nothing.
‘I’ve had the head of CID in Dubai trying to track Lee, so far I got a message this morning, that no one can find anywhere in the country that Lee has been detained.
‘We are now wondering, as far-fetched as it is, that he’s a missing person now, I don’t know if he’s been kidnapped.’
Katie continued: ‘No one can find him in any prison, any police station, the police can’t find any record of him. We are wondering if he’s been kidnapped, he’s definitely a missing person now.
‘I’m wondering if he’s been kidnapped because he was by the border. The unsettling thing for me, the last time I heard from him, he FaceTimed me, he had a hood on and said ‘I’ve just been captured or arrested’ and had ties around his hand, not handcuffs, and said ‘they’re coming back for me’.
‘Then his phone went dead at 10.03pm. Three days, it will be four tomorrow, no contact, no one can find him anywhere.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to Lee for comment.
