Reality television personality Katie Price and her husband, Lee Andrews, have referred to themselves as Britain's "most hated people" while on vacation in Dubai. The couple was filmed by Andrews in a swimming pool, with Price, 48, draped over her 43-year-old husband.
During the poolside conversation, which Andrews documented on Instagram, the couple debated whether to create joint Cameo videos, a service where fans pay for personalized video messages. Price suggested they might be the "most hated people," but then amended her statement to include that "people love me as well." Andrews responded by saying, "people love you, people hate me," to which Price agreed, "they do hate you."
Andrews, described as a "so-called businessman," has faced accusations from former partners. He was previously detained in Al-Awir prison in Dubai on fraud allegations, though he claimed he was taken at gunpoint and suspected of espionage. He has since posted on Instagram, stating he is willing to undergo a live lie detector test on television and referring to himself as "Britain's bad boy."
The recent comments come amid allegations that Andrews scammed a "vulnerable woman" out of approximately £5,000. According to The Sun, the woman, an Iranian national, allegedly met Andrews in January and gave him 26,000 AED (just over £5,000) for a property investment visa. After months with no progress, her friend attempted to retrieve the money. The friend reportedly confronted Andrews at his hotel, but he claimed he did not have the money and that it had been transferred via bank. No funds have been returned.
Andrews' past has drawn warnings from two of his ex-partners. In January, the Daily Mail reported that he allegedly took out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex-fiancée Dina Taji's name without her knowledge, leading to legal action and a travel ban from Dubai for Andrews. Taji reportedly met with Price to warn her about her husband. Andrews has denied these allegations.
Another ex, Crystal Janke, claimed Andrews persuaded her to invest £123,000 in his company with the promise of a £1 million return. His ex-fiancée Alana Percival also issued warnings on social media. Andrews has denied these claims.
Sources have indicated that Andrews faces potential re-imprisonment if he fails to pay outstanding debts within two weeks. Documents reportedly show debts including £54,000 for a rental car and £15,000 to a UAE legal firm. A representative stated that Andrews requested 14 days to settle the amount, explaining that his wife was out of the country and he had been unable to access his bank accounts. He reportedly told officials that he could raise the capital himself and has not asked Price to pay off his debts.
