Lee Andrews, husband of Katie Price, has sent a personalized video message to Andy Burnham, who is widely expected to become the next Prime Minister. In the Cameo recording, Andrews, who recently faced legal troubles in Dubai, encouraged Burnham to "go balls out and break the internet."
Andrews, 41, has been leveraging his public profile by offering personalized video messages on the Cameo platform, charging approximately £41.74 per request. The message to Burnham was facilitated by Jamie East, host of the podcast "Tales From The Celebrity Trenches," who asked Andrews to record a pep talk for a "friend" moving to London for a new job.
In the video, Andrews stated, "Hey, Andy, my man. So this is from your mate Jamie. Now he tells me you're a Mancunian. Are you a blue, are you a red? Just make a noise, mate. Just go out here, go balls out, and you'll break the internet for sure... That's the both of us. Trust me, I know. I've got a couple of things happening and I've got my wife arriving tomorrow as well. I've got to go and face the music in the UK, so I am bricking it as well, so that's two of us... We're in the same yellow submarine, my man. You say hello to someone in London, they look at you like you're an alien. Make a noise so I can hear it over here."
Burnham's potential rise to leadership follows Keir Starmer's resignation. He took a significant step toward the role on Wednesday when Cabinet minister Darren Jones, considered a potential rival, announced he would not run for the position. Burnham, who has served as the mayor of Greater Manchester since 2017, recently won a special election for a parliamentary seat with the stated intention of challenging for leadership of the Labour Party.
Andrews himself recently emerged after spending weeks in Dubai's Al-Awir prison on fraud charges, though he had also claimed to have been held at gunpoint over espionage allegations. Following his release, he changed his Instagram bio to "Notorious Hubby to @katieprice." Katie Price has reportedly stated she would not pay the £140,000 believed to be required for his release and has sought answers regarding his statements before considering the future of their marriage. Despite this, she recently traveled to the UAE, stating, "I cannot just walk away from my marriage without seeing him again."
