Katie Price’s new husband reveals why she returned to UK without him after Dubai wedding and claims marriage ‘is legal’

Katie Price’s new husband Lee Andrews has revealed why she jetted home to the UK without him.

The businessman – who tied the knot with Katie in a surprise Dubai wedding over the weekend – took to social media to dispel reports that their marriage wasn’t official in the eyes of the law as well as clarifying her need to return home.

He took to Instagram to share a video in which he discussed his romance with Katie.

Lee said: “I’m going be meeting Katie tomorrow in the UK.

“I just need to wrap up a few things here.

“She had to get back for her children because she’s a good mother and she’s lovely like that.”

Despite currently being apart, a smiling Lee said that he and Katie “are so happy” and that more information would be coming out via their publicists in the coming days.

“Hey guys, how are you?” he began in a video posted on his Instagram Stories.

“So yeah, myself and Katie are legally married okay. I think you know that.

“No, I’m not a gigolo,” he added. “There is a press release going out.

“I wish,” he said of the gigolo nickname. “I would have got more money from it wouldn’t I, I don’t think those are the going rates in Dubai, but let’s look at it obtusely.

“So yes, I’m in Dubai, she’s in England,” he confirmed again of their current locations. “You’ll see us reunite.”

Before signing off, Lee made a brief swipe at online speculation over the couple’s wedding rings.

Some eagle-eyed fans claimed that Katie previously wasn’t wearing her diamond engagement ring and wedding band on the correct finger.

“Our rings are on the correct hand,” he said in the video, jokily adding: “Which is on the right hand, no I’m joking, it’s on the left hand.”

“And the tattoos still remain,” he added, flashing a glimpse of his Katie tribute inking on his hand.

In addition to the video, Lee also shared more loved-up snaps of the couple from their time together in Dubai.

One included a new photo of Katie posing in her wedding gown, while another showed the two of them enjoying champagne at a restaurant table.

Lee’s video appears to be in response to previous comments made by the pair’s wedding celebrant that their nuptials were not legally binding.

Darryl Rees, a part-time DJ and celebrant based in Dubai, told the Daily Mail: “What I do is a symbolic wedding.

“I’m like the showman, and then they get married in the courts with all the paperwork.”

Darryl added that the newlyweds “mentioned that they were going to get the wedding legalised the day after on the Monday.”

The Sun understands Katie’s family, including her children, Princess and Junior Andre, had no idea she was getting married for a fourth time.

A source has exclusively told us that her loved ones are set to take action after growing alarmed by the quick nuptials.

“They’re planning on sitting down with her for a serious talk today,” the insider said.

“Everyone is worried she’s spinning out of control.

“They haven’t even met this man and if she’s only known him a week, he could be anyone.

“Nobody is planning to hold back.”
