Katie Price is ready to be “done” with her marriage to Lee Andrews.
The 48-year-old former glamour model married the businessman in Dubai in January, just days after they met in person for the first time, and, amid questions about his conduct, he failed to fly to the UK as planned last month before going missing, only for Katie to eventually find he is in the UAE’s Al-Awir prison, despite her fears he had been kidnapped.
Katie has so far been unsuccessful in her attempts to visit Lee behind bars, but once she does get to speak to him, she has vowed to end their marriage if she isn’t happy with what he has to say.
She told The Sun newspaper: “I’m not a mug and when I finally see Lee, I’m going to question him.
“And if the answers I get aren’t right, that’ll be it, I’ll be done.
“That’s it. And I’ll just get on with my life… and not find a man on Instagram.”
Katie has met with one of Lee’s former girlfriends, Dina Taji, and spent six hours going through her phone and laptop as she heard about her experiences with the businessman, when he allegedly forged her signature on a £200,000 mortgage, leading to him being banned from leaving the UAE.
Katie said: “My eyes have been opened. I just need some time to think. I still cannot end things with Lee until I’ve spoken to him but that was a lot.”
The reality TV star has also spoken to Lee’s former fiancee, Alana Percival, who has accsed her ex-partner of psychological and physical abuse, but she feels she owes it to Lee to hear his side of the story before making any decisions on their future.
She said: “I am not ignoring these women. I mean, I’ve just met Dina, I’ve spoken to Alana.
“One day, who knows, if I’m not with Lee, I would meet up with them. Just for clarity.
“But right now, I’m sticking up for myself. He’s got a side of the story, so have these women.
“So I think it’s really unfair as well, just to listen to what these women are saying because there’s always two sides to every story.
“I cannot just walk away from my marriage without seeing him again. He is, surely, entitled to his say.”
Despite hearing negative things about Lee from his previous partners, Katie insisted her own experiences have been different.
The mother-of-five said: “He’s never laid a finger on me. He’s been kind to me and treated me better than anyone.
“I love him. I am loyal and I’m not going to sit here slagging off my husband.
“I think some of these women are just bitter exes. They have done enough warning now, just leave it.
“I’m a big girl. I can look after myself.”
