Katie Price has addressed the swirling confusion around husband Lee Andrews's two-week disappearance and his arrest in Dubai, clarifying claims about a phone being used by prison interrogators and an Instagram follow of a woman identified as Marisol. In a podcast episode released Thursday, Price recounted a two-minute call with Andrews and stated that interrogators, not Andrews himself, were responsible for the phone activity that had raised suspicions.. According to reports from The Sun, Andrews is held at Al Awir Central Prison on a civil matter, contradicting his own espionage claim, and is expected to be released Monday after payment of a four-figure sum.

The two-minute call and the interrogators' 'mucking around'

Price explained that during her brief phone conversation with Andrews, she directly asked about the reactivation of his phone while he was missing. he told her that he had not been using the device; instead,individuals interrogating him in prison had access and were "mucking around" on it. This explanation, as reported by The Sun, addresses earlier confusion when one of Andrews's phones showed activity after days of silence, with messages shifting from single to double check marks—a sign the device was being handled. The source notes that while multiple phones exist, the specific device was being used by prison staff.

Why the 'biker babe' Instagram follow became a flashpoint

Price also tackled rumors that Andrews had followed another woman on Instagram while missing. The account in question belongs to a user named Marisol, who describes herself as a "biker babe" and reportedly has a history of using matchmaking sites for wealthy individuals. Price said that a woman either activated her account and followed Andrews, or he followed her, but then the woman blocked him. No messages were exchanged. According to Price, after the block, Andrews's account showed he was only following his wife again. the social media activity left Price "beyond furious," especially given her earlier panic over Andrews's kidnapping claim,the report says.

Al Awir Central Prison: Dubai's Alcatraz and a four-figure exit

Andrews is being held at Al Awir Central Prison, nicknamed Dubai's Alcatraz, a facility known for severe conditions including torture for confessions and widespread illness, according to the reporting. Price revealed on her podcast that Andrews expressed shock at learning he had become the "most hated man in prison" after spreading the kidnapping narrative. Despite the dire circumstances, Price remains committed to the marriage and expects to learn more when he is released Monday—pending payment of a four-figure sum, the exact amount still unknown. The case echoes other high-profile detentions in the Gulf, where civil debts often escalate into extended imprisonment without transparent due process.

What remains unknown: the civil debt and Andrews's shifting story

Multiple open questions persist. First, the nature of the civil debt that led to Andrews's arrest has not been disclosed—whether it is personal, business-related, or tied to his earlier activities. Second, why Andrews initially told Price he was kidnapped and later claimed espionage when the arrest was for a civil matter remains unexplained. Price has not provided the name of the creditor or the specific amount beyond the four-figure sum. Third, the role of Marisol's account remains ambiguous: did she knowingly target Andrews, or was it a random interaction seized upon by tabloids? The source repots that Price stated a woman activated her account and followed him—but who initiated is unclear. Without Andrews's diect account, the story remains one-sided.
