Katie Price’s husband, Lee Andrews, has reportedly been arrested again in Dubai only weeks after being released from Al Awir prison.
The Mirror reported that Andrews was taken to Lahbab police station on Friday, July 10, while attempting to settle a £120,000 financial demand.
The Sun report quoted Andrews as allegedly telling a friend, “They’ve arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out,” before suggesting that attention should be raised through a GoFundMe campaign.
The Sun said a spokesperson for Lahbab police station had no record of Andrews being held there, while Price’s representative declined to comment.
Earlier Legal Troubles for Andrew in the UAE

The reported £120,000 figure differs from the debt breakdown previously linked to Andrews’ legal problems in the United Arab Emirates.
The Sun reported that one matter involved 266,060 dirhams, approximately £54,000, allegedly owed to Rotana Star Rent-a-Car over a vehicle agreement dating to 2022. A second matter reportedly involved 74,817.50 dirhams, approximately £15,000, owed to a UAE law firm.
The outlet said the second amount was not technically a fine but could have triggered attention from the Criminal Investigation Department if Andrews attempted to leave Dubai.
Andrews Was In Al Awir Prison
Andrews previously spent several weeks inside Al Awir prison after disappearing in May and failing to attend a scheduled television appearance with Price.
Early explanations included claims that he had been kidnapped or detained over suspicions of espionage. The Evening Standard later reported that authorities described the matter as a private civil issue.
After his release, Andrews returned to social media and denied that he had been imprisoned for fraud or criminal activity. ITV News reported that he instead claimed he had been taken at gunpoint near the UAE-Oman border before entering custody.
The Current Arrest Report Remains Unconfirmed
Price’s search for Andrews became public in May after he missed a planned U.K. television appearance.
The Evening Standard reported in May that the U.K. Foreign Office was supporting the family of a British man and was in contact with local authorities, without naming Andrews directly in the statement.
Price is currently in the United Kingdom following the release of her documentary Katie Price: Nothing to Hide. Neither she nor Andrews has issued a public statement confirming his current location, the reported new arrest or whether the £120,000 payment has been ordered by a court.
