Katie Price’s honeymoon in Dubai has been hit by fresh drama after claims her new husband, Lee Andrews, punched Kerry Katona’s boyfriend Paolo Margaglione during a heated hotel confrontation.
The incident is alleged to have happened last week after Kerry, 45, and Paolo, 33 — who has been dating the former pop star since last summer — joined Katie, 47, and Lee, 38, during the couple’s sunshine break.
According to the report, what began as a friendly meet-up between the couples quickly spiralled into chaos, with an onlooker claiming the situation erupted in a public area of the hotel where Kerry and Paolo were staying.
‘Cross Words’ — Then It Escalated Fast
The Sun reports that Kerry was not present at the moment the alleged altercation took place.
An onlooker claimed Lee was having “cross words” with Katie and appeared to be acting in an aggressive manner. They alleged Paolo then stepped in — and that’s when Lee became “very angry,” shouting at him before throwing punches.
“It all got very heated,” the witness claimed, adding that one punch allegedly landed Paolo “square on the head.”
Another onlooker described the scene as shocking, saying the argument felt intense but then “erupted very quickly,” leaving little time for anyone to react. They also claimed Paolo looked stunned afterwards and walked away.
Katie and Lee were then reportedly seen leaving shortly after.
‘Katie Looked Shocked’
A further witness alleged Katie didn’t seem in a good way during the aftermath and appeared shocked by what had happened.
Paolo is said to have left the area following the alleged blow.
Friendship ‘Set the Cat Among the Pigeons’
The report goes on to claim the fallout has strained the long-standing friendship between Katie and Kerry.
A source alleged: “Katie and Kerry were great friends but this has really set the cat amongst the pigeons. Kerry didn’t see any of this happen — Paolo told her about it and naturally she was upset.”
They added that while Kerry “absolutely loves Katie,” she and Paolo allegedly “saw a side of Lee that they didn’t like,” leaving their bond with Katie under pressure.
A representative for Kerry and Paolo reportedly declined to comment.
Katie and Lee were also contacted, and were quoted as responding: “F**k off.”
Family ‘Worried’ Over Baby Talk and Social Posts
The claims come amid ongoing concern from people close to Katie, after she publicly suggested she wants to have a baby with Lee and posted a fiery message aimed at one of his ex-partners, Alana Percival.
In the statement posted online, Katie wrote that she is married to Lee and told the ex to “go live your life,” adding: “Please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I’m having his child.”
But sources close to Katie’s family reportedly questioned whether the post was even written by her, claiming the message was unusually “word perfect,” and pointing out she often makes spelling errors. They also alleged she doesn’t typically use Instagram Stories confidently — leading them to suspect someone else may have posted it.
A friend was quoted as saying the baby talk is worrying, especially as the couple married on January 25 after a short whirlwind romance, and Katie has reportedly been spending long stretches away from home in the UK while in Dubai.
They also claimed contact with Katie has been “sketchy and sporadic,” adding to the unease.
What Happens Next?
For now, everything remains allegations, with no official confirmation from the parties involved beyond the reported responses — but the claims have already ignited intense debate online, especially given Katie’s recent whirlwind marriage and the very public “baby” hints.
