Katie Price’s whirlwind romance with businessman Lee Andrews has taken a surprising turn, as new reports reveal he left behind a hefty, unpaid bill at the luxury Dubai hotel where they exchanged vows.
The glamorous model, 47, married Lee in a fairytale ceremony at the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel in January, just days after announcing their engagement at another lavish Dubai venue, the Burj Al Arab. However, sources have now revealed that despite promises to settle the bill, Lee has yet to pay for their stay — leaving hotel staff frustrated.
A Lavish Wedding, But An Unsettling Aftermath
Six weeks after their extravagant wedding, which took place just seven days after the couple first met, it’s claimed that Lee still hasn’t paid the thousands of pounds for their luxurious stay. The rooms, reportedly costing around £2,000 per night, were left unpaid, sparking backlash from hotel staff.
Despite promising to return and pay the outstanding costs, believed to run into thousands of pounds with rooms costing around £2,000 a night, he still hasn’t paid, leaving staff frustrated
“Lee Andrews has not yet paid the One&Only Royal Mirage hotel where he and Katie Price got married. He promised to settle the outstanding bills but still hasn’t, and it’s been over six weeks,” a source told The Sun.
Katie, who was seen enjoying romantic moments with Lee, including exchanging kisses and holding hands, now faces a growing storm of controversy surrounding her latest marriage.
Katie’s whirlwind engagement and marriage have left her close family, including her children Junior and Princess Andre, ‘stunned’
A History of Red Flags and a Rocky Start
The couple’s whirlwind romance raised eyebrows from the beginning, with Katie’s family, including her mother Amy Price, expressing concern over the speed at which things moved. Just 16 days after Katie revealed she had split from her previous partner, Married at First Sight’s JJ Slater, she was engaged to Lee.
What’s more troubling is Lee’s past, which includes a previous engagement to personal trainer Alana Percival just months before his marriage to Katie. Lee has also been accused of misleading people about his alleged wealth, including claims of owning a £36 million mansion in Dubai — a story his exes say is not true.
In 2025, Lee was imprisoned in Dubai for fraud after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend’s signature to take out a £200,000 mortgage in her name.
The Strain on Katie’s Family
Katie’s sudden marriage to Lee and the drama surrounding it have left her family deeply shaken. On a recent episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, her sister Sophie shared her frustration with the situation. Sophie openly expressed how Katie’s impulsive decisions had caused stress and emotional turmoil for the family, even bringing their mother to tears.
Meanwhile, Katie’s children, Junior and Princess Andre, were stunned to discover via a family group chat that their mother had remarried for the fourth time. Princess admitted to being “shell-shocked” after receiving the news, calling her mother’s quick decision to marry a stranger “impulsive on a whole other level.”
A Marriage in Turmoil Amid a Global Crisis
Now, with Katie back in the UK and travel restrictions in place due to the ongoing war in the Middle East, the couple is only in contact through FaceTime. Lee, unable to leave Dubai, is left to deal with the fallout of their hasty wedding while Katie faces growing family concerns.
As the dust settles, it seems that the drama surrounding Katie’s fourth marriage is far from over. Fans and family alike are left wondering: will Lee ever settle the bill, and what’s next for this controversial couple?
Stay tuned as this explosive story continues to unfold.
