Katie Price Ends Marriage Over Financial Dispute

Published 19 September 2026

Katie Price has confirmed the end of her marriage to Lee Andrews, revealing that a loss of trust over his financial claims led to the split. The 48-year-old former glamour model announced the separation during an emotional interview on Good Morning Britain on September 16, 2026, stating she felt Andrews had "scammed my heart." Price detailed how she began questioning Andrews' wealth after he claimed to have a cryptocurrency fortune of 50 million USDT. With assistance from a friend versed in cryptocurrency, she examined a wallet he provided and found a balance of only about 2.22. Furthermore, an engagement ring he asserted was worth £72,000 was valued at approximately £5,000 and contained lab-grown diamonds, which Price said left her embarrassed. Lee Andrews, 42, responded from detention in Dubai through a voice note broadcast on the program. He disputed Price's allegations, claiming she accessed the wrong wallet and that his legitimate funds of 50 million USDT are held elsewhere. Andrews offered to transfer £10,000 in cryptocurrency to the show's hosts to demonstrate his financial capacity and proposed taking a lie detector test to verify his claims.
