Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has been plunged into fresh controversy after explosive claims from his ex-fiancée surfaced online, accusing him of scamming a woman out of more than $150,000 while admitting to emotionally manipulating another for personal gain. The 42-year-old businessman, who tied the knot with the 47-year-old former glamour model in a whirlwind ceremony in Dubai just weeks after they met in February 2026, now faces renewed scrutiny over his past relationships and financial dealings.
The latest allegations come from Alana Percival, Lee’s former fiancée, who has been vocal on Instagram since news of his marriage to Katie Price broke. Alana shared a series of posts including alleged direct messages from Lee in which he confessed to “playing a woman to his advantage.” In the message, Lee reportedly wrote: “Things I’ve said that are not my character I used that American to my advantage and played on her feelings, it’s hard for me to admit this now. But that’s the harsh truth. It’s played its part. It shouldn’t have come at the cost of me and you.” He continued by expressing regret, saying he had “destroyed the magic” between himself and Alana and that his heart “pines” for her, even referencing moving “f*****g huge impossible mountains in prison” just to see her.
Alana captioned the revealing post: “Scamming a poor woman for over $150,000. Travel ban and scamming and so much more.” She also shared a screenshot showing Lee’s company, Aura Worldwide Holdings, registered in the British Virgin Islands, had been dissolved in 2024. Sources close to the situation suggest Alana was dating Lee at the same time he was romancing Crystal Janke, a 40-year-old woman from Texas. Crystal previously claimed Lee convinced her to hand over £123,000 (roughly $150,000) to invest in his business, promising a staggering return of £1 million. When Crystal grew suspicious, her sister hired a private investigator who allegedly uncovered that Lee was seeing Alana simultaneously. Crystal believed Lee had been planning to propose to her in the same lavish style he did to Alana — at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab — just two weeks apart, after the pair had even looked at engagement rings together.
The timing of these revelations has added fuel to the fire surrounding Katie and Lee’s high-profile but turbulent union. The couple’s romance moved at lightning speed, culminating in a glamorous wedding in Dubai. However, questions have swirled ever since about Lee’s business claims and his ability to return to the UK. Reports indicate Lee was previously banned from leaving Dubai after spending three weeks in a UAE jail for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan. Despite this, Katie has publicly defended her new husband, insisting in interviews and social media that he is “not a scammer” and that she trusts him completely, even declining to sign a prenuptial agreement.
On April 1, 2026, Katie posted a YouTube video hinting at an imminent trip to Dubai to see Lee. Yet Lee’s own Instagram story that same day showed him at what appeared to be an airport, complete with an airplane emoji and songs titled “Airplanes” and “Coming Home,” suggesting he might be heading back to the UK — a move that contradicts earlier statements about his travel restrictions. Lee has also shared cryptic posts, including an animation with the caption “One day, the distance will be just a story we tell,” set to Britney Spears’ “Criminal.”
Alana’s posts paint a picture of Lee as someone who showered her with expensive gifts — including a Louis Vuitton handbag, Cartier jewellery, and thousands of pounds in transfers — after connecting on Facebook in March 2025, before proposing in September 2025. She claims multiple women have come forward with similar stories of financial and emotional exploitation. Lee has previously denied Crystal’s scam allegations, and he has also dismissed claims of taking $1,000 from another woman without repayment.
The Daily Mail reached out to Lee for comment on the latest accusations, but no response had been received at the time of publication. Katie Price, who has five children from previous relationships, has faced intense public interest in her personal life for decades. Her marriage to Lee came as a surprise to many fans, especially given the speed at which it unfolded and the swirling rumours about his background.
As more details emerge from Lee’s ex-partners, questions continue to mount about the reality behind the businessman’s millionaire image and whether his relationship with Katie Price is built on genuine affection or something far more complicated. With Alana continuing to share screenshots and claims, and Crystal’s story still fresh in the public mind, the couple’s fairy-tale Dubai wedding is increasingly overshadowed by allegations of manipulation, broken promises, and significant financial losses.
Whether these claims will lead to any formal investigations remains unclear, but the steady drip of messages and accusations has left many wondering just how well Katie truly knows the man she impulsively married. For now, Lee Andrews remains in Dubai, while his new wife navigates yet another storm in her famously dramatic love life.
