Lee Andrews has reportedly begged his wife Katie Price to set up a GoFundMe page in a bid to raise the £140,000 he needs for his release from prison.
Andrews is currently detained in Al Awir jail over a private civil matter.
Despite proclaiming he has millions in the bank, Lee has been thrown behind bars in Dubai on fraud allegations, with Katie since sharing a six-figure sum needs to be paid for his release.
After learning her husband had been arrested for fraud, Katie flew to Dubai to be at his side, and was prepared to spend £6,500 to release him after allegedly being told that was the fee required.
Yet when Katie arrived at the courthouse with her credit card in hand, she was told the fee would instead be £140,000 because Lee is involved in another case awaiting a court date, this time relating to property. Katie has declined to pay this figure.
Now, Lee has reportedly asked his wife whether there was a fundraiser set up to raise money for his release.
In a phone conversation, Katie allegedly balked at the suggestion and said: ‘No-one will do that for you, Lee, trust me. Everyone hates you.’
After speaking to Lee, in a conversation reported by The Sun, Katie has also said that despite knowing the large sum that must be paid for Lee’s release, she will ‘never’ give him any money.
‘I’ve made it clear to Lee, I will never give him money, I’ll never give a man money, I’ve done it all my life, I’ve always been the breadwinner. My divorces, I’m the one that always has to give. I said to Lee I’ll never do it.’
Asked whether she will be the breadwinner for Lee given he may not have the vast fortunes he claims, she hit back: ‘You don’t know that, I don’t know that.’
