‘Embarassed’ Katie Price has told how Lee Andrews ‘scammed her heart’ as she broke her silence on their split.
The former glamour model split from her husband of eight months in early September after discovering ‘he had just £2.22 in his account, despite claiming to be a millionaire’.
The TV personality has since consulted a divorce lawyer, while Lee remains in prison in Dubai and delivered a voice note from behind bars saying the split is ‘for the best’.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, Katie told hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls: ‘I feel embarrassed because I feel he scammed my heart. Do you know what I mean?
‘I feel like he scammed my heart and stole my trust that I had and me defending a man constantly because he made me believe that, “Kate, come on, you know I’m not like this.”‘
Lee had claimed he had $50million in a cryptocurrency account, but Katie recently found out he had just $3 (£2.22).
She added: ‘He hasn’t scammed me for money, but I feel he has scammed me because he fabricated a person that doesn’t exist.’
At the beginning of the segment, they also played Lee’s voice note from prison as he admitted: ‘Divorce is for the best.’
She continued: ‘I love him, but who is he? I love the man I met, but I just can’t take it. I’m not stupid, you know. I’ve been stupid.
‘Well, obviously, I was stupid to fall for him. I’ve heard the same thing. I’ve heard it for nine months. I’ve heard it. He’s been in prison for two and a half months. I’ve heard from day one he was being extradited back to England.
‘I’ve heard the same story every day. I’m coming out tomorrow. I’m coming out tomorrow… There’s only so much I can take.’
