Travel ban confusion
Since the beginning of their relationship, there has been speculation over whether Lee is currently on a travel ban as Katie was continually seen to travel to Dubai to visit her hubby but Lee was not seen to enter the UK.
This was further heightened when happy to move onwith Katie on Good Morning Britain on May 12. While the show contacted the Foreign Office to see if Lee was on a travel ban, the self-proclaimed businessman denied these allegations.
During the interview, Katie was seen to defend her husband and their relationship on her own while Lee claimed he was at the airport trying to make his way to the UK.
However, Katie revealed Lee “eventually” confessed to her he does in fact have a ban. She recalled telling him he made her “look like a d**k” by not informing her, while insisting she “won’t stand for” lies.
Ultimatum
During the interview, Katie shared she is at the end of her tether after a “tough few weeks” trying to get to the bottom of Lee’s legal troubles. She also insisted while she is working hard to help her husband at the moment, she is£140,000 for Lee’s freedom with her life if she doesn’t get a response she likes.
She said: “I’m not a mug and when I finally see Lee, I am going to question him. And if the answers I get are not right, that will be it: I’ll be done. That’s it. And I’ll just get on with my life… and not find a man on Instagram and message him.”
Paying Lee’s release fee
When it was reported Lee had been found in a Dubai prison after going “missing” for two weeks, it was said he would need to pay a four-figure sum to be released from jail on June 1. However, there turns out to be more to this story as Lee is still residing in the same prison now.
The Sun reports when Katie arrived at Al Awir prison last week with Lee’s case number she was told his release sum would be £6,500. However, while Katie was ready to hand over her credit card, she was quickly informed of a third case that needed to be paid.
Reportedly still awaiting a court date, this case is understood to be “relating to a property”. If this news wasn’t bad enough, Katie reportedly would have had to fork out Get Daily Record Premium for just £1 per month in exclusive offer to celebrate the World Cup, which the star drew a line at.
Meeting his ex
While attempting to get her husband out of jail, Katie also met up with Lee’s ex Dina, who is set to feature in a feature episode of Katie podcast, The Katie Price Show. While the episode hasn’t yet been released, there have been clips circulating online of the pair chatting about Lee.
Dina said: “Well I was basically dating Lee – unfortunately – for three and a half years so I know [you’ve] probably seen some of my pictures that showed up on social media.”
Katie added: “I came to Dina about one of the cases because I thought, is Dina involved? And then obviously we had a cup of tea, as girls do, we’ve had a long chat, and that’s for us to know, and for you to find out in the future. On that note, I’m glad we met Dina.”
Speaking more about their interaction with the Sun, Katie claims her “eyes have been opened” when it comes to her husband. However, she added: “I just need some time to think. I still cannot end things with Lee until I’ve spoken to him, but that was a lot.”
Still loves him
Despite the stress and anxiety Lee has put Katie through over the past few weeks, Katie insists she still can’t leave Lee behind as she loves him.
She confessed: “He has been kind to me, and treated me better than anyone. I love him, I am loyal, and I am not going to sit here slagging off my husband. I cannot just walk away from my marriage without seeing him again. He is, surely, entitled to his say?”
