Katie Price and husband Lee Andrews are facingfresh scrutiny over their marriageafter the model publicly accused him of lying about flying back to the UK, with the row spilling onto Instagram and their joint appearance onGood Morning Britaincollapsing at the last minute.
The news came afterLee, who has been based in Dubai with Katie, failed to show up for a planned TV slot in London and was then called out by both Katie and her sister Sophie on their podcast. According to Katie, Lee had told her he was about to board a flight from Muscat to the UK but never arrived, prompting questions from fans and fuelling speculation that all is not well between the newlyweds. Nothing has been confirmed about the state of their relationship, so any talk of a split should still be treated with caution.

For starters, the latest controversy began with something relatively simple, Lee was meant to join Katie onGood Morning Britain. Instead, she turned up alone. OnThe Katie Price Showpodcast, the 46-year-old described how she had expected her fourth husband to be on a connecting flight from Muscat.
'I've said to him, he needs to make it to the UK, because if he doesn't, then it's obviously something not right going on,' she told listeners, making it clear she saw his no-show as more than a scheduling mishap.
Katie went further, accusing Lee of repeatedly telling her he was coming back, then cancelling. 'It's the fact you keep saying you're coming and then don't come. Of course, everyone is going to flag up. Even I've flagged it up to him,' she said, adding that this time she had confronted him more forcefully.

'Big time I've flagged it up now. I said, 'Don't do that to me again. Me having to go on live TV without you and make me look stupid and a d***.' She then acknowledged the barrage of criticism she receives online, noting, 'No wonder everyone's saying, 'You're this, you're that,' because they've got a reason to say it. I agree with everyone.'
On the podcast, her younger sister Sophie backed up that sense of frustration. She told Katie that, in her view, Lee was 'massively mugging you off' and had done it publicly by failing to appear on live TV. Sophie made clear she did not want an argument but said she disliked his behaviour on social media and was only voicing concerns because she wanted the best for her sister.
While Katie Price continued talking openly about her disappointment, Lee Andrews chose a quieter route, making one small but telling change online. His Instagram bio still describes him as Katie's husband and notes that the account is a 'managed page.' Yet comments on several of his older posts have now been turned off.
