British TV personality Katie Price has released a statement claiming her husband Lee Andrews is missing as he tried to cross the Oman border.
On YouTube, the 47-year-old shared in a video that though she put a story on Instagram saying that Andrews, 43, is taking time away from social media, “the truth is Lee has been missing for three days.”
She shared that the last time she heard from her husband was on Wednesday night at 10 pm local time, as he was trying to cross the border near Hatta in Oman.

It’s close to Dubai where he lives.
“He was trying to go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to me,” she said, adding the situation was “just discombobulating.”
The media personality claimed in his last call, Lee was wearing a hood and seemed to be in an old van with his hands tied in front of him.
“He sounded really worried and said like whispering, ‘They’re coming for me now. They’re coming for me. I’ve got to go. I’ve got to go.’ And that was it,” Price said.

The former model says she has been in touch with the authorities in Dubai, who she says told her there is no record of Andrews in prisons or police stations.
Despite this, Price claims her sister has been getting emails claiming that Andrews has been arrested.
“We’re wondering if he’s been kidnapped. He’s definitely a missing person now,” she claimed.
She ended her video with the hope that “we find him soon and have some explanations.”
“And if he has been arrested, really has been arrested, even though I’ve been told they can’t find him anywhere, I just want to know it’s all right and he’s all right and what he’s been arrested for,” she said.
Her latest update comes four days after she denied on live TV that her husband had been detained in Dubai during a joint scheduled appearance on Good Morning Britain.

They were talk about how they married just weeks after they met, and one day after they got engaged in January.
However, Andrews never made it to the appearance, forcing Price to deny reports he had been detained in the United Arab Emirates.
Following their whirlwind marriage, British media reports Andrews was banned from leaving Dubai after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend’s signature to secure a $374,000 loan.
GMB presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls said they had contacted the UK Foreign Office and were informed it had “supported a British man detained in the United Arab Emirates”.
But at the time, the mother-of-five said the man was not him.
“He’s just sent me pictures, he’s now at the airport, he’s on his way,” she said.
Price said he was flying in from Muscat, Oman, after finishing some business.
Balls asked Price if Andrews was “unreliable”.
“No, not to me he hasn’t been. Not at all,” she said.
She said that after spending time in Dubai, she told Andrews her work and children meant he needed to spend more time in the UK and they planned to live there.
