Katie Price says she has found her missing husband Lee Andrews after he called her from a Dubai prison today.
The glamour model, who married the businessman in January, claims her husband was arrested on espionage charges and taken to Al Awir prison.
“I have found him – he is alive, and he is OK,” she told UK newspaper The Sun.
“I told him how worried I had been and told him I loved him.
“It was very rushed, but he said the authorities out there thought he was a spy. I don’t know much more than that right now.”
While the reality TV star says she had a two-minute phone conversation with Andrews, there has been no formal confirmation from authorities on his whereabouts.
Price had issued a desperate plea to help find her husband after he failed to board a flight to the UK to see her two weeks ago.

Andrews’ dad, Peter, was the first to suggest his son had been arrested by UAE authorities over an unknown charge but doubt was cast over the theory when his phone was reportedly turned on just hours later.
Andrews, 43, told Price, 48, he “missed the flight due to work commitments” and his wife was unable to get in touch with him after that.
Price was so worried he’d been kidnapped, she filed a missing person’s report with the British embassy in Dubai.
But, according to The Sun, Andrews had gone into hiding days before his May 14 arrest and was staying with his father, having moved his stuff out of his rental unit.
Andrews is expected to be released on Monday after paying a four-figure fine, according to the UK publication.
Last week Price said she was “giving up the search” for her missing husband and went on to make light of his disappearance in a post with fellow reality TV star Olivia Attwood.
Price and the Love Island star joked about being simply “2 gals. Not a husband in sight”, referencing Andrews’ disappearance, along with Attwood’s split from her husband Bradley Dack in January.
Price celebrated her birthday last week, sharing photos with two of her children, Princess and Junior, before teasing an “exciting project” on social media.
Andrews is Price’s fourth husband, after Peter Andre (2005-2009), Alex Reid (2010-2012) and Kieran Hayler (2013-2021).
