Lee Andrews has reportedly been released from prison in Dubai after his second stint behind bars in a matter of weeks.

It was claimed that the so-called millionaire businessman was arrested 10 days ago and taken to Lahab police station in the desert.

Reports said he was frantically trying to raise £120,000 to pay off a fine, having previously even allegedly suggested selling a sex tape featuring himself and wife Katie Price for a ‘pretty penny’, which she later said does not exist.

But now, after another brief period in Dubai’s Al Awir prison, he is out.

‘Lee Andrews has today been released from Al Awir prison,’ a source told The Sun.

‘He was set free this afternoon following a short stint behind bars.’

However, Lee’s father, Peter, whom he met while in jail, still has time to do.

‘His dad, Pete, who has been caught up in Lee’s misdemeanours, remains behind bars.’

Katie’s father-in-law was allegedly arrested on his own fraud charges after being reported by a third party.

Now, despite his travel ban, it’s said that Lee hopes to fly to the UK to be with his wife, whom he married in January after days of knowing her. He has not yet met her family or her children.

Although it’s also claimed that Katie is ‘at the end of her tether’ with her fourth husband’s legal woes.

‘Whether poor Katie will be there to greet him on the other side remains to be seen,’ added the insider.

‘Right now, she is furious with it all and fed up with all the drama and white noise her husband is bringing.’

It’s said that Lee first did time in jail last autumn after allegedly taking out a £200k mortgage in his ex-girlfriend’s name without her knowledge.

After this, he was slapped with a travel ban, which Lee repeatedly denied having until Katie confirmed he did, indeed, have one. She did not reveal the conditions, and he portrayed that he was jetting to England on multiple occasions.

Then, in May, the internet was sent into a frenzy when Lee vanished and ghosted his wife, leaving her to fear he’d been kidnapped and social media sleuths to try and suss out his location.

Katie liaised with authorities in the UAE and publicly pleaded for her husband’s safe return, as he was not receiving or answering her messages. Lee’s family reported him as a missing person.

It wasn’t until weeks later that it emerged Lee was actually in jail, with court documents revealing two outstanding legal cases against him. This included an alleged £54k debt linked to a rental car company and a separate claim for approximately £15k in unpaid legal fees.

While he has been accused of scamming his exes and branded a ‘love-bomber’ and ‘narcissist’ by them, Lee has always denied any wrongdoing or criminal activity.

He also maintains that his May 2026 arrest was on spying charges after he was ‘abducted’ and ‘held at gunpoint’ before being taken to a ‘black site’.

Meanwhile, Katie’s loved ones are said to be desperate for the relationship to end and for her to ‘see sense’.

The reality TV personality has remained by her man’s side throughout his ordeals thus far, despite being instructed to ‘run for the hills’ by Lee’s past partners.

Following their reunion last month, Katie did insist that she would be questioning Lee on the accusations she’d heard, having had her ‘eyes opened’ in a meeting with his former girlfriend, Dina Taji, in which she laid out her ‘evidence’.

Then, if she didn’t ‘like the answers’ he gave, she’d be walking away.

This has not happened, though, and Katie remains very much married.

She’s also stayed relatively silent on his latest arrest, other than posting a statement to confirm the £2,000 dog they bought together was ‘happy and healthy’. Days after, Dubai-based Dina revealed she had to ‘rescue’ the male Pomsky at her animal shelter.

Katie then posted a lengthy message on her Instagram Story over the weekend, denying that she and Lee had made a sex tape that he’d be able to sell to repay his debts.

Without addressing his alleged fraud charges directly, she wrote in part: ‘I feel incredibly upset, abused and humiliated that such serious and false allegations have been shared publicly without any factual basis.’

Reps for Katie Price have been contacted for comment.

Arsenal eye move for World Cup star on free transfer after William Saliba injury

Arsenal eye move for World Cup star on free transfer after William Saliba injury

Arsenal are stepping up their contingency plans to cover for William Saliba’s potential long-term absence.

The Gunners ended their wait to become Premier League champions last season and their success was largely founded on their miserly defence.

A partnership between Gabriel Magalhaes and Saliba was central to their success but the France international could miss as much as five months with the back injury that resurfaced during the World Cup.

The 25-year-old missed the run-in during the 2022/23 season and Arsenal struggled without him, eventually missing out on the title to Manchester City.

Saliba has managed the condition ever since, but his back gave out again during France’s semi-final defeat against Spain earlier this week.

Arsenal are yet to decide on the best course of action but surgery hasn’t been ruled out.

Either way, Mikel Arteta is set to be without one of his first choice central defenders for a significant period of time.

Arsenal’s first team squad is currently blessed with potential replacements with Pierro Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera all capable of deputising, while teenager Marli Salmon could feature more prominently next term.

Arteta, however, had already been mindful of Saliba’s workload having been forced to nurse the former Saint-Etienne defender through the tail-end of last season.

Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa had emerged as a potential target, but the The Sun reports that a move for free agent John Stones is under consideration.

The 32-year-old brought the curtain down on a trophy-laden decade with Manchester City last month upon the expiration of his contract.

Stones is yet to make a decision on his future but has not ruled out remaining in England although he has attracted significant interest from abroad.

The former Everton centre-half worked with Arteta during their time together at the Etihad Stadium and could be attracted by the prospect of rekindling that relationship.

Casualty confirms major Flynn and Colonel Bard twist – with unexpected outcome

Casualty confirms major Flynn and Colonel Bard twist – with unexpected outcome

Flynn was left in absolute shock by what he uncovered (Picture: BBC / Metro)

Casualty spoilers follow for Saturday’s (July 18) episode that is now available to view on BBC iPlayer. The episode in question will air on BBC One at 8:20pm.

Flynn Byron’s (Olly Rix) world was turned upside down after an unexpected development in the investigation into Colonel Jack Bard (Mark Womack).

The Clinical Lead, as viewers know, suspected that Bard – an old acquaintance from his army days – was beating and hazing his soldiers as part of his training.

His suspicions were first piqued when a soldier was admitted following an explosion on the Wyvern Hill Estate with injuries unrelated to the blast.

Private Rory Dickson (Gwïon Morris Jones) was later admitted to the ED when a military training exercise went awry, with Flynn desperate to get the young soldier to reveal just what Bard was subjecting them to.

At first, Rory kept shtum but, with his best friend Kev in a bad way after the training exercise, he ultimately decided he would report Bard. That is, until Kev tragically died.

Up Next

Flynn decided to put a stop to the twisted colonel himself, reporting his actions. Bard was suspended pending further investigation and he showed up at the hospital in tonight’s offering of the medical drama as Flynn smirked, making it clear that he reported him.

Bard warned him to tread carefully and, in subsequent scenes, Flynn received a call to inform him that Bard has ‘nothing to answer for’.

‘He did a hatchet job on me’, Flynn shared with Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless), revealing that Bard had made out like he was a ‘bitter ex soldier with an axe to grind’.

The show favourite made it clear that he was going to ensure Bard paid and in subsequent scenes he paid a visit to the pub where all the soldiers were drinking to warn them of just how dangerous the colonel is.

Bard, however, arrived seconds later and instructed Flynn to come outside. He spoke about Adam – a friend of Flynn’s who he trained with in the army when he was just 17.

Adam was treated horrendously by Bard and subsequently took his own life, which is why Flynn is so determined to stop the twisted colonel from causing any more torment.

In a bid to antagonise Flynn, Bard said disgusting things about Adam. Holby’s Clinical Lead retaliated with a punch but Bard got the upper hand, knocking him to the floor.

Flynn reeled, horrified at the prospect of Bard getting away with his crimes. Can he ensure that this isn’t the case? Will Bard face justice?

That remains to be seen but there’s more trauma for Flynn in next week’s Lethal Legacy finale when a patient is held at gunpoint.

Inside Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks’ ‘secret romance’ as they finally go official

The secret is finally out – Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks are dating!

Following months of rumours about the pair’s romance, the 35-year-old presenter and 37-year-old podcaster Pete hard-launched their relationship earlier this week.

Pete posted a series of photos of them cuddled up in Ibiza, with the caption: ‘I guess someone has to go first…IBIZA’

It comes six months after Olivia’s split from footballer husband Bradley Dack, whom she’d known for a decade.

The couple, who rekindled a past romance after Olivia’s appearance on Love Island in 2017, tied the knot in 2023.

But, in the wake of ‘a really bad summer,’ Olivia and Bradley’s marriage fell apart – with sources citing ‘a breach of trust’ on his part as the news broke.

According to The Sun, Pete and Olivia struck up their romance at the Brit Awards in February, where they later stayed at the same hotel together.

Another source clarified: ‘Their passionate romance only started in the last few weeks, since she has split from Bradley; there was no overlap.’

Speaking about their hidden relationship, a source told Closer Magazine that Olivia has ‘always been drawn to Pete’ and ‘carried a torch for him.’

‘The secrecy has made it exciting, and they’ve spent a lot of time together – they love nights in watching movies together,’ the insider added.

Noting that Olivia and Pete ‘can’t keep their hands off each other,’ they went on to shed some light on their relationship’s dynamic.

‘Olivia is quite dramatic and intense, whereas Pete is very laid back, but somehow it works.’

The Sun’s insider described Pete as ‘a shoulder to cry on’ for Olivia during what was ‘a really horrible breakup’ from Bradley.

They added: ‘They have got closer and Pete has held a torch for Olivia for a really long time. She is hurting and vulnerable, and he was in the right place at the right time.

‘They get on really well and are taking it slow; there is no label at the moment.’

As for Bradley, he is reportedly ’embarrassed’ by news of Olivia and Pete’s secret romance.

According to The Sun, he had been ‘hopeful’ that they might reconcile their differences.

A source said: ‘Bradley is livid, he’s not surprised at all but is completely embarrassed and upset. He can’t believe Olivia has moved on so publicly and they’ve not even signed the divorce papers.

‘Bradley was hopeful for a reunion with Olivia but after this, he’s just livid and will take her to the cleaners.’

According to the tabloid, he’d ‘suspected things for the last year,’ but she had always denied there being anything romantic between her and Pete.

Pete and Olivia first met when on Towie in 2017 and have been close friends ever since, even hosting a radio show together on, uh, KISS FM.

Signs of their feelings for each other were visible from September last year, when Olivia and Pete were pictured looking cosy together on holiday in Ibiza.

Snaps from the time showed her lying in his arms as they sunbathed on the deck of a luxury yacht.

The pair maintained that they were only ‘friends’ at the time, with Pete saying how he ‘felt sick’ at the thought of people misconstruing what had been an innocent cuddle between pals.

After the pictures were published, and with Olivia reportedly in ‘the doghouse’ with Bradley, she opened up about the tension in her marriage.

Speaking on her podcast at the time, she said: ‘I think that there was stuff going on on both sides…. At the end of day, marriage is really f***ing hard.’

A month later, The Sun revealed that Olivia and Bradley had parted ways, which had ‘never been an option until now’.

‘Olivia is heartbroken,’ said a source, with both of their families ‘so intertwined’ after a long relationship.

She first met the midfielder in 2015 through mutual friends while on a night out.

The pair dated on and off for a year, but things fizzled out, with Olivia heading to the Love Island villa in an act of revenge against her ‘cheating ‘ex.’

There she finished in third place with Chris Hughes, losing out to Strictly’s Amber Davies and radio presenter Kem Cetinay.

After splitting from Chris in March 2018, she and Bradley rekindled their romance and were married five years later.

However, it wasn’t long before fans spotted signs of a strain in their marriage, with many questioning those Ibiza pics and Bradley’s absence from her Instagram grid.

Olivia said at the time: ‘He’s alive, I swear. 10 years of us. A lot has changed. Marriage is frikinnn hard (no one wants to say that part out loud), and I’m just not a faker.

‘I’m not posting pictures if they don’t reflect our reality. We are doing our thing, and if there are any more updates, you will be the first to know.’

Prior to romancing Olivia, Pete dated Towie castmates Jess Wright and Verity Chapman.

Both were short-lived dalliances, with Pete and Jess’s relationship hitting the rocks after she drunkenly kissed castmate Lewis Bloor.

Pete’s most high-profile relationship was with Megan McKenna, whom he dated for a year and a half in 2016 before breaking up amid accusations that he’d been ‘sexting’ an ex.

He was also linked to Strictly Come Dancing professional Jowita Przystal following his 2024 stint on the competition – shocking fans by sharing a passionate kiss with the dancer during a live appearance at the O2 Arena.

Other brief romances of Pete’s include his being linked to EastEnders star Danielle Harold and former Love Island star Maura Higgins.

Last month, Olivia accused Maura of ‘copying’ her career, even allegedly describing her as a ‘stalker’ to friends.

This came after Maura shared an Instagram photo with Parisian fashion influencer Michael Coste, only days after Olivia had done the same.

A source told The Sun: ‘Olivia is obviously going through a lot at the moment and trying to piece her life back together, but she has been left bemused that Maura has continued to mirror her playbook. She even jokes with her friends that Maura is her stalker.

‘There is no love lost between them and they have become very skilled at ignoring each other on the red carpet and at parties. Olivia is just amazed that these things keep happening, although she knows that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.’

Amazon Prime’s Ride or Die is the most fun I’ve had watching TV in ages

Amazon Prime’s Ride or Die is the most fun I’ve had watching TV in ages

Up Next

Hannah Waddingham as an assassin? Sign me up.

Hannah and Octavia Spencer as besties in an action-packed comedy that actually makes me belly laugh? Inject it into my veins.

Ride or Die, the high-octane Amazon Prime series that launched this week, follows two friends who are forced to fight for their lives when they become embroiled in a criminal conspiracy.

Debbie (Octavia) is an upstanding citizen, the wife of MP David (Jamie Parker), who writes all of his speeches and is clearly the brains behind his entire political career.

Judith (Hannah) is a forensic accountant… or so she says. Unbeknownst to most of the world (including Debbie), she’s actually a deadly assassin who’s been in operation for 30 years, ever since she was recruited by her boss, The Director (Bill Nighy), as a teenager.

Debbie knows Judith as the woman who she bonds with over antiques, and who she has a giggle with at bookclub. Then one night, her world is turned upside down when they wind up at the same gala, where Judith is meant to assassinate the criminal Billy Donovan (Ed Skrein).

Key details on Ride or Die

What’s Ride or Die about?

The official Amazon Prime synopsis reads:

‘Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne (Octavia Spencer) and Judith Burton (Hannah Waddingham) who thought they knew everything about each other, except Judith turns out to be an international assassin.

‘When a mysterious figure emerges from Judith’s past and a hit goes horribly wrong, both of their worlds are turned upside down as they’re forced to go on the run together. It’s a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals at their heels.’

Who’s in the cast?

  • Octavia Spencer as Debbie
  • Hannah Waddingham as Judith, Debbie’s best friend and an elite assassin
  • Ed Skrein as Billy Donovan
  • Calam Lynch as Sam
  • Savannah Steyn as Queenie
  • Jamie Parker as David
  • Sylvia Hoeks as Ana
  • Bill Nighy as The Director
  • Jacky Ido as Jacques

How many episodes are there and how to watch?

All eight episodes are available to stream on Amazon Prime.

The women go on the run after the hit goes wrong, despite Debbie feeling deeply hurt by her friend’s betrayal, and Judith exposing a vulnerability that she’s never had on a mission before: the risk of losing someone she loves dearly.

Hannah, 51, and Octavia, 56, are comedy heaven together. It was a stroke of genius to have Tessa Coates create this series, a writer, actor and comedian who’s performed at Edinburgh Fringe and as part of the sketch trio Massive Dad.

The show strikes a fantastic balance of comedy and action, especially when Debbie and Judith are bickering or gossiping like real friends would. Sign me up to that wine and cheese night right now.

Their story feels rooted in authenticity, and much of that is down to Tessa’s light-hearted touch. I think of my closest girlfriends as my soulmates (thanks to Sex and the City’s Samantha Jones for putting that thought into my head years ago), and I could see that unbreakable bond in Judith and Debbie, too.

Thelma and Louise. Rachel, Monica and Phoebe in Friends. Jess and Cece in New Girl. Annie and Lillian in Bridesmaids. Female friendship is a very special thing, and amidst the action in Ride or Die (which goes to gruesome extremes that I wasn’t expecting), it is beautiful to behold.

Up Next

If you thought that this series would pull its punches when it comes to the violence, think again.

I physically winced watching someone have part of their ear bitten off, and Hannah is absolutely stellar in her fight sequences, having performed nearly all of her own stunts.

I don’t feel the need to make a big song and dance of Hannah’s age, but it is still worth acknowledging how epic and rare it is to see a 51-year-old woman in a powerful action role like this one.

She’s not the first – Michelle Yeoh was sensational in Everything Everywhere All At Once, as was Viola Davis in The Woman King and Robin Wright as the Amazonian General Antiope in Wonder Woman. More of this, please! (My fingers are already crossed for a second season).

Verdict on Ride or Die

You will have an absolute blast watching Ride or Die. Trust me – you don’t want to miss it.

Ride or Die is an entertaining buddy comedy… but it goes much further than that. In a world centred around assassins, this series ventures to some vicious places.

This isn’t just a jolly where you know that all of your favourite characters are going to make it out alive. A character who’s introduced for comic relief one minute could be shot in the head the next.

Bill Nighy is purely Bill Nighy, starring as the stoic, understated head of the assassination agency, while Calam Lynch and Savannah Steyn have a magnetising dynamic in their secondary roles as Judith’s handler Sam and tech whizz Queenie. 

The series might veer into clichés every now and then, but who cares? It’s rip-roaring fun, and fans will find it hard to resist bingeing it all in one go. 

Ride or Die is available to watch on Prime Video.
