Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews’ ex-girlfriend Alana Percival has claimed she has received ‘threatening’ messages at 2 o’clock in the morning from ‘someone connected to him’

Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews’ has been missing and reportedly ‘kidnapped’, and in the latest update to the ongoing saga, his ex-girlfriend has claimed she has received some worrying messages.

“Last night I received a DM from someone very well connected to the ongoing Lee Andrews situation,” Alana claimed on her Instagram Story. “The message contained subtle undertones that I interpreted as threatening, implying that if Lee Andrews were to harm himself, somehow that responsibility would fall on me.”

Alana dated Lee before he met Katie, and even got engaged to the Dubai-based businessman four months before he proposed to Katie. In fact, Lee popped the question to Alana with a proposal that was almost an exact replica of his proposal to Katie.

Since his disappearance, Alana has spoken out claiming that he is playing “sick games” and also pulled similar airport stunts with her while they were together. She revealed that she has been warned off continuing to “speak out” about Lee, but wanted to respond, and continue to speak out to help other women.

“There were also suggestions that I should stop speaking out, delete things from my phone, and stay quiet because this is now ‘a police matter.’ So let me respond publicly.

If everything that has been exposed about my personal life helps even one woman recognise red flags, leave an unhealthy situation, or avoid ending up in one like I did, then every bit of stress, scrutiny, and intrusion into my life will have been worth it.”

Alana went on to add: “When all of this first started, I knew had a choice: stay quiet, or speak up for women who either don’t yet realise the situation they’re in or don’t feel they have a voice.

“I chose to speak up, and I will continue to highlight harmful behaviour in the hope it protects someone else. And finally – I would appreciate people not sending subtly threatening messages to me at 2am.”

The kidnapping saga began when Katie was forced to appear on Good Morning Britain on her own, after Lee claimed that he was stuck at Muscat airport in Dubai. Alana has revealed that when she was with Lee he often would stand her up after claiming to be at the airport.

Alana shared videos Lee sent her, where he claimed he was about to board a flight to the UK but was unable to because of a “flight risk”. In a video she shared, he was picking up his bags and said: “I’m going to check out now, Oman Air, get my refund issued. I’m going to check Oman Air and Virgin and British Airways, OK. And I will call you later.

“Terminal 2 is where Oman Air is so I am going to go and line now, just while they issue my refund, that just takes one minute. It’s just the desk behind me in there. I am at the business section. I just came outside because I was using words like flight risk and so on. I love you. I’ll sort it, OK.”

Over the top of the video, Alana wrote: “Another time he ‘pretended’ to be coming to the UK to come and see me. Wearing his cap so facial recognition doesn’t get him. Hahaha. More lies, lies and more lies.

“Delusional is an understatement. This excuse is one of sooo many but a flight risk if this one. He went all the way to the airport to lie when he cannot travel, lol.” Lee has insisted that he is free to travel.

The police were able to recover a range of suspected stolen items.

Six men have been charged after targeted police action to tackle organised burglary and theft across several counties. Cambridgeshire Police have been working with Norfolk Constabulary to carry out four simultaneous warrants in Cottenham and its surrounding areas in May as part of an ongoing investigation.

Officers from the Acquisitive Crime Team, Neighbourhood Policing Teams, the Rural Crime Action Team and other specialist units arrested nine people in connection with burglary and firearms offences. This was following on from an earlier warrant where the team found multiple stolen items.

The items included a caravan and jewellery. Six people were arrested in connection to firearms and burglary offences.

Six men have since been charged with conspiracy to commit dwelling burglary and conspiracy to commit theft offences committed across counties including Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Kent between December 2025 and May 2026.

Those charged are:

• Michael Wall, 25, of Water Lane, Cottenham
• Patrick Wall, 22, of Hampstead Lane, Nettlestead, Maidstone
• Kevin Wall, 23, of Water Lane, Cottenham
• Patrick Boswell, 34, of Eagle Way, Northstowe
• Daniel Sheridan, 43, of Water Lane, Cottenham
• Richard Wall, 25, of Waddelow Road, Waterbeach

Richard Wall was also charged with three counts of assault on an emergency worker. Officers recovered more suspected stolen items such as firearms and ammunition, vehicles, and plant equipment.

Detective Inspector Alice Draper, from the Acquisitive Crime Team, said: “This activity has enabled us to disrupt organised criminality and remove suspected stolen property from circulation.

“We understand the significant impact these offences have on communities and want to reassure the public that criminal behaviour will be robustly dealt with.”

“How many other children out there are being left in danger right now?”

Scotland faces calls for a child protection overhaul after a report highlighted how a monstrous paedophile ring was allowed to wreck young lives for years. MSP Paul Sweeney slammed the social work operation in Glasgow after the “Beastie House” abusers were enabled to reign at a filthy flat in the city, despite 25 glaring opportunities for meaningful intervention.

He has called for “real accountability” for the many decisions that led to effective blindness to the most serious harms being inflicted on three defenceless kids. And the Children First charity is now asking if the nation’s child protection system is fit for purpose, given the way children were failed.

Sweeney was shocked at the revelations that showed the victims were being closely monitored by social workers during all the years they were raped and tortured. But the kids were allowed to remain in their dire homes – where they were systematically and inhumanly abused and shared out among the vile group.

The care system designated to help them somehow failed to escalate their cases to bring removal from their abusers. Sweeney said the independent report, commissioned by Glasgow’s Child Protection Committee, should signal a shake-up that challenges the accounts and excuses given by adults suspected of abuse.

He said: “This harrowing report lays bare a catastrophic, systemic failure of child protection in Glasgow. To think that there were 25 missed opportunities to rescue these vulnerable children over 16 years is a devastating indictment that must shake our public services to the very core.

“The system completely failed in its most fundamental duty: to listen to, protect, and defend the three children from these seven beasts who were hiding in plain sight.“ The MSP said the findings should not be regarded as historic errors or allowed them to be “brushed off” with hollow promises of “lessons learned”.

He added: “There must be real accountability for the institutional blindness that allowed this horrific abuse to persist for so long. How many other children out there are being left in danger right now?

“We need to know exactly why these red flags were repeatedly ignored, why agencies failed to communicate, and who is being held responsible for these potentially fatal lapses in judgement.”

Drug addicts Iain Owens, 46, Elaine Lannery, 40, Lesley Williams, 43, Paul Brannan, 42, Scott Forbes, 51, Barry Watson, 48, and John Clark, 48, were all found guilty of monstrous abuse, including rape, following a harrowing trial at the High Court in Glasgow in 2023.

The Daily Record revealed the “learning review” documented many glaring red flags that would indicate a high risk of abuse. Attacks on children were allowed to escalate for 16 years between the birth of one victim in 2007 and the jailing of the gang of seven for a total of 93 years in 2023.

Children at the centre of the case were known to authorities from infancy. Agencies were visiting on a weekly, sometimes daily basis but critical information was not meaningfully analysed and shared. Kids were repeatedly kept off the Child Protection Register, despite missing school presenting with chronic headlice and begging food from people living near the dingy flat where they lived in Govan.

Primary school-age children were made to eat dog food and abuse each other while molesters egged them on. One child was put in a microwave and a locked fridge and freezer. But social workers repeatedly suggested they had warm and loving interactions with adults who were caring for them

Colin Anderson, independent chair of Glasgow’s Child Protection Committee, admitted the case was the worst he had encountered in 50 years. And he said the learnings from it may lead to an overhaul of a system that can incidentally facilitate the prolonging of abuse – even when kids are subjected to drug abuse, neglect and violence.

The “keystone” concern identified in the report is to listen to children – both in what they say and the non-verbal language that should have screamed of abuse to the many professionals who downplayed the risks or looked the other way. Despite the severity of the case, Mr Anderson said he could not guarantee such failings may not happen again.

He said: “There was a culture whereby rather than focusing on the children rather than listening to the children taking evidence from the children that they listened to the adults, that’s something that rang right across this report.”

Mr Anderson said protection strategies like Scotland’s GIRFEC (Getting It Right For Every Child) and The Promise had helped many kids – but admitted the children in this case were appallingly failed. Horrors that emerged from the review include a four-month-old child being removed from the child protection register in 2007 despite a health visitor warning of “significant” ongoing risks.

The damning report listed 13 “practice and organisational learnings” – demanding that more focus is placed on the words and demeanour of children. The report states the re-referral of children to Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration in 2019, demonstrated a prompt and effective of the legal framework.

But it adds that a decision not to refer in 2018 was “seriously flawed”, given it came after “concerns about the children being dirty and having headlice and being late or absent from school.” Mary Glasgow, Chief Executive of Scottish charity Children First said: “Child protection work is complex and the consequences of getting it wrong are devastating.

“It takes significant time, expertise and resources to get it right. We have to ask ourselves if we have a child protection system that is fit for purpose and if we are prepared to invest properly in what it takes to keep children safe?”

Glasgow said much of what is highlighted in the report, commissioned by Glasgow City Council, has been flagged in similar reviews, over decades. She added: “As this review emphasises, too often professionals and services focus on the adults and overlook the needs and rights of the children. Professionals must be curious, vigilant and inquisitive when worried about a child’s behaviour, whatever it looks like.

“Behaviour should never be interpreted as ‘bad’ but seen for what it is – an indicator that something is wrong.”

An NSPCC Scotland spokesperson said the report highlights the “critical importance” of professional curiosity and scrutiny – rather than being fobbed off by the lies of abusive adults.

The spokesperson said: “It is utterly heartbreaking that the children were subjected to such appalling abuse over such a prolonged period. While those convicted of these crimes are responsible for their actions, it is devastating that these children were not protected by others involved in their lives.

“This review highlights the critical importance of professional curiosity and scrutiny. It underlines the need for professionals to ask probing questions, not to take things at face value, share and connect information effectively, and carry out robust assessments to fully understand the impact of adult behaviour on children.”

The spokesperson said focus must remain on the child – speaking and listening to them, recognising signs of distress, and understanding what their behaviour and physical presentation may be telling us. They added: “There is significant learning for all agencies and organisations from this case, and at the NSPCC we are committed to taking the time to fully consider the report and its recommendations.”

Glasgow City Council stated an improvement plan is being worked in, which will focus on listening to children – both verbally and non verbally. The Scottish Government has been asked to comment.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad were both on trial accused of assaulting PC Zachary Marsden

The jury in the re-trial of two brothers accused of assaulting an armed police officer at Manchester Airport has been discharged after they failed to reach verdicts.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 21, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, were both on trial accused of assaulting PC Zachary Marsden. They denied the single charge and claimed they were acting in self-defence.

Mr Amaaz was previously convicted of assaulting two police officers and a member of the public in the same incident, trial jurors heard. Mr Amaaz and Mr Amaad were accused of assaulting PC Marsden, occasioning him actual bodily harm.

On Wednesday (May 20), jurors said they could not agree on any verdicts in respect of either of the defendants after deliberating for around 19 hours and 48 minutes, and after being told they could reach majority verdicts.

Prosecutors asked the judge for time to consider their position and to decide whether they will seek another re-trial.

Judge Flewitt told jurors: “You are, as I’m sure you’re aware, not the first jury to consider the case. You are not the first jury to fail to reach a verdict in relation to this particular count. I don’t want you to feel in any way you have failed.

“The prosecution will now consider their position and decide whether they want to ask me to have a further trial, which will be unusual but not unknown.”

The trial at Liverpool Crown Court heard the siblings, both of Tarnside Close, Rochdale, had earlier attended the airport to pick up their mother. Mr Amaaz assaulted a man named Abdulkareem Ismaeil in a branch of Starbucks at the airport, after his mother had ‘some form of disagreement’ with Mr Ismaeil on a flight back to the UK from Pakistan via Qatar. Mr Amaaz has claimed his mother was racially abused by Mr Ismaeil on the flight.

Mr Amaaz then assaulted two police officers in a pay station at terminal two, after they were called following the incident on July 23, 2024.

At a previous trial last year, Mr Amaaz was convicted of assaulting Mr Ismaeil in Starbucks, and of assaulting two female police officers, PC Ellie Cook and PC Lydia Ward. Unarmed officer PC Ward was left in tears after breaking her nose and bleeding ‘profusely’.

PC Cook suffered ‘relatively minor injuries’. PC Marsden was said to have suffered a ‘post-concussion syndrome’, which is said to have included a ‘severe headache for three days’, and episodes of ‘dizziness’ and ‘forgetfulness,’ and difficulties in talking and also bruising and swelling.

During the fracas, PC Marsden kicked Mr Amaaz to the face and brought his foot down to his head in a ‘stamping motion’, the court heard.

Giving evidence in his defence, Mr Amaaz said thought he could end up ‘dead’ when he was ‘grabbed’ by PC Marsden during the incident. “I was thinking ‘why is this guy using so much force?’,” he said. “The way he was grabbing my neck, I thought ‘this guy forces me down to the ground he is going to beat me, he’s going to beat me to the point I can’t breathe and I am dead’.”

Mr Amaad denied acting ‘offensively’ towards PC Marsden and said he believed he was under attack. Mr Amaad said that when he saw PC Marsden’s gun he raised his arms and put his hands on his head.

“I just thought ‘I don’t want to die today, I don’t want to get shot’,” Mr Amaad told the court.
