Katie Price says Interpol told her she would be a “good detective” after her missing husband was found and told her she had been a huge help as they looked for Lee Andrews
Katie Price says Interpol told her she would be a “good detective” after her missing husband was found. The ex-glamour model, 48, tied the knot with Dubai-based businessman Lee Andrews just a fortnight after she met him early this year, but he failed to board a flight to the UK earlier this month and his whereabouts was unknown for weeks.
Eventually, Lee, who had been due to join Katie for a scheduled interview on Good Morning Britain before he vanished, made contact with the former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star and she then announced that he had been arrested and detained on suspicion of espionage in a Dubai prison.
Katie, who hosts The Katie Price Show with her sister Sophie, has spoken at length about the incident in the latest episode of her weekly podcast, and has now claimed that Interpol said she had helped them tremendously, and claimed that she would likely make a success of it if she were to have a major career change.
“It has been a worry and they have been amazing, to the point that they said I would be an amazing detective. You know I wanted to be a paramedic but I might even try to be a detective. They said ‘It’s not the same kind of money Kate.’”
“They said I’ve helped so much. The way I think about things, giving them clues, which they obviously know from intelligence. But they actually said, ‘Do you know what Kate? We do a lot of these cases and you would be a good detective yourself!”
Sophie shook her head in disbelief but Katie seemed confident as she said: “I’m like yes, where’s my prefect badge?”
Katie suggested to her sister that Lee come on the podcast for a chat, but she shot down the idea instantly and firmly suggested: “If you want to do a separate chat with him, that’s down to you.” It’s thought that Lee was arrested on May 14, having been hiding out up until that point.
It’s also been claimed that he now must pay a four-figure fine and is expected to be released from prison on Monday.
Elsewhere on the podcast, Sophie asked about the other woman Lee followed, but Katie denied Lee was behind this. It was revealed that Marisol, the woman Lee briefly followed, previously used an online matchmaking service for millionaires, The Sun reports.
But Katie told her sister: “What happened with that other woman was apparently she activated her account and maybe she followed Lee or Lee followed her years ago. They’ve never exchanged messages or nothing. So she’s blocked him and that’s why it’s gone back.”
There had been speculation that Katie was involved in a publicity stunt surrounding Lee’s vanishing act earlier this month, although she vehemently denied these claims, and expressed her worry that Lee had become a victim of kidnap.
At the time, she added: “I’m really upset and distressed that people think I’m in on it. Are you joking? Come on, give me some credit why would I do that?”
