Lee Andrews Offers £10k to GMB Hosts Amid Split from Katie Price
Katie Price confirms split from husband Lee Andrews as he offers £10,000 to GMB hosts from a Dubai jail to prove his cryptocurrency wealth claims.
POLICY WIRE — London, UK — Lee Andrews, the estranged husband of television personality Katie Price, has made a bizarre financial offer to Good Morning Britain presenters Ed Balls and Susanna Reid. From his reported location in a Dubai jail, Andrews sent a voice note to the ITV program promising to transfer the hosts £10,000 in cryptocurrency.
The businessman was scheduled to appear on the show alongside Price on Wednesday, September 16, to address public skepticism regarding his financial status. Andrews was expected to explain reports suggesting his crypto wallet contained only £2.22, despite his previous claims of being a multimillionaire.
Unable to attend the broadcast due to his ongoing detention, Andrews used the voice note to dispute the claims. He alleged that Price had been misled by third parties and was viewing the wrong wallet, asserting that he actually holds 50 million USDT, a stablecoin used for digital asset trading.
Andrews insisted that he has no intention of deceiving anyone, stating, I’ll even send your hosts a thousand pounds or ten thousand, what they want to show the movement, and that it is mine. I’ve got no issues [with] that.

The public fallout follows Price’s confirmation that the couple has separated, with the star removing all references to Andrews from her social media accounts. During her appearance on the show, Price expressed deep regret, noting that she felt embarrassed and scammed by the man she married in Dubai just weeks after their January meeting.
Price recounted how her suspicions grew after Andrews repeatedly showed her a luxury property valued between £30 million and £40 million. She claimed that while he would drive her to the location, they were never permitted to enter, with Andrews citing legal complications regarding civil debts in Dubai.
Andrews remains in custody, reportedly due to unpaid debts. While he maintains that his legal issues have been resolved, he claims he has been unable to secure a court date to finalize his release. Throughout their brief marriage, he has faced persistent allegations of fraud, all of which he continues to deny.
