Katie Price's husband Lee Andrews has been freed from prison

Katie Price's husband, Lee Andrews, has been freed from prison.

The 48-year-old former glamour model married the businessman in Dubai in January, just days after they met in person for the first time, and, amid questions about his conduct, he failed to fly to the UK as planned last month, with Katie eventually tracking him down to the UAE's notorious Al-Awir prison.

And while Katie refused to pay £140,000 for his release, he is now a free man and reportedly FaceTimed his wife just minutes after his release.

She told The Sun newspaper: "I'm excited - but trust me, I have questions".

Concerned friends of the mother-of-five have urged Katie to walk away from her marriage.

A friend said: "Lee is out and back in his rental.

"Katie was thrilled - not least because she didn't pay a penny of the £140,000 fine to get him out.

"Of course she has heard the discourse surrounding him, and she’s not stupid. She knows the optics aren’t great if she stays with this man. But as any woman who has been love-bombed knows, it’s hard to leave when you’re being treated so well.

"For whatever reason, she still loves him and is hugely physically attracted to him.

"But make no bones about it: Lee is a conman and a fraud and there must be consequences to his despicable actions. She must leave this man."
