Katie Price parts ways with husband Lee Andrews: ‘I feel embarrassed’

Katie Price has confirmed her marriage to Lee Andrews is over, admitting she feels “embarrassed” after realising the man she fell in love with may not have been who she thought he was.

The former glamour model appeared on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday following weeks of speculation over the fate of her whirlwind marriage.

And despite insisting he never took money from her, Price said she now believes she was deceived in a far more painful way.

“I feel embarrassed because I feel he scammed my heart,” she told hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls.

“I feel like he scammed my heart and stole my trust that I had, and me defending a man constantly because he made me believe that, ‘Kate, come on, you know I’m not like this,’” she added.

Price said she still loved Andrews, but had reached the point where she could no longer trust him after discovering what she described as repeated discrepancies between things he had told her and what she subsequently found herself.

“I love him, but who is he?” she said. “I love the man I met, but I just can’t take it. I’m not stupid.”

Price further mentioned, “I’ve been stupid. Well, obviously, I was stupid to fall for him. Now it’s really sad.”

The interview also saw GMB play a lengthy voice note sent by Lee Andrews from jail in Dubai, in which he disputed reports about his cryptocurrency fortune and insisted he still loved his estranged wife.

Much of the extraordinary saga has centred on Andrews’ repeated claims to Price that he had millions in cryptocurrency.

Price stressed that she had never been interested in his money, saying, “I’ve never been with a man with money. With me, it’s never about going with a man with money. I’m self-made, and I have my own money.”

Asked directly whether she had married Andrews for his alleged $50million fortune, she replied, “No, he hasn’t scammed me for money, but I feel he has scammed me, because he fabricated a person that doesn’t exist.”

However, Katie Price did admit the apparent wealth had initially been an attractive “bonus” after Lee Andrews told her about a large home and repeatedly spoke about the millions he had coming in.
