Katie Price's new husband Lee Andrews has revealed the reason she had to return to the UK without him after their whirlwind wedding in Dubai.
The former glamour model, 47, tied the knot for the fourth time to Lee, 43, in an intimate ceremony over the weekend, just days after getting engaged.
Following their nuptials, Katie jetted back to the UK alone, leading to questions from some about the legitimacy of the marriage.
But Lee has since taken to Instagram Stories to hit back at the claims, saying that he would be flying out to join his new wife on Thursday, and Katie had to fly back early so she could be reunited with her children.
A source previously claimed that Katie's mother Amy and her five children were all left completely in the dark about her wedding.
It is now claimed that Katie's family are deeply concerned about the speed of the relationship and are preparing to sit her down for a 'serious talk' over her marriage.
In his post, Lee said: 'I'm going be meeting Katie tomorrow in the UK. I just need to wrap up a few things here.
'She had to get back for her children because she's a good mother and she's lovely like that.'
He began the video: 'So yes, I’m in Dubai, she’s in England, you’ll see us reunite.'
Before ending the post, he also referenced speculation that he and Katie had been wearing their wedding rings on the wrong hand.
He jokily added: 'Our rings are on the correct hand, which is on the right hand, no I’m joking, it’s on the left hand.'
Following his wedding to Katie, Lee has faced accusations from exes that he is a 'lying swindler,' with some warning his new wife that she should 'run for the hills.'
Lee's ex-girlfriend Alana Percival took to Instagram on Wednesday with a warning to Katie that her new man is not what he seems.
She wrote: 'Women look after women. I thought it was all a lie too until I had to find out the hard way... you want proof of everything, it's waiting for you...' and tagged Katie in the post.
Alana also shared a photo of herself in a bikini on the beach and wrote: 'Catching flights not fiancés ❌ Somebody with your ex right now thinking they found the one @katieprice … more to come today’s news is just a warm up.
'You guys wanted to know what he is all about? Well let me start to tell you …#runforthehills.'
Lee connected to Alana on Facebook last March and showered her with a Louis Vuitton handbag, Cartier jewellery and transferred thousands of pounds.
He proposed in September and the set-up was identical to Katie's engagement at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab.
The Daily Mail has contacted Lee Andrews and representatives of Katie Price for comment.
Lee appeared to have repurposed the Cartier ring he gave to Alana to propose to Katie.
Alana said as soon as she posted a picture of their engagement, she was contacted by his estranged Russian wife Cezara and two other exes, who claimed he was a 'liar'.
Despite their warnings, Alana, who has since branded him a 'lying swinder', said she thought their relationships had just ended badly as she 'never had someone basically tell me that they love me the way he does'.
Alana, who sold a house to Katie 15 years ago and called off their engagement in November, told the publication: 'Katie should run for the hills, Lee is a liar, a narcissist and I think he’s a manipulator. Once I tried to leave him, he told me had a heart condition and was living on borrowed time. Lee doesn’t know what’s fact and what’s fiction.'
Meanwhile, another of Lee's exes, Crystal Janke, has claimed Lee hoodwinked her into handing over £123,000 to invest in his company, on the promise he could get a 'return of £1million'.
The Sun reports the police are aware of the alleged fraud.
The family nurse practitioner from Texas, who started a romance with Lee last May, claims she has been scammed and fears her money was spent by Lee on lavish gifts for Alana, who he was dating at the same time.
Crystal commented on Alana's post, writing: 'Keep smiling and soaking up every moment - you truly deserve it!' to which Alana replied, telling her that 'There is so much more to this story, karma.'
Crystal wrote: 'I truly wish I could jump on a plane and fly to you right now just to hug you. Thank you for having the courage to listen when I reached out. At the end of the day, women supporting women always wins, and I’m grateful we crossed paths for a reason.
'I’m sorry this happened to both of us, but we’re going to get through it- and we’ll come out on the other side stronger and empowered.'
Alana added on her Instagram Stories: 'This man had me shrinking myself making me not want to speak up, telling me not to speak to my friends about how he acted because they all told me to leave him. He even ruined some of my friendships pulled me away from people I love by protecting him.
'Made unlimited promises making me look as bad as him because I was on his side!! Finally I get to speak freely and tell you all, I hope Katie listens I wish I had listened to all the others that warned me! Please ladies if you experience anything like this run a mile and more. Keep running!'
Crystal said she believes Lee had planned on proposing to her in the same way just two weeks before Alana's engagement after they looked at rings together.
But her sister began to become suspicious of Lee and contacted a private investigator, who then revealed he was dating Alana at the same time.
Crystal said: 'The PA then found his ex Dina and she said, "Run for the hills. He’s not who he says he is". She said he scams people all the time.'
Crystal swiftly ended the relationship, contacted her bank and reported Lee to police as she said: 'I know there’s no chance I’ll ever get this money back. Looking back I think, "How did I let him scam me?" But he was so convincing.'
Lee told the Daily Mail that he did have a relationship with Alana, stating: 'I gave her a lavish lifestyle. I invested in her real estate business. I have to dismiss all her claims.'
He added that he does have a heart condition but 'I have never used this as leverage as a conversation to fake anything. It's something that was bought up in conversation because I was with my partner'.
He added of Crystal that 'I have never met the woman' adding that he has 'exchanged conversations and a couple of texts but I do not have any notion of her investing in me or sending me money. I have to dismiss that claim.'
The Sun claims to have seen texts from Lee to Crystal in which he says he was 'dating a really famous person from the UK' and wants to meet her in London to return her money.
The Daily Mail has contacted Katie's representative for comment.
Katie's family have reportedly been left in the dark over her shock marriage to Lee following the pair's whirlwind 'one-week' romance.
A source told the Daily Mail that Katie's family had not spoken to her since she walked down the aisle.
It is now claimed that Katie's family are deeply concerned about the speed of the relationship and are preparing to sit her down for a 'serious talk' over her marriage.
It has been reported that Lee's glossy online profile supposedly caught her attention just days ago which led to the whirlwind wedding.
The couple, who are currently apart after Katie returned to England and Lee stayed in Dubai, have also had each other's names inked on their hands.
Speaking to the camera, Lee said: 'Hi guys how are you? So this is married life. There's been a bit of confusion about tattoos and rings. Rings are all on the right fingers and tattoos are all on the right hands...
'Anyway, lots of love to everyone and massive love, all the love in the world to Katie and I'll see you soon. We had the most wonderful wedding, we are married, it is official and I'm the happiest man in the world...
'Lots of love to everyone. That might clear up a lot of the 99 per cent of the junk that's in my requests. It should. Lots of love to you all.'
Harking back to the tattoos, he shared another video showing his hand and penned: 'So there is the tattoo, just so you can see it. Just so you know. It's further up the hand than Katie's and we are getting more tattoos.'
Further in his bid to silence naysayers, he then shared a video aimed further at those who claimed his ring was on the wrong hand.
He said: 'Folks, folks, folks. Let me just do one think for you. Listen, I'm not a videographer and I'm not a photographer but this is my left hand...
'From where you guys are sitting because it's a reverse camera, it's the frontal camera, and you can give it a go on your iPhone or your Androids or whatever you've got, if you show your left hand to yourself on the camera with the camera facing you it will look like the right hand...
'I can assure you myself and my beautiful wife, both have the rings on the correct finger which is the left. She also has her engagement ring which is beautiful, I love you, I love you babe, and her wedding band. Our tattoos are on the right hand.'
