The mystery surrounding Lee Andrews’ sudden disappearance has deepened — and now his mother has stepped into the spotlight, claiming that Katie Price is “exploiting” her son.

Trisha Andrews, 61, didn’t hold back as tensions rose over Lee’s whereabouts. Posting on social media, she wrote: “Thank you Jane. It’s Katie exploiting and I get all the backlash.” Her words have ignited fresh debate as fans wonder what really happened to Lee.

Lee, 43, a self-styled businessman, was last seen at Dubai Airport last week and has not been heard from for five days. The family has since filed a missing person report with the British Embassy, sparking nationwide concern.

Things escalated after Lee missed a scheduled Good Morning Britain appearance. Katie Price, 47, shared a voice note from Lee explaining he was struggling to obtain an “exit stamp” to leave Dubai. However, her fears intensified when she suggested he might have been “kidnapped,” claiming he had “ties around his hand” and was confined in a van with a “hood over his head.”

The former glamour model, 47, has begged fans to help locate her ‘kidnapped’ husband, who she says was last known to be tied up in the back of a van

The situation has left fans divided. Some speculate Lee could be orchestrating the disappearance himself, while others insist this is a genuine emergency. A source close to Katie told The Sun: “Lee is officially a missing person. Katie is in constant contact with his family and is desperately worried. She’s mortified by claims that this is a stunt, but she is absolutely not involved. This is a truly worrying and upsetting situation.”

As questions swirl and speculation grows, the UK watches anxiously — where is Lee Andrews, and what really happened in Dubai?
