Katie Price says son Junior grilled her on why she got married to Lee Andrews after just one week as she compares her shotgun wedding to TV show Love Is Blind

1 week ago 8

Katie Price has revealed that her son Junior Andre has grilled her on why she got married to husband Lee Andrews so quickly. 

The former glamour model, 47, shocked fans when she married the so-called businessman, 42, in Dubai in January within a week of meeting him.

And despite her family sharing their concerns, several of his ex-partners making bombshell accusations and a slew of his claims about his finances, business acumen and celebrity-links being revealed as false - Katie is certain that Lee is the real deal.

Now, speaking on her podcast The Katie Price Show, the TV personality revealed that 20-year-old son Junior has joined her legions of fans in asking why she got married so quickly leaving her to compare her experience to reality show Love Is Blind

She said: 'I was talking today to Junior and he said: "Mum, why did you get married so quick?".

'I said "Junior there's a show called Love is Blind where they get to know each other but don't know what they look like and marry them. No one moans about that concept. They know nothing about the other person. But I actually got to know Lee, I saw him face to face on the screen. Yet I marry him and it's uproar. It's alright for programmes to do it".'

Katie's sister Sophie who has made her own feelings on Lee clearly known in the past, flatly replied: 'I've never watched it I don't know'. 

The Netflix show Love Is Blind, which has released 10 series, allows singles to try and find a match and fall in love without ever seeing each other face-to-face, as emotional connection attempts to conquer physical attraction.

Elsewhere on the podcast, Katie furiously shut down rumours she is moving to Dubai with Lee despite the businessman claiming he bought a £36M Dubai home in cash for the couple. 

'I've got five children, I’m not going to just get up and move to Dubai', she insisted. 

'I want to get to know Lee more before anything. There’s no rush. I don’t know why people are so invested. It’s nobodies business. I live in West Sussex and that is it.'

Sophie added: 'I think it’s because you made it public you are both buying a house there together.'

Katie hit back: 'It’s true but it doesn’t mean to say I’m there all the time.'

After the news of Katie and Lee's marriage her children Princess and Junior, who she shares with ex-husband Peter Andre, made an appearance on This Morning. 

The pair said that the family are 'happy as long as she's happy' despite Katie's five children not actually meeting Lee yet. 

Daughter Princess admitted: 'I've not met him', as Junior continued: 'Our mum is her own person, she's her own woman, she's going to do what she's going to do and at the end of the day, we're supportive of her as long as she's happy.'

'As long as she's happy that's all I care about,' he added, as Princess chimed in: 'If she's happy, we're happy.'

'I said "Junior there's a show called Love is Blind where they get to know each other but don't know what they look like and marry them. No one moans about that concept' she said

Katie added: 'But I actually got to know Lee, I saw him face to face on the screen. Yet I marry him and it's uproar. It's alright for programmes to do it'

It comes as Lee claims to have proposed a bid to buy a majority stake in Chelsea Football Club, who are currently sixth in the Premier League and 22 points adrift of table-topping rivals Arsenal.

The Dubai-based businessman wants to forge ahead with a 'crazy and ambitious' plan to buy into the current World Club Cup holders.

'I can’t tell you all the workings and inner parts to my wealth but definitely the money is there,' Andrews, 42, told The Sun. 'And they have to accept and they have to verify, but it will be going in.

'It sounds crazy, it sounds ambitious, but watch this space.'

Asked of Andrews' plan to buy into Chelsea, a bemused source close to the couple told Daily Mail: 'I don't know anything about it... but I very much doubt it.' 

Lee will need a sizeable sum to wrestle control from current owner Todd Boehly, the American businessman who acquired the football club for £4.25billion four years ago.

Lee's financial worth remains questionable - the businessman claims to have links with Tesla founder Elon Musk, the world's richest man - current Chelsea owner Boehly's is not.

The Miami based magnate's personal fortune is estimated between $8.4billion and $9.3billion, while his impressive business portfolio includes a 20 percent ownership of baseball giants the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The American's incredible wealth eclipses that of Lees, who has previously boasted of earning anywhere between £2million and £5million annually from a variety of investments in the United States.

Lee's credibility and personal integrity has taken a battering from all sides following his marriage to Katie, with furious ex-girlfriends labelling him a 'scammer' and urging the former glamour model to 'run for the hills.'

Ex-fiancée Alana Percival, 32, who accepted a marriage proposal from Andrews just 16 weeks before he exchanged vows with Price, has accused him of scamming money out of her and making false claims about his personal wealth and various achievements.

The businessman has previously claimed to hold a PhD from Cambridge University, while managing the sustainable vehicle venture, Aura Worldwide Holdings Limited, from his home in the United Arab Emirates.

He also claims to bilingual and fluent in almost every known language, including Arabic.

In March, he shared a variety of images and videos across social media, including a post about becoming a 'future trillionaire', detailing a 'mysterious income' and being a member of 'the 1%'.

One post features a debonaire man standing at a bar with the words: 'Mysterious income. Underground connections. Private life. Small circle. Hot brunette.'

He then shared an image of a yacht with the accompanying message: 'Send this to future trillionaires', with a voiceover detailing being worth $1,274,930,645,80.73.

Yet another nod to his success and wealth featured the quote: 'When you love Monday morning more than Friday night. Welcome to the 1% bro'.

While there have been doubts over his alleged Cambridge education, Katie has hit back and insisted she has seen evidence of his university pedigree.

The former glamour model also revealed that she has so much trust in her new husband that she declined to sign a prenup before their whirlwind wedding.
