Katie Price breaks silence on troubled marriage, confirms split from Lee Andrews
Katie Price has confirmed she’s ended her marriage to husband Lee Andrews after their eight-month whirlwind union.
Price, 48, appeared on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday. She opened up about her troubled marriage following weeks of speculation the former glamour model had split from her husband.

Confirming their split, Price admitted she feels “embarrassed” by their relationship but also “exhausted”.
“I feel embarrassed because I feel he scammed my heart,” she told the UK hosts.
“[He] stole my trust that I had, and me defending a man constantly because he made me believe that [he wasn’t like this]” she said. “He fabricated a person that doesn’t exist.”
Price said she loved the man she met, but no longer recognises Andrews.
She now feels “stupid” and confirmed there was no way back for the marriage because of the dishonesty she faced.
Earlier this month, the star reportedly met with London’s top divorce attorney to officially call it quits with the alleged conman, which included him going missing and apparently being held in a Dubai jail.
At the time, claims were made she dumped Andrews after discovering he had less than $5 in his crypto account, despite claiming to be a millionaire.
The outlet reports that after a buildup of alleged lies and deceit, the final straw come after Price checked Andrew’s crypto wallet, finding just £2.22 ($4) in the portfolio that he told her had £37million ($70 million) in it.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Price stressed that she had never been interested in Andrew’s money nor had been with a man with money.
“I’m self-made, and I have my own money,” she said. “With Lee, it’s never been about money.”
Price said if only Andrews had been honest, things would have turned out different for the pair.
The breakfast program played a lengthy voice note sent by Andrews in Dubai disputing reports about his cryptocurrency fortune.
According to the voice note, the £2.22 figure did not represent Andrew’s actual cryptocurrency holdings.
Price’s claims about Andrew’s financial position have not been verified.

Andrew also admitted that while the divorce is “the best thing” for them, he would always love his estranged wife.
Price left the interview admitting she didn’t feel “heartbroken” by the breakup, rather she had a “smile” on her face.
She said Andrews has made her realise she can be happy on her own.
Price married Andrews in a shock wedding ceremony just weeks after meeting the self-proclaimed millionaire businessman.
The pair got engaged on January 24, and then married the next day in a whirlwind romance in Dubai.
