Katie Price ‘furious’ as Instagram with millions of followers deleted

Katie Price has been dealt a fresh blow, losing her entire Instagram account with over 2.6 million followers and leaving only an error message in its wake.

The ex-glamour model, 48, has been thrust into headlines after the disappearance of her husband Lee Andrews, who she claims was found in Dubai earlier this week.

But now, it’s been reported that Price’s Instagram account has been removed by Meta while execs analysed her stories and posts, even though no wrongdoing was uncovered.

According to The Sun, Price is “furious” with the development as she uses the platform to make money.

“It’s absolutely ridiculous that she’s had her account deactivated after spending years building it up and gaining over two and a half million followers,” a source told them.

“She was previously told it would be back up and running and now they’re saying she might have to start from scratch and have a brand new account with zero followers.”

Reports also claimed it was because she flashed nudity on the site, with a source adding: “It feels like small-minded trolls complaining for the sake of it and Katie’s efforts to stay connected with all her fans is suffering as a consequence.”

The new update comes days after Price revealed she had found her husband after he went missing in Dubai on May 13.

On May 27, Price confirmed he had been located, claiming he was arrested on espionage charges and taken to Al Awir prison.

“I have found him – he is alive, and he is OK,” she told The Sun.

“I told him how worried I had been and told him I loved him.

“It was very rushed, but he said the authorities out there thought he was a spy. I don’t know much more than that right now.”

While the reality TV star says she had a two-minute phone conversation with Andrews, there has been no formal confirmation from authorities on his whereabouts.

Price had issued a desperate plea to help find her husband after he failed to board a flight to the UK to see her two weeks ago.

Andrews’ dad, Peter, was the first to suggest his son had been arrested by UAE authorities over an unknown charge but doubt was cast over the theory when his phone was reportedly turned on just hours later.

Price was so worried he’d been kidnapped, she filed a missing person’s report with the British embassy in Dubai.
