Katie Price has responded to claims that her missing husband Lee Andrews has been online using Facebook. Several people pointed out that they had seen Dubai-based Lee logged into the Messenger service yesterday, despite having disappeared nearly a week earlier after sending a series of chilling messages to his wife Katie.

Former Apprentice star Luisa Zissman, 38, was among those posting about him being online even though Katie is desperately trying to find him and fears that she has been kidnapped. Luisa said: “He was seen as active on Facebook Messenger six hours ago which does indicate that his kidnappers are definitely letting him have access to social media.”

However, Katie tonight insisted that it was her causing his Facebook account to appear as active to people around the world. She shared a screenshot of his page on Instagram writing over the top of the grab: “I have Lee’s Facebook it’s not him on this it’s me.”

The profile showed Lee’s 13,000 Facebook followers, his location as Dubai and a short bio describing himself as an “Investor CEO” and “Married to the beautiful Katie Price.” The post later vanished from her Instagram Story.

It was also claimed tonight that Lee, 43, has been active on his mobile phone. According to The Sun, Lee checked his WhatsApp messages at 5.56pm on Saturday, days after he last contacted Katie. She has not responded to this claim.

Katie has made clear that she’s not amused by people joking about Lee’s disappearance and is hurt that people think it’s a publicity stunt she’s part of. The former reality TV star, 47, said yesterday: “I’m really upset everyone thinks I’m in on this. Are you guys actually joking?

“This is not a publicity stunt. This is real. And anyone who thinks that I’m part of this is disgusting. None of his family has heard anything from Lee. His dad, who’s out in Dubai, has heard nothing.

“We’ve reported him to the British Embassy as a missing person. Everyone who is trying to speculate or make jokes, think of other people’s feelings. It is not nice. It isn’t a game, it is real life. This is really happening, and there are real feelings involved here.”

Katie Price’s missing husband Lee Andrews ‘has been on his phone since vanishing’

The self-proclaimed millionaire told his wife last week that he would be travelling from Dubai to the UK to reunite with her – even posting from an airport – after failing to show for their joint appearance on Good Morning Britain, which she did alone.

The mum-of-five claimed she last spoke to her husband on Wednesday, May 13 and that he was in a van with his hands tied, saying she feared that he’s been kidnapped.
