When Katie Price announced she had secretly married Dubai‑based businessman Lee Andrews after a whirlwind one‑week romance, the news stunned even her most loyal followers. But the shock has since deepened into controversy as multiple women have now come forward accusing Andrews of deception, manipulation, and financial scams — allegations so serious that one former partner has branded him the “Tinder Swindler.”

The accusations, which surfaced shortly after the couple’s surprise marriage, paint a troubling picture of a man who allegedly misrepresented his wealth, fabricated business credentials, and used romantic relationships to extract money from women who believed they were helping a successful entrepreneur. According to reports, at least four women have contacted one of Andrews’ ex‑partners to share similar experiences, prompting growing scrutiny of the man who has suddenly become one of the most talked‑about figures in British celebrity news.

Price, 47, revealed last month that she had married Andrews, 42, in Dubai after meeting him just days earlier. The announcement reportedly left her family “stunned,” with some relatives expressing concern about the speed of the relationship and the lack of information about Andrews’ background. But it was not long before his past began to surface.

According to the Daily Mail, several of Andrews’ ex‑girlfriends have accused him of lying about his finances, exaggerating his business success, and presenting himself as a wealthy, well‑connected entrepreneur — claims they say were later exposed as false.

One ex, Alana Percival, has been the most vocal. She told reporters that Andrews had scammed her and others out of money, and that she had been contacted by four additional women who described similar experiences. She said the pattern was unmistakable: “He tells you he’s rich, he tells you he’s powerful, he tells you he’s connected — and then he asks for money.”

The nickname, referencing the infamous conman Simon Leviev, has gained traction because the allegations follow a similar pattern:

A man presenting himself as wealthy and influential
A rapid, intense romantic connection
Requests for financial help under the guise of temporary business trouble
A trail of women claiming they were manipulated

Internewscast reports that Andrews’ claims about his wealth, business acumen, and celebrity connections “might not be genuine,” according to several women who say they were misled.

Some allege he used luxury imagery, high‑end travel, and glamorous social media posts to create the illusion of success — a façade that collapsed once they began comparing experiences.

According to the women who have spoken out, Andrews allegedly:

Claimed to own multiple businesses in Dubai
Boasted of celebrity friendships and high‑value contracts
Presented himself as financially secure
Later asked for money, citing temporary cash‑flow issues
Disappeared or became evasive when questioned

One woman said she loaned him money believing he was a successful entrepreneur facing a short‑term setback. Another said he promised to repay her “within days,” but the money never came.

While none of the allegations have yet been tested in court, the consistency of the claims has raised serious concerns.

For Price, who has endured years of public scrutiny, financial struggles, and turbulent relationships, the allegations surrounding her new husband have created yet another media firestorm.

Sources close to the former glamour model say she is “shocked” by the accusations but is standing by Andrews for now. Friends reportedly fear she may have been swept up in the excitement of a whirlwind romance without fully understanding the man she married.

Her family, already uneasy about the speed of the marriage, are said to be “deeply worried” as more allegations emerge. According to Geo News, some relatives were “upset” by her decision to marry Andrews so quickly, and the new claims have only intensified their concerns.

Little is publicly known about Andrews’ background beyond what he has claimed himself — and that is precisely what his accusers say is the problem.

Several women allege that:

His business ventures were exaggerated or fabricated
His supposed wealth was not supported by evidence
His lifestyle was funded by others, not by his own income

One ex said she discovered inconsistencies in his stories only after their relationship ended. Another said she felt “embarrassed” for believing him but wanted to warn others.

While no formal charges have been filed, legal experts say the allegations could lead to investigations if the women choose to pursue them. Fraud cases involving romantic relationships can be difficult to prove, but the number of women coming forward may strengthen any potential case.

For now, Andrews has not publicly responded to the allegations. His social media accounts remain active but offer no comment on the controversy.

Online reaction has been swift and intense. Many fans have expressed sympathy for Price, saying she may have been manipulated during a vulnerable period in her life. Others have criticised her for rushing into marriage with someone she barely knew.

But the harshest criticism has been directed at Andrews, with social media users calling for a full investigation and urging Price to protect herself.

As more women come forward, the scandal shows no signs of slowing. Reporters are now digging into Andrews’ business history, financial records, and past relationships, while Price faces yet another deeply personal crisis unfolding in the public eye.

Whether the allegations will lead to legal action remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the man who married one of Britain’s most recognisable celebrities is now facing a barrage of accusations that threaten to overshadow their whirlwind romance.
