Katie Price surprised her fans when she married Lee Andrews just a week after announcing she had split from her ex-boyfriend JJ Slater.

And when Lee, 43, said he was planning on arriving in the UK to reunite with his bride, her fans were looking out for a picture of the two of them on British soil.
Despite maintaining that he would be coming to the UK, Lee has remained in Dubai since the nuptials and so Katie, 47, spent Sunday with TV presenter Lewis Nicholls instead.
Her fourth husband Lee has been much derided for his use of filters on social media which make him look unrecognisable compared to how he looks in real life.
So when Katie posed for a photo with Lewis, 32, her fans were convinced he was her husband in his natural state.

Lewis had to take to the comments to insist he is simply Katie's friend
Businessman Lee, who married Katie in Dubai last week, airbrushes many of his social media snaps
One of the many highly edited and filtered pictures Lee has posted of him on his Instagram page - it looks nothing like him
So much so, that Lewis himself had to take to the comments to put them straight. He wrote: 'FYI, I'm not Lee. I'm a friend' alongside a crying face emoji.
Lee took to Instagram on Monday night and insisted he is fit to fly despite reports that he is 'banned from leaving Dubai.'

Daily Mail reported that Lee spent three weeks locked up in a Dubai jail for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to take out a £200,000 loan in her name and has been banned from leaving the country, it has been claimed.
Insiders have said businessman Lee allegedly applied for a £200,000 mortgage on behalf of personal trainer partner Dina Taji without her knowledge last year.
Dina says she found out after receiving a phone call from the mortgage company, sparking her decision to file a legal case against him.
According to Dubai law, individuals pending criminal investigations, including unpaid debts or civil lawsuits, are not legally allowed to leave the country.
The woman reported Andrews to the authorities in Dubai who investigated her claim.

It is unknown at what stage the investigation is at - but if Andrews was subject to the travel ban preventing him from leaving Dubai while the case was open.
Lee has said he actually stayed in Dubai to find a home for them to both live, although it's not clear if the couple will be splitting their time between the two countries.

Lee shared this post on Monday night, insisting reports that he cannot leave Dubai are completely false and he will be joining Katie on honeymoon in a matter of days
Speaking about the new home on Monday, he told The Sun: 'Yeah, we've got the house, thank you. We'll be flying out for our honeymoon together, remotely.

'I'm not going to tell you where we're going but it is in the next 72 hours. So, I can fly and you'll see us snapped somewhere.'
It comes as ex Alana Percival, who Lee proposed to in exactly the same way just weeks before popping the question to Katie, once again hit out with more bombshell allegations including alluding to him advertising on the escort site.
In a new interview she branded him a 'narcissist' and accused the businessman of 'grooming' her with lies about owning property in Dubai's iconic and luxurious island Palm Jumeirah and working with royalty.
'I was very groomed, when I look back, nothing he told me was true'.
Speaking in on TikTok with Elle Campbell, she said: 'The short version is that I thought he had a villa on The Palm, he gets his exes to sign documents and gets them travel bans including his own family,'

'He signed documents to get the sale sheet through so he can show the next victim that he owns things when he never actually did. He lives in a room in his dad's house doesn't work and claims he works for many royals, diplomat, he works for the embassy, none of it's true.'

Before Lee popped the question to Alana and then Katie, making him her ninth fiancé, he was married for several years to health and fitness coach Dina Taji, 41 - Insiders have said businessman Lee allegedly applied for a £200,000 mortgage on behalf of personal trainer partner Dina Taji without her knowledge last year
