Katie Price Deletes Instagram After Camping Trip

After finally tracking down her husband Lee Andrews, it will come as no surprise that was in high spirits as she celebrated her son Harvey's 24th birthday on Wednesday.

But, the star, 48, has added yet more confusion to the saga, as it emerged on Thursday she's deleted her entire Instagram account, just hours after claiming she and Lee had finally spoken.

Dressed in a barely-there printed bikini, Katie took her son Harvey on a camping trip in Kent, with the pair making the most of the heatwave with a BBQ in the sunshine. 

It came after The Daily Mail revealed on Saturday that Lee had, according to his father, which Katie debunked at the time. It's understood he was detained over claims relating to a private civil matter. 

The star had been beset with worry after the so-called businessman went missing two weeks ago, but on Wednesday she confirmed she'd finally spoken to him after he called her from a prison in .

Former glamour model Katie still seems intent on maintaining her relationship with her husband, who has been branded a scammer, and had previously insisted she and Lee wanted a more private life, weeks before her social media vanished.

Katie has previously shared even more details about her two-minute phone call with husband  from prison - after he was thought 'missing' for two weeks. 

She revealed he was shocked to learn he's become the 'most hated man in prison' after telling her he had been kidnapped and then going under the radar, giving the latest update on her money-making podcast, The Katie Price Show on Thursday. 

She said she will find out more when he is released from Al Awir Central Prison on Monday, after he coughs up a four-figure sum.

Moreover, despite her hopes for so-called private life, Katie told Lee he must do an interview to set a few things straight, because the British public 'deserve it' and 'think he's a scammer.'

She said on the podcast with her sister Sophie: 'Lee has been found alive! I don't know the full update. All I know is they thought he was a spy so he's been interrogated. 

'I want to thank all the Interpol and the British Consulate and the Police for keeping me updated. They told me I would be a good detective too! They said I'd help so much by giving them clues to find him.'

She continued: 'I am happy as I didn't know where he had gone. He's been interrogated and had hoods on him. I need to find out when I can see him now. I only had a minute with him on the phone.'

Katie then clarified the reports that his phone had been turned back on last week amid his mysterious disappearance, saying: 'I did ask him about the phone situation. He hasn't been on his phone - he's been interrogated and they've been on his phone. So they've been mucking around on his phone - it wasn't Lee.'

She then also spoke about how she'd asked him about rumours that he had followed another woman online during his time missing, saying: 'What happened with the woman was she activated her account and she followed him or he followed her. But then she blocked him. They've never exchanged messages. But I did ask him 'apparently you've followed another woman!...'

Katie continued: 'Then I told him 'you're the most hated man in Britain' - and he wanted to know why. I said everyone thinks you're a scammer and I said we'd talk about it all when you're out.

'I told him I thought he was dead. It doesn't sound like he's had a good time in prison. We need the full story when he's out. He is going to have to explain it all. He needs to do an interview. 

'The public deserve it - everyone thinks he's a con artist. He needs to come on this podcast! He's had lots of hate but let's give him a chance to tell his story.'

The prison - less than 20 miles from the city's shiny centre - has been described as 'hell on earth' and houses murderers, terrorists and rapists.

During their first conversation since his disappearance, Lee told Katie that he was arrested and detained on suspicion of spying.

However, The Sun now understands Lee was detained over claims relating to a private civil matter. 

The publication claims authorities confirmed that he was not held over spying charges.

It is understood Lee was arrested on May 14 after previously hiding out and keeping a deliberately low profile.

On Wednesday evening, Katie revealed what else she said to Lee during their first conversation after he was arrested.

'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,' she told The Sun. 

The Foreign Office refused to confirm or deny whether Lee was being held in Dubai's notorious Al Awir prison on Wednesday. 

However a spokesman repeated an earlier statement saying that UK consular officials were 'supporting the family' of a British man and were 'in contact with officials' in the UAE about his whereabouts.

An FCDO spokesman said: 'We are supporting the family of a British man and are in contact with the local authorities.'

Lee had vanished 11 days before we revealed he was discovered in a prison, after sending Katie a video of him hooded with his hands tied after being 'bundled into a van' and taken to a 'black site', as he tried to make his way to  to be with her. 

He sent a series of texts and voice messages to the mother-of-five, claiming he had been kidnapped. It is understood Lee was arrested on Thursday, May 14.

It came soon after Lee's dad, Peter, reportedly text Katie to explain where Lee was and later set up a phone call with him from the prison call box.

According to the publication, Lee had been keeping a low profile in the days before his arrest and had moved his belongings out of his apartment and into his dad's.

Al Awir Central, nicknamed Dubai's Alcatraz, is notorious for its brutal conditions, with inmates tortured for confessions and suffering from horrific illnesses.

Dangerous prisoners are kept in unsanitary and overcrowded cells, alongside expats, including British citizens, many who are held without formal charges or coerced into making confessions. 

Lee is now facing what former detainees have described as inhumane conditions, where up to 15 men are forced to share a single room, sleeping on bunk beds and the floor.

Katie shared her devastation in the days after Lee first went missing and she couldn't contact her husband, who she married in January after a week-long romance.

His family, who also said they were unable to contact Lee, filed a missing person's report at the British embassy.

Over the weekend, his long-suffering father Peter – who is one of the few people in Dubai to support him – told the Daily Mail Lee was arrested by the UAE authorities.

The businessman said: 'Lee is OK. He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest. I don't know on what charge. I'm not sure where he is being held. But he will call me later today. He is not at my house.'

A police source said: 'Lee Andrews has been arrested.'

The Daily Mail were dispatched to Dubai earlier this week after Katie announced her fourth husband was 'missing' and that she was concerned about his safety.

The British Foreign Office were alerted but their staff in Dubai were unable to find any trace of him at the time.

A spokesman said: 'We are supporting the family of a British man and are in contact with the local authorities.' 

The Dubai authorities also then denied any knowledge of his whereabouts.
