Katie Prices Dubai Dash: Family Feud Exposed!

She thought she’d finally found her happily-ever-after when, dressed in white, she walked down the aisle with a man she’d barely known for a week.

But just four months on from that wedding in January, it seems as though ’s whirlwind romance has turned into a tornado of lies and betrayal.

For the Daily Mail can reveal that the former glamour model, 48, boarded a plane from London Gatwick to on Monday with every intention of ending her marriage to .

Katie told her close circle that Lee has serious questions to answer about vanishing for two weeks and claiming he had been kidnapped. It was later revealed – by the Daily Mail – that he was being held in Al Awir prison in Dubai.

A source close to Katie said: ‘This really is make or break now. If Lee can’t explain himself then it will be over.

‘Katie is well and truly fed-up with Lee’s behaviour and what he is putting her through. She has said enough is enough now.

‘She is adamant she will face him in prison and demand answers in person. If not, she says she will get them from the authorities herself.’

Although she’s hinted at divorce, Katie was pictured still wearing her diamond wedding ring as she walked through departures at Gatwick.

She’s also shared her plans to talk candidly with Lee in a social media post to fans, saying: ‘Let’s go, today is an important day for me.’

In an update after she had arrived in Dubai, she explained how she would be visiting the courts, police station and prison where Lee is being held.

She said: ‘And who knows what today’s going to bring, I’ve had four hours sleep. I’m so tired, by the time we got to the hotel it was 3am. I couldn’t sleep. I’ve probably had an hour-and-a-half sleep and I still look like this.’

Before his arrest Lee, 41, had sent a series of text messages to the mother-of-five, claiming he was being kidnapped following an international manhunt.

It led Katie to plead with fans on social media as well as with the authorities to help her finding her missing husband. Now, though, she has been telling friends that the situation has left her feeling furious and embarrassed.

The fiasco meant Katie was without her husband on her birthday, and swamped by allegations that she was ‘in’ on his disappearance, which was considered by many a tasteless media stunt.

Even close friends who have staunchly supported her through numerous bankruptcies, nine engagements, four marriages and three messy divorces previously told the Daily Mail how she‘d had a part to play.

Katie’s four-month marriage has also been tainted by claims from women – some of them Lee’s former lovers – that he scammed them and that new wife should ‘run for the hills’.

While Lee denies being a conman, he is said to be subject to a travel ban by UAE authorities after allegedly forging a former partner’s signature to obtain a £200,000 mortgage in Dubai. This would have prevented him from flying back to see Katie irrespective of his imprisonment which is reportedly to do with ‘a civil matter’.

The drama has resulted in heated rows between Katie and her sister Sophie and mother, Amy, who are at their wits‘ end over the impact that Lee has had on the family. They ordered Katie not to fly out to see him, but she ignored them.

My source told me: ‘Katie has fallen out with her siblings again. Sophie is fuming about the whole situation, but so is their mum Amy who isn’t well and is struggling with it all. The added stress has really taken a toll on her and Sophie has tried to make Katie see this.

‘She was told not to go to Dubai but has gone anyway.

‘The advice landed on deaf ears, and this week Katie accused them of meddling in her relationship and they had another big bust-up.

‘They are really sick of the situation with Lee now. They have never been introduced or spoken to him and have told Katie they never want to.’

When contacted, Sophie insisted there had been no fallout, though my source added: ‘Sophie has been reduced to tears over the situation, crying to other family members and her close friends over the situation.’

What is more, Katie’s stand-off with her sister has financial implications. She hosts her weekly podcast series with Sophie, which regularly ranks highly in the podcast charts. The latest episode is due to be released tomorrow, but as of Tuesday, the pair were not in contact.

Katie said she first realised Lee was missing when he failed to turn up to the couple’s first joint interview on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, May 12, leaving her to be quizzed by hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls alone.

While she claims to be the innocent party, make no mistake the chaos has given Katie significant free publicity – something she has always chased.

She has a monthly retainer with a red-top newspaper worth thousands of pounds.

In exchange, the paper is fed stories and provided exclusive access to her before other publications.
