Lee Andrews Claims Katie Price Will Fund Him

is reportedly 'bragging that is going to give him cash' as a fellow prisoner has revealed the businessman's 'strange behaviour' behind bars.

The self-proclaimed billionaire, 43, was thrown behind bars in Al Awir Central Prison in  on fraud allegations last month, with Katie, 48, since sharing that a six-figure sum needs to be paid for his release.

He is desperately seeking to raise £140,000 for his release from prison and has pleaded with Katie to set up a GoFundMe.

Now, in a new interview, an inmate inside the same prison as Lee has lifted the lid on his latest bizarre claims, according to The Sun.

The inmate claimed that Lee had reportedly been bragging to some other inmates that he was arrested in the middle of an arms deal near the Abu Dhabi border when authorities got him.

Lee also apparently said that he was taken to another place and was left in a dark room for days with no daylight. 

Sharing how they think Lee has 'quite the mouth on him,' the inmate told the publication: 'Not everyone thinks he is credible, and some of us have been sharing notes about his stories as they keep changing. 

'He's a strange man. He was bragging that Katie was going to give him cash, but no one knows if she has or not.'

The inmate added that Lee has given off 'this wheeler-dealer bravado' rather than 'swagger'.

After learning her husband had been arrested for fraud, Katie flew to Dubai to be at his side and was prepared to spend £6,500 to release him after allegedly being told that was the fee required.

Yet when Katie arrived at the courthouse with her credit card in hand, she was told the fee would instead be £140,000 because Lee is involved in another case awaiting a court date, this time relating to property. Katie has declined to pay this figure.

Now, Lee has reportedly asked his wife whether there was a fundraiser set up to raise money for his release.

In a phone conversation, Katie allegedly baulked at the suggestion and said: 'No-one will do that for you, Lee, trust me. Everyone hates you.'

Meanwhile, sources told the Daily Mail that her family are growing increasingly concerned about her mental health and her children's welfare.

The friend said: 'Katie's family are very close to her. And they are all very concerned for her.

'She is spending too much time away from her kids, as well as being halfway around the world.'

And last month, during their podcast together, her sister Sophie made her feelings clear towards Lee after he failed to show up for the couple's Good Morning Britain interview.
