Lee Andrews Faces Dubai Court Battle After Prison Release

'He stated his wife is currently outside the country and that he has been unable to access his bank account required to make payment.

'He requested a period of 14 days in order to settle the outstanding amount.'

A source added: 'Lee managed to talk himself out of jail, and said he would be able to raise the capital himself.

'He says Katie has been his rock, and helped him liaise with officials when he was banged-up – but that he hasn't asked her to pay off any of his debts. He insists he can do that himself.'

Katie had previously warned Lee had 'questions to answer' about his so-called fortune when he was released from prison, but is now thought to have taken him back.

Despite mounting evidence that fraud was the cause for his arrest, Lee insisted that he was imprisoned on suspicion of espionage 'and held in a state security building' before being taken to prison over 'a civil case in Dubai'. 

Last week Lee continued to insist there was 'not one shred of evidence' that he has been charged with fraud, hitting out at his ex fiancée Alana Percival for spreading the story. 

Lee claimed he was 'taken to the Qatar border by the men, at gunpoint and was captured by men with assault rifles' before adding: 'They did slap me round a little bit, little s***s.'

The Daily Mail revealed in January, shortly after Katie's shock wedding to the businessman, that Lee took out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex Dina Taji's name without her knowledge.

She then took legal action against him, resulting in Lee being slapped with a travel ban from Dubai. Dina has refused to talk publicly about Lee, but agreed to meet up with Katie recently to warn her about staying with her husband.

'There's not one shred of evidence where I've taken a mortgage in someone else's name, particularly in my ex fiancée's name Dina,' Lee insisted.

'If I was to take a mortgage in somebody else's name, wouldn't she get that mortgage? How does it work? What would I benefit from signing her name? That's definitely not the case. So, let her bring the mortgage paper.'

Lee went on to call out Alana, who he said had spread the story.

Last week, Lee insisted presenter should lose her job after she branded him a conman.

On Wednesday's edition of GMB Susanna said 'I think my eyes just rolled out of my head' after hearing Lee's explanation as to why he was missing for a month in Dubai.

Leehas refuted reports he was arrested over fraud allegations and thrown into Al Awir Central Prison, claiming he was captured at gunpoint after being suspected of espionage. 

His disappearance drama first started when the self-proclaimed millionaire failed to turn up for a joint interview with Katie on GMB last month. 

Lee has now promised he will make it to the GMB sofa soon to 'thrash it out' with Susanna. In an Instagram video posted last Thursday, in which he tagged GMB and his wife, Lee asked: 'So, what is Susanna Reid rolling her eyes at?

'I'm not going to comment on that because obviously I'll go onto the sofa with Katie at some point and we'll thrash it out and then she can be as forthcoming as she likes.'

Despite saying he would save his reply for the GMB sofa, Lee went on to call for Susanna, who has been presenting on the ITV show for 12 years, to lose her job. 

'To actually judge me without any evidence and calling me a conman is ridiculous, she should lose her job for that Susanna,' he continued.

'You're prejudging, you're prejudiced towards me without any solid evidence other than an ex is coming forward with a story, and that's all it is.

'If you're an investigative journalist then surely you should know that.'
