Lee Andrews was photographed appearing fresh-faced and cheerful as wife Katie Price posted the first image of him following a four-week jail stint. Self-described millionaire Lee had been incarcerated in Dubai's infamous Al Awir prison and looked remarkably healthy given his surroundings when he contacted Katie via FaceTime.

Upon securing his release, Lee telephoned his wife, who is reported to have contributed not a single penny towards his £140,000 release fund, and Katie subsequently shared photographs of their conversation with the Sun. In the photograph, Lee is wearing a baseball cap, appears sun-kissed, and grins widely during the video conversation. While Lee may be smiling currently, it's claimed Katie is prepared for a confrontation with him regarding his behaviour.

An insider told The Sun: "Lee is out, and back in his rental. He called Kate straight away and she was thrilled – not least because she didn't pay a penny of the £140,000 fine to get him out."

They added: "Of course, she has heard the discourse surrounding him, and she's not stupid. She knows the optics aren't great if she stays with this man. But as any woman who has been love-bombed knows, it's hard to leave when you're being treated so well. For whatever reason, she still loves him and is hugely physically attracted to him."

The source continued: "But make no bones about it: Lee is a conman and a fraud and there must be consequences to his despicable actions. She must leave this man."

Lee has been imprisoned in the notorious jail for more than a month on suspicion of fraud, despite his assertions that he had been detained for espionage.

Eager to reassure supporters that this is not a publicity stunt designed to attract media coverage, she firmly told the publication: "This is real, this is real life; this is my life. It has been a tough few weeks, don't get me wrong. But I've still stayed strong through it all, and I have a smile on my face."

Katie, who shares two children with Peter Andre, continued: "So, in this situation, I'm doing what I want to do, and I'm out here in Dubai, because I'm here to help Lee. Some people might not like my choices, but I'm not living for everyone else."

This follows Katie's earlier claim that her husband, who has yet to visit her in the UK, had been abducted.
