TV presenter Lizzie Cundy has spoken out about Katie Price’s relationship with Lee Andrews, saying she understands the criticism but insisting “it’s very hard” to see warning signs when you are emotionally involved.
Katie, who tied the knot with Lee in January this year just days after meeting, reunited with the self-proclaimed businessman in Dubai this week after she flew out to see him.
Photographs have emerged showing Katie and Lee spending time together in a pool in Dubai following his release from Al-Awir prison amid fraud allegations, which he denies.
Appearing on the Best Magazine UK’s Suddenly Single podcast, Lizzie said she sympathises with Katie as speculation continues around her romance with Lee.
“I just want to say a lot of people are giving Katie Price a lot of stick. But I feel for Katie, because when you’re in it, you can’t see the wood for the trees,” she said.
Lizzie went on to compare the situation to her own past experience, revealing: “I went out with someone quite similar to Lee Andrews.”
She explained that her former partner had been unfaithful and dishonest, claiming: “It’s very hard when you’re in it. And I went out with a guy who was not only seeing his former girlfriend behind my back, but would feed me a load of lies. Many women, people coming up to me saying ‘he owes me money.’”
Lizzie said she ignored repeated warnings at the time, adding that even people close to her tried to intervene.
“He pretended he was ill, saying that he’d been locked up and couldn’t escape. Very similar. And I would say, I’m not stupid. But because I was so involved, I wanted to believe every lie. And I didn’t think it was a lie.”
She added: “And it’s really hard when ex-girlfriends, even his former wife, called me and said, ‘Lizzie, please, can you not smell the coffee?’ And I just didn’t want to.”
Lizzie suggested Katie may be in a similar position due to Lee’s personality, saying: “And I think that’s what Katie’s involved in, because she’s obviously fallen for him big time. And he’s very charming.”
She also warned about his influence, adding: “Lee’s got that charm. I know people laugh at him, but he’s got the gift.”
Lee continues to deny the allegations that have surrounded him in recent weeks and there is no evidence he has been unfaithful to Katie.
Since returning to Instagram, Lee has repeatedly attempted to address the controversy, disputing reports surrounding his legal situation and insisting there is “not one shred of evidence” to support claims made against him.
The comments come as Katie Price has opened up about ageing and her health, revealing she is dealing with what she described as an “awful” condition that leaves her “dripping”.
In a recent interview, the 48-year-old discussed everything from her early modelling career to her marriage to Lee, as well as the physical effects of perimenopause.
“Yes! The foggy brain, it’s awful. I can’t even remember my cats’ names. And at night, you’re not just sweating, you’re dripping. It’s horrible what us women go through. Periods slowing down,” she said.
Katie, who has been married four times and has five children, confirmed she is perimenopausal, describing symptoms including memory issues and night sweats.
