Susanna Reid takes brutal swipe at Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews over prison claims

Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid made her feelings about Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews abundantly clear during the latest broadcast of the ITV show

Susanna Reid couldn’t help rolling her eyes when Katie Price’s husband was mentioned on Good Morning Britain.

Susanna and co-host Ed Balls were meant to interview Katie and her husband on the ITV show last month, but he missed the interview as he failed to board a flight to the UK. Lee then went missing for days before Katie confirmed he was in a Dubai prison.

Lee has now been released from prison – and has claimed he was held at gunpoint and beaten up before being locked up. He alleged in his video on Tuesday (June 16) that he had been wrongly accused of spying.

But Susanna clearly wasn’t buying it when entertainment reporter Richard Arnold brought up Lee’s latest comments on-air. Susanna told Richard: “I think my eyes just rolled out of my head”.

In his video, Lee said: “Hi everyone, this is Lee. I’ve been missing now for several weeks. I can tell you I’m now safe and healthy and with my wife. I was taken close to the Hatta-Oman border by men at gunpoint and then I was captured by men with assault rifles.”

“They did slap me around a little bit, little s***s, and I was hand-tied, shackled and also had a hood over my head. From there I was taken to a black site and I had no use of my phone and from what I know it was an extended arm of the National Guard and that’s all I can reveal at the moment.

“I have signed disclaimers now with state security and from there I was put into the system. At no point have I faced anything to do with fraud allegations or any criminal activities such as that.”

UAE authorities have disputed Lee’s account, saying he had spent four weeks in custody on suspicion of fraud, rather than allegations of espionage.

Katie seemed to back up Lee’s claims by sharing the video on her feed. She said: “My husband is back. I love you.”
