Lee Andrews has discussed his wife Katie Price’s five children once again, hours after claiming he “adopted” them.
The self-proclaimed businessman - whom Price married in January just days after meeting him - previously said he has adopted her kids and claimed they are trying to have a baby together.
Price shares Harvey with her ex Dwight Yorke, as well as Junior, 21, and Princess, 18, with ex Peter Andre, 53, and has two children from a previous relationship.
In a Cameo video to a fan for Father’s Day last week, he said: “I haven’t got children, but we’re trying. I’ve adopted five of them. I love my wife and I love her children.”
Andre was quick to hit out at Andrews claims, saying it was “categorically untrue” and “yet another lie”. He added that Andrews has “never met” the kids.
Now, Andrews has doubled down on the adoption claims in another Cameo video message to a separate fan.
”Obviously, five beautiful children that I get to call my own now. Handful,” he said in the clip obtained by The Sun.
“Now back to spinning plates and juggling.”
Elsewhere in the video, Andrews claimed one of Price’s eight Sphynx cats has died.
“She’s got five Sphynxes actually. One has just passed away,” he said, while praising the fan on being a “cat dad”.
“Sorry, eight Sphynxes, five dogs. Eight Sphynxes, now seven, one passed away.”
Price - who previously revealed she wants to have Andrews’ baby - has not yet commented on her husband’s claims about adopting her children.
In February, Junior and Princess broke their silence on Price’s whirlwind marriage to Andrews.
“I’ve not met him,” Princess said during their joint This Morning appearance.
Junior added: “Our mum is her own person, she’s her own woman. She’s going to do what she’s going to do and at the end of the day, we’re supportive of her as long as she’s happy.”
Andrews has sparked repeated allegations that he is a conman, with three of his exes speaking out against him. He has denied the claims.

He was released from prison in Dubai last week after being arrested on reported fraud charges.
He was detained for a “private civil matter” last month but insisted to Price that he was kidnapped on suspicion of espionage.
He had been set to fly to the UK to do a joint interview with Price on Good Morning Britain but failed to show up and could not be contacted.
The TV star and Andrews’ family launched an international appeal to find him after he went missing for two weeks, with Price later revealing he was “alive and well” at Dubai’s Al Awir Central Prison.
After he was located behind bars, Price said Andrews had been shocked to discover he had become “the most hated man in prison” as his disappearance sparked widespread speculation online.
He is thought to have finally told Price he has a travel ban in UAE after months of denying the claims.
The reality star said she “really believed” Andrews was trying to fly to the UK and insisted she is not “stupid” and is fully aware of the conman allegations.
Price added that she doesn’t feel she’ll be scammed by him as she is “protected by the nation” and said she is ready to be “done” with him for good if she doesn't get the answers she wants when they finally meet in person.
