Raye admits she's ‘emotional’ for Katie Price after Lee Andrews meme goes viral

Raye has admitted she feels “emotional” for Katie Price after a meme about the reality star’s husband Lee Andrews using her song went viral.

Price’s partner, who has faced accusations of being a conman, went missing for several weeks before being found in a prison in Dubai.

Andrews was arrested for reported fraud allegations last month and faces an apparent £140,000 fine to be released from prison.

Some online users poked fun at his absence on social media while he was missing, including with a video of Price saying “Where the hell is my husband?” set to Raye’s hit song, Where Is My Husband!

Raye shared her concern for Price while discussing the controversy at Capital’s Summertime with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium.

“Talking of lyrics, I mean, Where The Hell Is My Husband! has just literally dominated. Like, it’s not going anywhere. It’s been nine months of our life; we’ve been just loving life,’” Sian Welby said.

Raye asked, “Are you sick of it yet?” to which Welby and fellow host Jordan North insisted they were not.

Welby said: “Honestly, I’m not even saying this, we were saying the other day how it’s become part of…

“Like, I think you’ve entered a different level of, like, iconic words. You say, ‘I’ll Google it,’ or ‘Get me the hoover’ and it’s a brand. You must have seen so many celebs using it as a funny thing? The audio, the lines.”

North asked: “I mean, the Katie Price meme. Did you see that?”

Raye covered her mouth with her hand and widened her eyes, declaring: “Oh my God, I did! I felt so emotional for her. Is she doing alright?”

North replied: “She was like, ‘I don’t know where she is?’ and then in the background it went, ‘Baby…!’ She went, ‘Yeah, where is my husband?’”

Raye winced, saying: “Oh no!”

Price’s drama with Andrews, whom she married in January days after meeting him, has dominated headlines for weeks now.

Andrews was detained for a “private civil matter” last month but insisted to Price that he was kidnapped on suspicion of espionage.

The businessman 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.

He told Price he had been “bundled into a van” with his hands tied at the Dubai border and taken to a so-called “black site” while attempting to fly to London.

His family reportedly filed a missing persons report with the British embassy but consular staff in Dubai were reportedly unable to find any trace of him.

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.

She jetted to Dubai last week and visited Andrews three times at Al Awir Central Prison and spoke to his ex Dina Taji, a meeting that she said “opened her eyes”.

Dubai-based Andrews, who previously failed to fly to the UK despite sharing videos claiming to be at the airport, finally told Price he has a travel ban in UAE.

“He has a travel ban, he did eventually tell me. I said to him, ‘No one will b****y care if you’ve got a flight ban. It’s not a big deal,’” she told The Sun.

She went on: “The big deal is, you keep videoing, saying you’re at the airport, and you’re coming to England, and you don’t turn up.”

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 think 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.

“I’m not a mug, and when I finally see Lee, I am going to question him. And if the answers I get are not right, that will be it: I’ll be done. That’s it. And I’ll just get on with my life,” she said.

The television personality said her doubts were heightened when she met his ex Taji, who warned her “face-to-face” about Andrews.

After their meeting, Price said: “My eyes have been opened. I just need some time to think. I still cannot end things with Lee until I’ve spoken to him, but that was a lot.”

Fitness coach Taji was with Andrews for three and a half years and accused him of taking out a £200,000 mortgage in her name without her knowledge shortly after they married - something he denies.

She reportedly took legal action against Andrews, leading to him spending three weeks in a Dubai jail and being hit with a travel ban.
