Katie Price has declared her love for her husband Lee Andrews, who is being held in a Dubai prison, while simultaneously performing at Canterbury Pride and asking the crowd whether she should leave him.
In an Instagram Stories post on Saturday, Price wrote: "I love @wesleeeandrews." The declaration came just days after she returned from visiting Andrews in Dubai, where she said he is being detained in Al Awir prison on suspicion of being a spy. Price has claimed that a fine of £100,000 is needed for his release.
“Katie Price declares love for jailed husband Lee Andrews while Brendan Banfield is jailed for life for murdering his wife.”
During her Pride performance, footage shared by drag icon Courtney Act showed Price singing a rendition of "Finally" by CeCe Peniston. In a video on TikTok, Price told the crowd she had been to a prison to "find Lee" and asked: "Do I leave Lee or stay with him?" The crowd cheered for leaving and booed for staying.
Separately, a husband who plotted with the family's au pair to murder his wife has been jailed for life. Brendan Banfield, 40, a former IRS law enforcement officer, was found guilty of murdering his wife Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan in February 2023. Judge Penney Azcarate said: "The level of cruelty, calculation and inhumanity in this case reflects something far deeper than anger or impulse – it reflects evil." Banfield's au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, 26, was given a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty to manslaughter.
