Katie Price has reportedly ended her marriage to Lee Andrews after discovering that his financial situation was very different from what she had been led to believe.
According to The Sun, Price has quietly consulted a top London divorce lawyer after allegedly discovering that Andrews had just £2.22 in his cryptocurrency bank account.
He had reportedly claimed to have £37 million.

The couple are said to have married in a surprise ceremony in Dubai eight months ago, where Andrews is based.
Price is understood to have ended the relationship by WhatsApp, allegedly telling him: “I have been played and you are not who you say you are. Why have you lied to me?”
A source told The Sun: “The marriage is done. She will never go to Dubai to see Lee again.”
Andrews is currently reportedly being held in a desert jail in Dubai.
Price is also not expected to travel to Dubai to visit him, according to the report.

The reported split comes as Price is back in the spotlight following the release of a new documentary about her life.
Her children, Junior Andre and Princess Andre, have spoken publicly about some of the most difficult periods of their childhood in Louis Theroux’s new four-part series Katie Price: Nothing To Hide.
The documentary, which premiered on Sky, looks at Price’s life in the public eye and the impact that years of media attention have had on her and her family.
Junior, 21, spoke about the effect his mother’s breakdown in 2018 had on the family.
He said: “When (Kieran Hayler) cheated on her the first time, that literally broke her.”
“That was probably the most difficult time of my life – of our lives – probably,” he added.
Junior also spoke about the challenges he experienced while living with Price during that period.
“Mum was on drugs, and she could not look after us, and that’s the reality of it. She couldn’t. And then I got fed up. I clocked on that this was a very unhealthy environment, and I needed to get out.”
He said his father, Peter Andre, gave him the stability he needed at the time.

“Thank God my dad was stable, because that’s the house I went to and gained my sanity back.”
Junior also admitted that the experience affected how he viewed himself, saying: “It made me feel like I wasn’t good enough, because she wasn’t fixing herself for me, she wasn’t fixing herself for us.”
Despite those difficult memories, he also described Price as a loving and fun mother.
“Mum is a very fun mum. Very loving, in her own way.”
Princess, 19, similarly described growing up with Price as unpredictable but rarely boring.
“You never have a boring day with her, there is always something going on in her life.”

Price has previously said that she feels the public often judges her based on headlines rather than knowing the full story.
“I’ve been on a rollercoaster journey, and there’s so much that’s been written about me over the years.”
“People believe everything. They all think they know me. I know I’ve done reality shows, and don’t get me wrong, I’m an open book, and people do know a lot about me, but the question is: do they know everything? And the answer is no, they don’t.”
The reported breakdown of her latest marriage now adds another chapter to Price’s turbulent personal life.
