Katie Price’s husband, Lee Andrews, has cleared up the claims surrounding an alleged clash in Dubai involving Kerry Katona’s partner, Paolo Margaglione. He said, “There was no punch-up, things like that.”
Lee Andrews speaks on the alleged confrontation with Kerry Katona’s boyfriend Paolo Margaglione
According to The Standard, in February 2026, Katie Price and her husband were accompanied by her longtime friend Kerry Katona and Katona’s partner Paolo Margaglione for a Valentine’s Day trip. However, Margaglione left the holiday just 14 hours after arriving. Reports claim a disagreement broke out between him and Andrews during the trip. Margaglione described Andrews as “aggressive” tone towards Price. However, Price has denied claims that her husband punched Margaglione during the alleged incident. Katona, on the other hand, reportedly unfollowed Andrews on Instagram after the holiday.
Now, addressing the alleged clash, Andrews too denied having a punch-up with Margaglione and gave his version of events in a voice note recorded before his arrest, saying, “I’d like to shed some light on the Kerry Katona and Paolo item, because it’s not how it reads. There was no punch-up, things like that. To be honest, they had words, and they had a bust-up, but they seemed to have put it on me,” states The Sun.
“Kerry was quite rude to me on the day, to be fair, but then they were fine because they’d been drinking a lot, amongst other things, so I can shed some storyline on that, if it helps,” he added.
A source has disputed Andrews’ account, stating, “Tensions came to a head after Paolo stepped in to play peacekeeper with Lee and Katie, and the rest is well documented. Both Paolo and Kerry moved on and have no desire to speak anymore with Lee, but there is no ill-feeling towards Katie. It’s a difficult situation.”
In April, on Paul Brunson’s podcast We Need To Talk, Margaglione said he loved Katie Price “one on one,” while Katona added that she didn’t “agree with all the choices she makes,” reports The Mirror.
Price and Katona have been close friends for many years. They first formed a bond more than two decades ago on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. Talking about Price, Katona said, as quoted by Digital Spy, “She’s the most loyal friend in the world. There’s nobody else who understands than we do each other what it’s like being in this industry.”
