Lee Andrews, the husband of former supermodel Katie Price, has erupted on social media after being ridiculed live on television by Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid. The incident occurred during a segment covering Katie’s latest documentary and Lee’s recent release from prison, prompting him to demand Reid’s dismissal and issue a scathing response via Instagram.
The broadcast, which saw Susanna co-hosting alongside Martin Lewis, featured entertainment reporter Richard Arnold giving the latest updates on Katie’s new documentary deal with Sky. Katie, known for her flair for drama, had suggested the project should have spanned eight episodes instead of four, claiming she “always brings the drama.” While discussing this, Reid’s frustration became painfully obvious. Rolling her eyes and muttering in disbelief, she remarked to her co-host: “I think my eyes just rolled out of my head.”
This seemingly small gesture did not go unnoticed by Lee. Taking to his Instagram stories, he confronted Reid directly, questioning her judgment and challenging her professionalism. He wrote: “So what is Susanna Reid rolling her eyes at? I’m not going to comment on that because obviously, I’ll get onto the sofa with Katie at some point and we’ll thrash it out.” Lee went on to accuse Reid of unfairly labeling him a conman without evidence, saying: “Then she can be as forthcoming as she likes but to judge me without any evidence and calling me a conman, that’s ridiculous. She should lose her job for that.”
Lee’s post made it clear that he felt the host’s attitude reflected prejudice rather than fact. “Your prejudice towards me without actually any solid evidence other than an ex coming forward with a story,” he continued. “If you’re an investigative journalist, and surely you should know that.” His outrage painted a picture of a man who feels both misrepresented and unfairly scrutinized by the media, particularly in light of his personal history.
He didn’t stop there. Lee recounted parts of his time in custody in the United Arab Emirates, emphasizing the harsh and confusing nature of his detention. “I’ll say it one more time—the National Guard who took me in the beginning have guns and they don’t register you as being arrested. They just take you and hold you and that is what happened. Anywhere in the world you go to an airport, they have guns, they’re patrolling the border and they took me, not in the best way either. It was not the best experience and from there, they held me in state security. I was transferred…” His account cut off mid-sentence in the video, but the message was clear: he had endured a traumatic experience that left him frustrated by public misjudgment.
Meanwhile, Reid had previously asked Katie directly about her husband during a separate Good Morning Britain appearance. Probing whether Lee was “unreliable,” she sought insight into the man at the centre of tabloid headlines. Katie, ever loyal, defended her husband. “Not to me,” she replied, maintaining her stance even as Reid pressed further. “What I love about you Katie is that you’re very open, but I just wonder if he’s telling you everything,” the host remarked. Katie’s answer underscored her unwavering trust: while the public may question Lee’s actions, she stood firmly by him.
The drama didn’t end on the sofa. Lee failed to board a scheduled flight to the UK for a joint interview with Katie on Good Morning Britain, adding another twist to the saga. The show’s research team sought clarification from the Foreign Office regarding Lee’s whereabouts. A spokesperson confirmed: “We supported a British man who was detained in the UAE,” a statement that left the hosts seeking more details. Katie responded sharply when asked about the situation, insisting there was no arrest to worry about. “No, I feel like they just said it to me in there [backstage] so I just said to Lee apparently a British man has been detained, can you confirm it’s not you?” she explained. Lee reassured her via voice note, humorously sending laughing emojis to downplay the drama.

Social media users quickly picked up on Lee’s Instagram post, with many echoing his outrage and criticizing Reid’s on-air behaviour. Some fans sided with Lee, arguing that public figures often face undue judgment without the chance to tell their side of the story. Others, however, pointed out that Reid’s reaction—while perhaps flippant—reflected the broader tension between tabloid headlines and personal truth, highlighting the challenging role journalists play when reporting on high-profile figures.
For Lee, the incident was about more than just a rolled eye. It became a question of fairness, credibility, and respect. He sought to draw a clear line, defending his reputation and insisting that any claims about his character be backed by evidence. The dispute shines a spotlight on the high-stakes world of celebrity media, where offhand gestures and brief comments can trigger public outcry, and where reality is often stranger—and messier—than fiction.
As the story unfolds, one thing is certain: Lee Andrews isn’t backing down. His defiant message to Susanna Reid is loud and clear—he expects accountability, a fair hearing, and the chance to set the record straight in his own words. For now, the UK’s breakfast television audience is left watching the drama continue to play out, both on and off-screen.
