Katie Prices husband Lee Andrews may have finally resurfaced after his mysterious disappearance in Dubai, but the bizarre saga has only created even more unanswered questions.
The former glamour model revealed this week that Lee had contacted her from Al Awir prison, a notorious jail often nicknamed Dubais Alcatraz, after vanishing for nearly two weeks.
Katie, 47, previously claimed her husband had sent her chilling messages saying he was in a van with his hands tied and feared he had been kidnapped. Now, according to Katie, Lee has resurfaced alive and OK, but huge parts of the story still do not appear to fully add up. Here are the biggest questions people are still asking.
Katie revealed that during their first phone call since his disappearance, Lee allegedly told her the authorities out there thought he was a spy.
It is one of the most shocking claims to emerge from the drama, especially given Lees very public relationship with Katie and social media presence.
At this stage, there has been no official confirmation from Dubai authorities that espionage accusations were involved. Some reports now suggest Lee may have actually been detained over a separate legal issue, which would explain why officials have not publicly mentioned spying claims.
One of the strangest twists came when Lees Instagram account suddenly followed a glamorous US Navy veteran known online as a biker babe while he was supposedly missing.
Followers immediately questioned how this could happen if Lee had no access to his phone.
One possible explanation is that somebody else had access to his account during the period he disappeared. Another theory is that Lee still had access to one of his devices despite claims he had been detained.
Lees father Peter publicly stated that his son had been arrested by UAE authorities, saying: Lee is OK. He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest.
But Katie quickly dismissed those claims as fake news, insisting Lee was still missing.
Now that Katie herself says Lee contacted her from prison, many are wondering whether she simply did not believe the arrest claims at the time or whether there was confusion over exactly what had happened to him.
Katie previously claimed Lee had three phones, with one still being used to contact her while two others had allegedly been taken away.
During the time he was missing, messages reportedly continued delivering to his WhatsApp and calls occasionally connected.
The most likely explanation is that one of the devices remained switched on and charged throughout the ordeal. However, it still remains unclear who exactly had possession of the phone during that time.
Despite the huge headlines surrounding the case, Dubai police have still not publicly confirmed Lees arrest or detention.
The Foreign Office has only issued a brief statement saying: We are supporting the family of a British man and are in contact with the local authorities.
The lack of detailed official information has only fuelled speculation online, with many questioning whether there is more to the story that has not yet been made public.
At one point, Katie insisted she personally had access to Lees Facebook account after users spotted him appearing active online during the disappearance.
She wrote: I have Lee's Facebook it's not him on this it's me.
But the statement later disappeared from her Instagram Story, leading followers to question why it had been removed so quickly.
Whether it was deleted to avoid further confusion or because new information emerged remains unclear.
