Katie Price's husband Lee Andrews blames prison food for hair loss
Lee Andrews blames prison food for going bald

Lee Andrews, the husband of former glamour model Katie Price, has attributed his thinning hair to prison food in a social media post that has reignited speculation about his appearance. The 43-year-old, who recently returned from a stint in Al-Awir prison in the United Arab Emirates over unpaid debts, shared a video on Instagram where he addressed followers about his changing hairstyle.

Instagram Video Reveals Bold Claim

In the video, Andrews begins by threatening to 'name and shame the 60 people from the celeb world' who have been criticising him. He claims he will 'call them out individually' after being labelled 'Britain's bad boy'. Pointing to his hair, he says: 'I look like something out of Oasis.' As he runs his fingers through his hair, he adds: 'I'm going bald. What the f**k?' before sighing and concluding: 'Prison food.'

Background of Hair Rumours

For weeks, online speculation about Andrews' hair has been intense. Rumours ranged from him using artificial intelligence to thicken his hair to undergoing a secret hair transplant. Some observers suggested he might be wearing a wig or hairpiece, especially after reports emerged that he had visited a Dubai salon to inquire about a permanent wig but decided against it.

Andrews' legal troubles include being kidnapped and held at gunpoint over 'espionage' allegations before his imprisonment. Since his release, he has made light of the hair rumours, but the latest video appears to offer a definitive—if unconventional—explanation.

Katie Price Weighs In

Katie Price addressed the hair controversy on her podcast, stating: 'These headlines about Lee. First of all, of course, he didn’t go to Turkey, he was missing, then was in prison, he’s had an ordeal… I’m sure one day he’ll talk about it.' She confirmed that 'he does want a hair transplant, and he will get a hair transplant, so that is that. There’s not really anything to say about his hair.'

Price also questioned why men's cosmetic procedures attract more scrutiny than women's. 'Why is it when men, in general, have surgery, hair transplants, or anything like that, no one says anything, but when us women do, “Oh, it’s this, it’s that”? Who cares if you’re bettering yourself with anything?' She noted that many men undergo hair transplants in Turkey, adding: 'So what if people want to look better for themselves? I’m all for it, same as I am for women.'

Comparison to Hair Extensions

Drawing a parallel to her own beauty routines, Price said: 'I have hair extensions. What’s wrong with that? Most girls have hair extensions. No one goes on about having fake hair put in for hair extensions.'

The couple's ongoing saga continues to attract public attention, with Andrews' latest video adding a new twist to the narrative surrounding his appearance and legal battles.
