Katie Price’s new husband Lee allegedly punched Kerry Katona’s boyfriend Paolo
Katie Price’s new husband has been accused of punching Kerry Katona’s boyfriend. Katie and Kerry’s friendship is said to be strained after the alleged altercation.
Katie, 47, tied the knot in Dubai with businessman Lee Andrews, 41, last month, just days after meeting him. The pair have been enjoying their honeymoon in Dubai after their shock wedding, which is said to have left Katie’s family concerned.
Katie and Lee linked up with Katie’s good friend Kerry and her boyfriend Paolo Margaglione in Dubai last week. The foursome posed for pictures in the sun and appeared to be having a good time.

But it’s now alleged that Lee threw punches at Paolo during a heated row. A witness reportedly told The Sun: “Lee was having some cross words with Katie. He was acting in what appeared to be an aggressive manner.”
“Paolo then appeared and stepped in. Lee seemed to be very angry and was shouting at him. It all got very heated and Lee threw some punches and one of them landed Paolo square on the head.”
It’s said Kerry was not present during the alleged altercation, which is said to have happened in a public part of the hotel where Kerry and Paolo had been staying.

Paolo is said to have left the area afterwards, and Katie and Lee were reportedly seen leaving shortly after.
Another alleged onblooker claimed: “It was crazy to see this play out. The situation seemed to be pretty heated but then it erupted very quickly. It all happened so fast. Paolo looked very shocked by what had happened and walked away. Katie didn’t look in a great way either, she seemed shocked.”
The outlet has claimed Katie and Kerry’s relationship has been “strained” since the alleged incident. Daily Star has contacted Katie and Lee for comment, as well as Kerry and Paulo. Katie’s representative declined to comment, as did Kerry and Paolo’s, but a representative for Katie and Lee told the Daily Mail that the altercation did not take place.
It comes after Katie suggested on Wednesday (February 18) she was going to have Lee’s baby. She did so while swiping at Lee’s ex, Alana Percival.
In the furious post, she wrote: “I know all about you and who you are. At least I’m the real woman he has found and deserves, but please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I’m having his child.”
Andrews confirmed their plans to start a family, captioning a photo of the pair: “Perfect couple, soon to be triple.”
