Katie Price has confirmed her husband Lee Andrews does have a travel ban - despite his repeated denials that he is barred from leaving Dubai.
It was previously claimed British-born Lee, 42, spent three weeks locked up in a Dubai jail for allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to take out a £200,000 loan in her name and has been banned from leaving the United Arab Emirates. He denies this.
Last month, Lee was also hit with a fresh accusation that he took $1000 from another woman and has thus far failed to pay her back - he denied the claims on Instagram soon after.
Now, the former glamour model, 47, who married Lee in Dubai in January, has confirmed he is currently unable to travel during a recent episode of her podcast.
During the episode, Katie was quizzed by her sister Sophie about her husband's situation.
Katie said: 'Of course I’m going back to Dubai and Lee will come here when he needs to.

'People have to remember he’s lived in Dubai for 21 years, that’s where he lives and where he does his work. There’ll be a time when he does come to England and he’ll be with me.'
Sophie then asked: 'I thought he had a travel ban?'
Katie replied: 'Do you know what? Everyone has said to me you can get a travel ban over anything in Dubai.
'A parking ticket or if you owe a bill for electricity or something… you can get a travel ban for absolutely anything.'
Sophie asked: 'Do they do anything like that over here?'
Katie joked: 'No. If they did, I’d be banned for life! But yeah, you can get one for even breathing the wrong way in Dubai. It’s so strict.'
However, according to Chambers and Partners, a single, unpaid parking ticket in Dubai is highly unlikely to cause a travel ban.
However, if multiple traffic fines pile up, remain unpaid for a long time, and exceed AED 10,000, they could potentially turn into a civil case leading to a travel ban.
It comes as Katie's husband Lee addressed rumours of marital strife in his latest slew of social media ramblings.
The glamour model's fourth husband has been accused of being a 'scammer' amid a host of boasts about his life, including his statement that he is a millionaire businessman with a PHD from Cambridge University and links to Elon Musk.
Away from his various claims, it was alleged earlier this week that her family's concerns about her relationship with her Dubai-based husband has put a strain on their marriage - something he was keen to quash on Thursday.
On Instagram, Lee made a spoof article titled: 'Lee Andrews confirms return to the UK', with the words: 'The couple are stronger than ever and will make the commitment to living together this May ahead of their winter wedding this year'.
As well as his defiant display about marital woes, Lee also shared an X-rated image of his crotch alongside a shirtless snaps to plug his OnlyFans page, on which he charges $18-a-month and lists himself as 'Dr. Lee Andrews'.
Lee's defiant post alluded to rumours of woes in their cross-continent marriage, while he also shared screenshots of his Facetime calls with Katie.
It comes amid claims Katie's family's concerns over her marriage as well as Lee's inability to leave Dubai has taken the shine off their whirlwind romance.
A source told The Sun: 'Katie felt like she was in a fairy tale when Lee swept her off her feet and showered her with love and a diamond engagement ring.
'But the growing concerns from friends, fans, and particularly family members, who Katie is very loyal to, began to take the shine off.
'The knock-on effect the war in Iran had on Dubai also made her realise how far away she was from home and she missed her kids.'
The insider added the toll it has taken on Katie was clear when she uploaded a vlog complaining about staying in England and ruled out a permanent move to Dubai.
Although the source said she is still 'committed' to Lee, there is a niggling feeling as to how it will all work in the longterm.
Daily Mail has contacted representatives of Katie Price for comment.
Katie initially tied the knot in January just weeks after meeting, before holding a second, legal ceremony in February. However, throughout their marriage he has been living in the UAE while Katie has travelled between the UK and Dubai.
She has now declared she will not return to her husband's home and is instead hoping he will fly to the UK to see her soon, as she has 'done her bit'.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, she detailed her travel plans and navigating her cross-continent marriage to Lee, who has repeatedly denied claims that he is under a travel ban after forging his ex-girlfriend's signature to secure a £200,000 loan.
Insiders have claimed Lee has left the country, although there has been no solid evidence, while Katie has admitted she 'hopes' he will come to her.
Speaking to the camera, she said: 'Hopefully Lee will be flying to the UK soon. When he can, he'll come over and just do normal stuff here.
'I love that I'm back [in the UK]. I'm not going to go to Dubai now for a bit. I've done my bit in Dubai and with everything going on there, it's all quiet and I've got things to do back here as well.
'I still want to sort the house out, work, even though I can work there, I just like being home, everything is here. Where I've been in Dubai, it hasn't even been sunny, it's been raining.'
She spoke of her trips, saying: 'When I go to Dubai, I don't look at it like a holiday, I don't do all the holiday stuff...
'People always look at Dubai as pool parties, there are pool parties and you get those sides where it looks rich and people pose with flash cars...
'But when I go there, it's not like how you see it on Instagram, I do normal stuff. What I would do here, it's the same there.'
