For Kerry Katona<\/a> actions speak louder than words as she has unfollowed Lee Andrews on social media following an alleged ‘punch up’ between her partner and Katie Price’s new husband while they were in Dubai. This comes as Katie returned to the UK today (February 26) without her husband in tow.<\/p>\n

Decked out in comfy clothes before stepping into a Rolls-Royce, the mum-of-five made the return to spend time with her family and son Harvey. There have been reports Lee isn’t able to come to the UK due to a ‘travel ban’<\/a>, but he denied these claims.<\/p>\n

During the couple’s weeks-long honeymoon in Dubai, Katie and Lee were seen to party with pal Kerry Katona and her partner Paolo Margaglione. However, reports suggested the two men had a bust up<\/a> as Lee was said to have had some cross words with his new wife.<\/p>\n

While Kerry was reportedly not present when the incident occurred, Katie has since denied any speculation. However, there may be more truth behind the alleged bust up as Kerry has made her feelings known through her actions on social media, reports the Mirror.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun, the source said: “She is still upset about what happened when they were all in Dubai together, and at the end of the day, her loyalties are with Paolo, not Katie and her new man. She is still on speaking terms with Katie and following her, but she doesn\u2019t want anything to do with Lee now.”<\/p>\n

They added Kerry’s actions speak for themselves even if she won’t say anything publicly. At the time, a source said Paolo stepped in while Lee was talking to Katie, which led to Lee shouting at him.<\/p>\n

The source added: “It all got very heated and Lee threw some punches and one of them landed Paolo square on the head.”<\/p>\n

Following rising speculation as to whether the incident occurred, Katie took to social media<\/a> to put the rumours to bed. On Instagram, she said: “Hey everyone. Oh, my God. There is so much speculation at the moment going around about me and Lee.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what the fascination is, but one thing I will clear up, there has not been any punch ups, punches thrown between Lee and Paolo. If anything, we had a really good day, and we celebrated with them, and that was it.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “Had a great day. I don’t know where these stories have come from. Lee has never, ever been aggressive, angry, or spoken to me in any sort of way.<\/p>\n

“We are so in love, and he is my absolute teddy bear. That’s what I call him, my teddy bear. And we can’t wait for when we get back to England to do a big wedding, when all our family friends and obviously Kerry and Paolo would be our special guests.”<\/p>\n

While Kerry and Paolo have been dating since last summer, Lee was seen to propose to Katie after just a week of knowing her in Dubai. The couple then had a whirlwind wedding which raised concerns with her family.<\/p>\n

However, her son Junior<\/a>, 20, recently said: “Our mum is her own person, she’s her own woman. She’s going to do what she’s going to do and at the end of the day, we’re supportive of her as long as she’s happy. As long as she’s happy that’s all I care about.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kerry thinks Katie’s latest romance is “bonkers”.<\/a> Writing in her new! magazine column, she said: “As Katie\u2019s friend I absolutely love and support her no matter what she does – but she\u2019s absolutely bonkers.<\/p>\n

“Kate just wants to be loved. But, for me personally, I wouldn\u2019t have got married. When I do get proposed to I want to make sure it\u2019s forever.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kerry Katona has unfollowed pal Katie Price’s husband, Lee Andrews, on social media following Dubai ‘punch up’.Jamie Roberts…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,2471,13236,224,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-447983","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-katie-price","11":"tag-kerry-katona","12":"tag-social-media","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
