- British reality star Katie Price says her husband has gone missing, following five days without hearing from him.

- The *Celebrity Big Brother *alum says she has not heard from Lee Andrews since Wednesday, after he was "detained in a van" near the Dubai-Oman border.

- Andrews' family has filed a report with the British embassy in Dubai regarding his disappearance.

Katie Price is raising the alarm over over the disappearance of her husband, Lee Andrews.

The popular British reality star, who married Andrews in January, says she has not heard from the Dubai-based businessman in five days — following a disturbing final communication.

"On Wednesday night my husband was detained in a van by the Oman boarder near Hatta. I have not heard from him since, despite getting the authorities involved, nobody knows where he is," Price wrote in the caption of a video uploaded to her YouTube channel on Saturday.

Price said that Andrews was attempting to "go through the border in Dubai to get on a flight to me" when she received an unsettling FaceTime call from the 43-year-old. "He had a hood on and he said 'I've just been captured, arrested,' or whatever. I can't remember the exact word he said, but he had ties around his hand, not handcuffs, and a hood, and he said, 'Look, they're coming back for me. They're coming back for me.' That is the last FaceTime call I had with him. And then his phone went dead at 10:03."

A source close to Price told *The Sun** *on Sunday that "Lee is officially a missing person now... Katie is in constant contact with his family and is desperately worried." Additionally, Price is "mortified" after seeing people "calling it a stunt and that she must be in on it, but she's absolutely not."

Price shared on YouTube that she and Andrews' family have "contacted the police, the embassy as well as "the head of CID in Dubai," or the Criminal Investigation Department of the Dubai Police.

"He's definitely a missing person now. I don't know if he's been kidnapped. We don't know what's going on," Price continued. "So now no one can find him in any prison, police station, anything, anywhere in Dubai. The police just can't find any record of it. So now we're wondering if he's been kidnapped."
