    Katie Price has defended her decision to marry Lee Andrews

    The 47-year-old former glamour model tied the knot with the businessman in Dubai last month after a whirlwind romance and insists she is "not stupid" amid concerns about her new spouse's background.


    Packing her bags to visit Lee in the Middle East, Katie said in her latest YouTube video: "I'm going back to Dubai, obviously going back to see Lee. I've made no comments about anything, I don't feel I need to comment about anything.

    "I'm fully aware like everyone else, I see stuff, I get sent stuff. What I want everyone to know is, I'm a grown a*** woman.

    "I'm 48 this year, I'm not a young kid. I've learned a lot in the past few years, through therapy and learning to love myself. So I'm not stupid, I know what I'm doing and if I'm happy that's all that matters."

    The star continued: "At the end of the day, no one knows what I know. It's only been speculated by the press.

    "I am very happy and that's all that matters. That happy I'm going back to Dubai for the weekend. So I can't wait."

    Katie implored her fans not to be concerned about her decision to marry for the fourth time.

    She said: "If there's anything to update you on, I would always update you all. But I just want people to not worry.

    "I'm not worried, so you don't need to worry about anything. Like I say, I will do what I want to do.

    "But I want everyone to know you don't need to worry, I'm really happy, there's nothing to worry about. That's all I need to address on that."

    Katie explained how she married Lee "at first sight", with the couple exchanging vows just days after meeting in Dubai.

    She told The Sun newspaper: "How I met Lee was esoteric; we connected [by] both checking each others' socials and quickly realised: 'Wow, this is for me'.

    "In the old-fashioned way, first by words which captured us both. That evolved deeper as we connected further within days [getting] matching tattoos, and then both deciding to buy rings for the other.

    "All this without even meeting, we let fate, but you could say destiny, decide."

    Price added: "I'm just so happy with my person that is just as happy as I am. What we have, they haven't even invented the words. He has now the best version of me which can only grow more, knowing we are each others'.

    "On the wedding, all I can say is 'fatale', and this was a wedding at First Sight."
