Katie also insisted that Lee is planning to come to the UK despite reports that he is subject to a travel ban.

For the unversed, Lee was recently released from a prison in Dubai, where he had been held for a month over alleged fraud-related offences.

She continued: “So when he does come to England, he said he’ll do a lie detector test, but it’s become such a gimmicky joke now, no one believes it’s even a marriage now, it’s just not fair.

“Especially like my family, they don’t want nothing to do with him and you can’t blame them because what’s out there.”

Katie went on to reveal that her loved ones will refuse to meet Lee if he attempts to contact them to arrange a meet-up.

She went on to say: “I want them to [meet Lee], but at the moment they’re like ‘no’, because they’re protecting me.

“I love that, my family, friends, everyone is protecting me.

The documentary is available on Sky and streaming service Now from 8 July.
