Katie Price’s new husband Lee Andrews has explained why he filters his pictures, after images of what he really looks like left fans baffled.
The businessman, 43, who married Katie, 47, in Dubai last week, airbrushes many of his social media snaps.
One recent image from his Facebook page is almost unidentifiable as him when compared to a version of the same photo which appeared in an article two years ago.
The social media snap shows Lee with a darker beard and with smooth, tanned skin whilst his jawline is much more defined.
Other edited photos show the entrepreneur with distinctive pearly white teeth, in stark contrast to a more natural smile in photos on his Linked in profile.
And now, in a video he filmed on the day he married Katie but posted on Thursday, Lee shared why he puts filters on his social media.

He blamed his decision to filter his photos on bad lighting, saying: ‘It’s not as bright as this, I put a filter on because it’s such a dingy day now.’
Katie shocked fans when she tied the knot for the fourth time to Lee, just days after they got engaged and a week after she announced she had split from JJ Slater.
Lee’s proposal was identical to when he popped the question to his ex Alana Percival just four months before in the exact same spot in the Burj Al Arab.
He proposed in September and the set-up was identical to Katie’s engagement at the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab.
Alana has continued to mock his matching engagement on her Instagram and on Thursday shared snaps of the identical proposal.
‘My version… couldn’t get more identical’, she wrote.
Alana has claimed she has ‘proof’ that Lee is a ‘lying swindler’ after warning her to ‘run for the hills’.
She took to Instagram on Wednesday with a warning to Katie that her new man is not what he seems.

She wrote: ‘Women look after women. I thought it was all a lie too until I had to find out the hard way… you want proof of everything, it’s waiting for you…’ and tagged Katie in the post.
Alana also shared a photo of herself in a bikini on the beach and wrote: ‘Catching flights not fiancés ❌ Somebody with your ex right now thinking they found the one @katieprice … more to come today’s news is just a warm up.
‘You guys wanted to know what he is all about? Well let me start to tell you …#runforthehills’.
Lee connected to Alana on Facebook last March and showered her with a Louis Vuitton handbag, Cartier jewellery and transferred thousands of pounds.
Alana said as soon as she posted a picture of their engagement, she was contacted by his estranged Russian wife Cezara and two other exes, who claimed he was a ‘liar’.
Despite their warnings, Alana, who has since branded him a ‘lying swindler’, said she thought their relationships had just ended badly as she ‘never had someone basically tell me that they love me the way he does’.
Daily Mail contacted Lee and representatives of Katie for comment at the time.
Before Lee popped the question to Alana and then Katie, making him her ninth fiancé, he was married for several years to health and fitness coach Dina Taji, 41.

When Katie revealed her huge square-cut diamond ring, some suggested it was the same engagement ring he had given to his ex-wife, Dina.
Meanwhile, another of Lee’s exes, Crystal Janke, has claimed Lee hoodwinked her into handing over £123,000 to invest in his company, on the promise he could get a ‘return of £1million’.
The Sun reports the police are aware of the alleged fraud.
The family nurse practitioner from Texas, who started a romance with Lee last May, claims she has been scammed and fears her money was spent by Lee on lavish gifts for Alana, who he was dating at the same time.
Crystal commented on Alana’s post, writing: ‘Keep smiling and soaking up every moment – you truly deserve it!’ to which Alana replied, telling her that ‘There is so much more to this story, karma.’
Crystal wrote: ‘I truly wish I could jump on a plane and fly to you right now just to hug you. Thank you for having the courage to listen when I reached out. At the end of the day, women supporting women always wins, and I’m grateful we crossed paths for a reason.’
‘I’m sorry this happened to both of us, but we’re going to get through it- and we’ll come out on the other side stronger and empowered.
Alana added on her Instagram Stories: ‘This man had me shrinking myself making me not want to speak up, telling me not to speak to my friends about how he acted because they all told me to leave him. He even ruined some of my friendships pulled me away from people I love by protecting him.’

Katie Price’s new husband Lee Andrews appears to have used the same ring – predicted to cost around £40k – to propose to the star as he used on his ex-wife Dina Taji
‘Made unlimited promises making me look as bad as him because I was on his side!! Finally I get to speak freely and tell you all, I hope Katie listens I wish I had listened to all the others that warned me! Please ladies if you experience anything like this run a mile and more. Keep running!
Crystal said she believes Lee had planned on proposing to her in the same way just two weeks before Alana’s engagement after they looked at rings together.
But her sister began to become suspicious of Lee and contacted a private investigator, who then revealed he was dating Alana at the same time.
Crystal said: ‘The PA then found his ex Dina and she said, ‘Run for the hills. He’s not who he says he is’. She said he scams people all the time.’
Crystal swiftly ended the relationship, contacted her bank and reported Lee to police as she said: ‘I know there’s no chance I’ll ever get this money back. Looking back I think, ‘How did I let him scam me?’ But he was so convincing.’
Lee told the Daily Mail that he did have a relationship with Alana, stating: ‘I gave her a lavish lifestyle. I invested in her real estate business. I have to dismiss all her claims.’
He added that he does have a heart condition but ‘I have never used this as leverage as a conversation to fake anything. It’s something that was bought up in conversation because I was with my partner.’
He added of Crystal that ‘I have never met the woman’ adding that he has ‘exchanged conversations and a couple of texts but I do not have any notion of her investing in me or sending me money. I have to dismiss that claim.’
The Sun claims to have seen texts from Lee to Crystal in which he says he was ‘dating a really famous person from the UK’ and wants to meet her in London to return her money.
Katie’s family have reportedly been left in the dark over her shock marriage to Lee following the pair’s whirlwind ‘one-week’ romance.
A source told the Daily Mail that Katie’s family had not spoken to her since she walked down the aisle.
It is now claimed that Katie’s family are deeply concerned about the speed of the relationship and are preparing to sit her down for a ‘serious talk’ over her marriage.
It has been reported that Lee’s glossy online profile supposedly caught her attention just days ago which led to the whirlwind wedding.
The couple, who are currently apart after Katie returned to England and Lee stayed in Dubai, have also had each other’s names inked on their hands.
Speaking to the camera, Lee said: ‘Hi guys how are you? So this is married life. There’s been a bit of confusion about tattoos and rings. Rings are all on the right fingers and tattoos are all on the right hands…
‘Anyway, lots of love to everyone and massive love, all the love in the world to Katie and I’ll see you soon. We had the most wonderful wedding, we are married, it is official and I’m the happiest man in the world…
‘Lots of love to everyone. That might clear up a lot of the 99 per cent of the junk that’s in my requests. It should. Lots of love to you all.’
Harking back to the tattoos, he shared another video showing his hand and penned: ‘So there is the tattoo, just so you can see it. Just so you know. It’s further up the hand than Katie’s and we are getting more tattoos.’
Further in his bid to silence naysayers, he then shared a video aimed further at those who claimed his ring was on the wrong hand.
He said: ‘Folks, folks, folks. Let me just do one think for you. Listen, I’m not a videographer and I’m not a photographer but this is my left hand…
‘From where you guys are sitting because it’s a reverse camera, it’s the frontal camera, and you can give it a go on your iPhone or your Androids or whatever you’ve got, if you show your left hand to yourself on the camera with the camera facing you it will look like the right hand…
‘I can assure you myself and my beautiful wife, both have the rings on the correct finger which is the left. She also has her engagement ring which is beautiful, I love you, I love you babe, and her wedding band. Our tattoos are on the right hand.’
