Katie Price is understood to have ended her marriage to Lee Andrews just eight months after the couple wed.
The 48-year-old former glamour model is said to have broken the news to her fifth husband via WhatsApp, telling him: “I have been played, and you are not who you say you are. Why have you lied to me?”
She has also reportedly been in contact with a leading divorce lawyer in London.
Speaking to a friend on Tuesday, Ms Price is said to have declared: “I have come to my senses — Lee has lied and lied and lied. I am sick of it. It is over.”

INSTAGRAM/LEE ANDREWSThe couple tied the knot in Dubai in January after knowing each other for only a matter of days.
According to reports first published by The Sun, the catalyst for the split was a revelation about Mr Andrews’ finances.
He had allegedly told the former glamour model that he possessed $50 million (approximately £37 million) in a cryptocurrency wallet and had even shared the recovery phrase, the passkey needed to access the account.
On Monday, Ms Price reportedly enlisted a financial expert to open the wallet, only to discover it held a mere $3, equivalent to just £2.22.

PAA source told The Sun: “The marriage is done. She will never go to Dubai to see Lee again. It was, of course, an accumulation of many things but the final straw came after Lee had told Katie he had $50million in a crypto wallet.”
Ms Price shared a video on Instagram of herself striding down a corridor, captioning it: “Walking to my new adventures.”
Warning signs had been accumulating for weeks before the reported split. Ms Price has not set foot in the UAE since late June, shortly before Mr Andrews was sent back to prison for a second time.
Her wedding ring has been notably absent on several occasions, most recently during a trip to Marbella, where she was photographed without it just a day before the split was reported. However, she had been spotted wearing the ring at Manchester Pride only days earlier.

At The Hair and Beauty Awards earlier this month, Ms Price was also seen openly flirting with former X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden on stage, asking him: “Are you blowing me out? Is that a yes or a no? I’m putting you on the spot.”
She had also stopped mentioning Mr Andrews on her weekly podcast, The Katie Price Show.
Mr Andrews, 43, is believed to still be behind bars at Dubai’s notorious Al Awir prison.
He was first locked up in May on fraud allegations before being released, only to be arrested again in July over outstanding debts. He is reportedly attempting to gather the funds necessary to secure his release.

GETTYMs Price has made clear she will not be footing the bill. She told The Sun: “He’s in prison and the only way Lee will get out of prison, he has to sort it out himself.
“That’s the end of that. If not, he’ll be prison. There’s nothing I can do. I’m not here to pay anything for anyone.”
A source also claimed that Mr Andrews had “deeply embarrassed her” throughout their brief marriage.
GB News has contacted Ms Price’s representatives, who declined to comment on the reports.
