Katie Price and estranged husband Lee Andrews have raised eyebrows after appearing to reconnect just weeks after their spectacularly messy split.
The former glamour model, 48, has now fuelled speculation that their whirlwind romance isn’t quite over after being spotted wearing her wedding ring again.
Katie was pictured leaving a nail salon in Sussex this week with the enormous diamond ring firmly back on her left hand, according to The Sun.
The reality star appeared in good spirits as she chatted on the phone, accompanied by her eldest son Harvey, 24, who had joined her for the pampering session.
The jewellery choice is particularly intriguing given that Katie previously revealed she had moved her engagement ring to her right hand following their split.
Now, it seems the ring has found its way back to its original home – and that’s not the only sign that things might be changing between the pair.
Katie and Lee have reportedly started following one another on Instagram again, suggesting their relationship might not be quite as over as everyone thought.
The unexpected social media development comes after Katie reportedly ended their marriage via WhatsApp last month, amid claims she discovered Lee had just £2.22 in his bank account.
And things hardly appeared to be heading towards an amicable reconciliation in the weeks that followed.
Katie made a point of removing photographs of Lee from her Instagram, while he seemingly returned the sentiment by unfollowing her.
However, eagle-eyed fans have now noticed that the pair are back on each other’s following lists.
Perhaps most intriguingly, Lee’s private Instagram account is reportedly following just one person: Katie.
Whether this represents a romantic reunion, a temporary ceasefire or simply two people deciding to be civil on social media remains anyone’s guess.
Neither has publicly confirmed that they’re back together.
Their apparent change of heart comes amid an eventful few weeks for the couple, whose short-lived marriage has been plagued by controversy.
Lee was recently released from Dubai’s Al Awir prison after reportedly spending four months behind bars.
He has since expressed his determination to return to the UK, even launching an online fundraiser seeking £250,000 to help facilitate his return.
Meanwhile, Katie was said to have been preparing for a potentially difficult divorce, with reports suggesting she was concerned about the financial implications of ending their marriage.
A source previously told The Sun that the reality star, who has experienced well-documented money troubles over the years, was anxious to protect the financial stability she has been rebuilding through OnlyFans and her other business ventures.

‘There is a real worry Lee is going to try and take half of what she’s worth,’ the insider claimed.
‘She does not want to be his next con, and is hoping they can split amicably.’
The pair’s relationship has also been accompanied by some particularly bizarre social media activity.
Earlier this month, Lee appeared to suggest that he had died in an unusual online post, leaving followers thoroughly confused.
Katie subsequently shared a cryptic Instagram Story explaining the psychological concept of ‘deflection’, which involves redirecting blame or attention away from one’s own behaviour.
She did not identify who the message was intended for, although it arrived amid the fallout from her marriage breakdown.
Now, however, the former couple appear to have found themselves back in one another’s digital good books – and Katie’s wedding ring has made a rather conspicuous reappearance.
Of course, an Instagram follow and a diamond ring aren’t necessarily declarations of undying love, particularly when it comes to Katie’s famously unpredictable romantic life.
But after weeks of public drama, the sudden change of heart has certainly raised questions about whether their relationship is heading for an equally unexpected second chapter.
Metro has contacted Katie Price’s representatives for comment.
