Katie Price has sparked fresh speculation about her marriage after stepping out in Marbella without her wedding ring during a lively night out with friends.

The 48-year-old reality star is currently enjoying a trip to the Spanish party destination with fellow television personality Chloe Ferry, appearing determined to put her recent personal troubles aside and enjoy the final days of summer.

During the latest night out, Price was seen dancing with close friend Ryan Mira and climbed onto him while the pair enjoyed the music. She wore a shimmering silver dress with a high hemline and paired the look with heels.

But it was the missing ring that attracted particular attention.

Price has been seen wearing and removing her wedding ring several times in recent weeks, making her latest appearance without it another talking point around her relationship with Lee Andrews.

From wedding ring to ringless night out

The latest sighting is notable because Price was wearing her wedding ring just days earlier while performing at Manchester Pride.

During that appearance, she was photographed wearing the large ring despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding her marriage.

Now, while enjoying herself in Marbella, the ring was nowhere to be seen.

Price has not publicly confirmed that her marriage is over, so the missing jewellery alone does not establish a change in her relationship status.

Still, the timing has inevitably attracted attention, particularly given the difficult circumstances surrounding Andrews.

A dramatic year for Katie

Price's relationship with Andrews has been surrounded by controversy for much of the year.

Andrews is currently imprisoned in Dubai, with reports stating that he is being held at Al-Awir prison over fraud and unpaid debts.

The Sun has also reported allegations concerning a number of claims Andrews made about his background, education, celebrity connections and professional life. One particularly unusual claim involved an alleged kidnapping in Dubai, which was later described as fabricated.

Price previously stood by Andrews during an earlier period of imprisonment, but the continuing revelations have reportedly put increasing strain on their relationship.

The Sun previously reported that Price had consulted a divorce lawyer as questions surrounding Andrews continued to mount.

She appears determined to enjoy herself

Whatever is happening privately, Price appeared to be having a carefree night in Marbella.

She danced to “Promiscuous Girl” by Timbaland and Nelly Furtado with Mira before posing with friends, including Chloe Ferry.

Price later captioned one of the clips she shared online with a message about letting her hair down.

The trip has given her a chance to step away from the headlines surrounding her personal life and spend time with friends.

She was also photographed in Marbella in a purple bikini while enjoying a swim, again without her wedding ring. That latest appearance was reported later on Monday, adding to the attention surrounding the missing ring.

The ring has become part of the story

Price's wedding ring has taken on an unusual significance in recent weeks because of how frequently she has been photographed with or without it.

At Manchester Pride, she wore it.

Earlier this month, she was photographed without it during a sunbed session.

Now she has once again appeared without the ring while on holiday in Marbella.

That back-and-forth has naturally led to questions from fans, although Price herself has yet to give a definitive public explanation about where her marriage currently stands.

For now, she appears to be concentrating on enjoying her time away.

With friends around her, music playing and the Marbella nightlife in full swing, Price looked ready to forget the drama for an evening.

But the missing wedding ring ensured that even her attempt at a carefree night came with another chapter in the ongoing questions surrounding her marriage.
