Taking to her YouTube channel, the star explained: 'Silly me, at my age, should calm things down. Basically, silly little accident. I was running and jumped over a wall, as it was a little shortcut, and didn't really judge the height.

'I just sort of fell funny on my ankles and I fractured the hairline on my heels and stuff. The hospital here wanted to operate and wanted to put pins in and stuff. Because I'm away, I'd rather wait until I get home.'
She continued: 'It's the most painful thing ever. Like when I was trying to put the cast on, I was screaming in pain. They said I won't be able to walk for three to six months.'
Katie was taken to A&E for emergency surgery after doctors realised the extent of her horrific injuries.

A representative for Katie confirmed the plans, explaining: 'As Katie is temporarily wheelchair-bound, something no one could have foreseen, she has voiced the possibility of looking for a property that would work better for her wheelchair access and mobility scooter.
'Carl as Katie's carer would be living with her. There is a lot to consider: Katie's rehabilitation, the children, school, respective family, work commitments.
'Essex would be a probable location - Katie however remains in her current rented property in Surrey.'
