“It’s the nature of being an actor,”
“Gigs come and go, and after my contract with EastEnders ended, I found a new job as soon as I could.”
Her pillars of support have been her ex-costar, Tamzin Outhwaite and actress Nathalie Emmanuel. Katie expressed to Grazia:
“Their support gave me the strength to speak out and stand up for hard-working people – especially single mums. As long as I’m providing for them, nothing else matters. Everything I do is for them.”

Katie was glassed when she was on a night out in March 2019. Later, she assured her fans that she is fine. On her social media, she wrote:
“Ok to put people’s minds, and questions to rest. I am absolutely fine thank you so much for all your concern and checking in on me but I’m a soldier and been through hell of a lot worse.”
“Now you can start focusing your concerns on some real news Love you all xx.”
