Essex Police said in a statement following the alleged incident: “We were called by colleagues in the ambulance service to reports of an assault shortly after 1.30 am this morning, Monday 23 August.
“We arrived and found a woman had sustained a facial injury which required hospital treatment.
“A man was arrested a short time later on suspicion of assault.”
It had been reported by The Sun that Katie’s case could be dropped after friends had suggested she wouldn’t be able to to face “another court appearance”.
However, the reality star’s representative told the Daily Star: “Katie is not withdrawing her statement.
“She is emotionally vulnerable but strong with the dedicated support of all those around her, management, family and the unconditional support of her fans and supporters.”
