“She was an absolute disgrace. Clear to see how hard the other cast members have worked .. very clear she thinks she can rock up making zero effort!!!” Katie’s co-star Bippo cheekily joked that she only learned “two of her 25 lines” for the performance.
Meanwhile, another person echoed: “Lol you hardly had any words, did no rehearsing and Bippo acted you off the stage. Good work you can’t sing or act – your family must be so embarrassed.”

Despite the backlash, Katie was also defended by her fans as one said: “Maybe the nasties could have a day off, it’s nearly Christmas ffs..” As another wrote: “You were fab, we loved it. Totally confident and funny as!”
Katie previously admitted she found it difficult to learn her lines for the show. She confessed on her podcast: “I’m not from the West End, right, and these songs aren’t singing, they’re more like talking. I don’t know how to learn it. It’s not even the kind of music I would listen to.”
