She still looked effortlessly stylish in a coral mini dress as she spent several hours visiting a specialist before leaving with her new boots.

Clearly disheartened at the slow progress of her recovery, Katie’s pals attempted to cheer her up by heading to out for dinner in a new pink wheelchair.

Katie was rushed to A&E in Turkey last week for emergency surgery after doctors realised the extent of her horrific injuries. 

The TV personality had to spend a night in hospital after fracturing both ankles after she jumped off a wall at the holiday theme park, Land Of Legends. 

The journey to recovery will be a long road for Katie as she won’t be able to walk for three to six months.

According to doctors, she will need pins in her feet which will undoubtedly be another agonising experience.

Katie thought she might have to cut her holiday short to head home with her Love Island beau, Carl Woods. 

However, she decided to endure the pain and ride it out in Turkey for the sake of her children so that they could enjoy the rest of their holiday.  

Carl has been by Katie’s side throughout the ordeal, and as they arrived back home on Wednesday it’s been revealed the smitten pair are planning to move in together.

A source told The Sun: ‘She was talking about moving in with Carl before the holiday to Turkey, and being together 24/7 has only encouraged her to officially move in together.

‘They’re house-hunting together in Essex this week and can’t wait to live together. They’re extremely loved up and her kids have given him the thumbs up. She’s over the moon.’

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.’

Earlier this week Katie slammed trolls who accused her of faking her injury – as her daughter Princess claimed her mother won’t walk properly for a year.

Taking to an Instagram video, the mother and daughter addressed those who have accused them of lying – after one troll claimed Katie was in fact abroad having bunion surgery.

‘By the way, someone said on my Instagram, ”Oh she has had bunions done on both feet!”

‘Well, when I have the X-rays and show you, I haven’t had bunions, I have never had bunions in my life!’ Katie insisted.

Princess then chimed in, saying: ‘She’ll be in a wheelchair for three to six months – but she won’t walk for a year!’ 

Attempting to explain the condition – which sees a painful bump appear where the toe and foot connect – Katie seemed unsure herself, saying: ‘Like, you know, the side where you get like… that is one thing perfect about me, my feet! But obviously they are not perfect now!

‘At least I am learning to use the wheelchair better now!’

Katie and the family travelled to Turkey for a relaxing getaway last week but things quickly turned to disaster when the mother-of-five broke both her ankles.

Katie posted a video online from her stint in hospital as she got her feet bandaged up by medical staff and she cried out from the horrendous pain. 

As the doctor attempted to reposition her broken leg, the former glamour model yelled out ‘help, ouch, It’s hurting me,’ and pleaded with staff to operate on her.
