Essex Police said the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

“We are in regular contact with the victim and are continuing to support her,” a spokesman said.

Katie and fiancé Carl Woods were pictured together last week – the first time since the incident.

It came after the mother of five’s close friend Danielle Lloyd claimed Katie will need therapy to get over the alleged attack.

Danielle, 37, told Closer magazine: "It was totally heart breaking to hear about Katie's ordeal. I texted her as soon as I heard.”

Another friend told OK! Magazine that the 43-year-old now wants to focus on her children.

“This is beyond anything Katie’s ever experienced before,” they said.

“It’s been a tough week and Katie’s feeling emotionally vulnerable, very fragile and exhausted. But she’s also now more focused and just wants to get on with her life and put herself and her children first.”

The mum of five shares Junior, 16, and Princess, 14, with first husband Peter Andre, Jett, eight, and Bunny, seven, with third husband Kieran Hayler, and has Harvey, 19, by Dwight Yorke.

Essex Police previously said: “We were called by colleagues in the ambulance service to reports of an assault shortly after 1.30am.

“We arrived and found a woman had sustained a facial injury which required hospital treatment.”

The force later confirmed that a man had been arrested on suspicion of assault, theft and coercive and controlling behaviour.

After she was discharged from hospital, Katie said she had a “big bruise” and that her face was “all puffy”.

“I’m still all dazed. I’m devastated. I’ve told police that I was assaulted, and I am in shock that this happened,” she said.

She also claimed that she had run to Harvey’s nearby house after being allegedly attacked.

Katie said she had damaged her feet as a result, as she is still recovering after breaking them both in an accident in Turkey while on holiday last summer.
