Katie, 27, joined EastEnders in February 2018 to play Hayley, the cousin of Jessie Wallace’s Kat Moon.
She was involved in a major story line later that year when it emerged she had had an affair with Alfie Moon.
Katie has been off-screen in the soap for the last several weeks because her character Hayley was convinced to seek treatment for her history of self-harm and drinking.
