She said: ‘Today is the actual first day that I’m actually going to wear heels since my accident,’ Katie said in a new video on her YouTube Channel.
‘So I don’t know what they’re like to walk in because these were summer shoes, can I still walk in them?’
A delighted Katie stood off and said: ‘Yes I actually f*****g can.’
The star then walked up and down before taking a moment to kiss beau Carl Woods, 32.

She said: ‘I love it, they’re actually so comfortable. We need to do a picture of that and say first time in heels.’
Last month, Katie revealed that she’s been registered disabled after breaking both her feet when she fell 25 feet in a freak accident while holidaying in Turkey.
The star suffered the horrific injuries while abroad and had to undergo an eight-hour operation to rebuild her feet.
Discussing how she’s coping six months on, Katie has detailed how she’s in constant pain and ‘waddles like a duck’ when trying to walk, with 20 minutes a day being her limit, in an interview with The Sun.

Katie said: ‘I will never be the same… I’ve got a limp when I walk now as one leg is longer than the other because of all the metal in the foot — I waddle like a duck. It does make me feel a bit paranoid
‘I’m registered disabled and have got letters from the doctors to certify me for a blue badge, which I’ve sent off for.’
Speaking about the pain she’s still feeling after the accident, Katie said that she feels like she’s ‘being electrocuted’ as the pain shoots through her feet.
The mother-of-five also revealed that she’s not been taking either of the painkillers given to her as she’s worried about becoming addicted so is always in lots of pain.
She went on to explain how when out shopping she has to strategically park close to the shops and can’t carry heavy items as it hurts her feet too much.

Katie, who can only walk for 20 minutes and has physiotherapy sessions four times a week, also said she’s been overcompensating for the pain while trying to take steps meaning the rest of her body is taking a toll.
She revealed she’ll have to get her legs and hips ‘aligned’ and also wears pads in her shoes to help with a collapsed arch.
As well as impacting her health, the constant pain and difficulty moving around has meant the mum-of-five has had to miss out on playing with her children.
Katie, who’s now getting legal advice about her situation, said: ‘This has all affected our home life dramatically… It’s all just a nightmare that has gone from bad to worse.’
The star later explained how her feet are ‘destroyed’ following the incident, with doctors telling her they have amputated legs with similar injuries, and admitted she returned to The Priory to learn to ‘walk again’.

Katie underwent an eight-hour operation to rebuild her feet after she was ‘mucking about’ following a few drinks and jumped off what she thought was a ‘small wall’ at the Land of Legends theme park.
Discussing her injury on her YouTube channel at the time, Katie said: ‘Silly me, at my age, should calm things down. Basically, silly little accident. I was running and jumped over a wall, as it was a little shortcut, and didn’t really judge the height.
‘I just sort of fell funny on my ankles and I fractured the hairline on my heels and stuff. The hospital here wanted to operate and wanted to put pins in and stuff. Because I’m away, I’d rather wait until I get home.
‘It’s the most painful thing ever. Like when I was trying to put the cast on, I was screaming in pain. They said I won’t be able to walk for three to six months.’
The model has also revealed how she has returned to The Priory because her ‘mental health’ has been ‘badly affected’ by her injuries.
She last visited The Priory in September 2018 and spent 28 days in the facility after her family urged her to seek help following wild partying antics in Mallorca.
Katie has always been very candid about her recovery from the injury and previously revealed she feels ‘humiliated’ at the prospect of having to learn to ‘walk again’.
Aw! She added that she ‘feels sorry’ for boyfriend Carl who has doted on her since the accident and said that it is ‘demoralising’ seeing him push her in the wheelchair
She’s discussed how tasks are ‘impossible’ including going to the toilet, cooking, reaching for the cupboards and taking a bath where she could ‘drown’.
The video comes amid speculation Katie is pregnant with her sixth child – she posted a picture of her stomach last week alongside the caption: ‘Happy and healthy. It’s the best feeling ever. I thank @carljwoods for being part of me.’
Earlier this month, Katie admitted: ‘If I could, I’d definitely like another four kids. I might be able to, but my age isn’t helping.
‘Realistically, I’m hoping to have another two. The next will be very special.
