'The injury is minimal, doesn't require any further attention and she is completely fine'
It's claimed that Rochdale-born Katie was unaware that the Glitterball on set was the genuine article, and so 'pelted' the ball with full force while wearing a pair of strappy heels.
A source told The Sun: 'She was absolutely raging because nobody told her that it was a genuine glass glitterball. Her feet were properly exposed in high heels and she was dolled up to the nines for filming.
'After giving it a brief run-up, she pelted the ball and was left in severe pain. There was glass everywhere and everyone was left in shock at what happened.

According to the source, the filming session was immediately halted so that Katie's foot could be tended to.
The insider claimed that Katie was upset that nobody on set instructed her to pretend to kick it, nor warned her that it was so heavy.
A BBC spokesperson reportedly told the publication that Katie sustained a 'minor cut to her foot' and was 'absolutely fine' after an on-site medic applied a plaster.
MailOnline has contacted Strictly for comment.

The Hollyoaks star was pictured looking worse for wear while slumped against a wall on a pavement in July, following a boozy night out at The Ivy in Manchester.
A friend of the former Corrie actor told The Sun: 'Katie is a young woman and loves going out with her pals.
'But those pictures weren't great for her look and she was warned against doing anything which could hamper her chances on Strictly.
'She is totally focused on the show. Instead of partying, Katie has become a gym junkie and is working out three times a week. Katie knows how physically taxing Strictly can be.

'She saw the success of EastEnders' Maisie Smith last year when she got to the final. She wants to continue to fly the flag for soap stars on Strictly.'
It comes after it was reported that BBC producers won't be pairing Katie with her former flame Giovanni Pernice on the 2021 series.
The former Waterloo Road star and the professional dancer, 30, never made their relationship official but were romantically linked back in 2017 when it was reported that they'd enjoyed a night out with pals and 'dinner and the cinema' date.
However she later shut down speculation and denied they were dating.

And despite speculation that bosses were keen to match them on the new series, they are now reportedly deciding against it because they don't want to 'stoke flames'.
The Sun claims they are trying to avoid starting rumours as Giovanni is now in a relationship with former Love Islander, Maura Higgins, 30.
A source told the publication on Saturday: 'There's always speculation about the pairings and how they will impact on relationships. The bosses do not want to stoke flames.'
Katie is believed to be single after separating from her boyfriend Benji Roberts, in 2019.
