Loose Women star Katie Piper has undergone more than 400 surgeries and procedures since she was the victim of a vile acid attack in 2008, and now she's set to have more operations this year
Katie Piper, a star of Loose Women , has disclosed her plans to undergo further facial surgery, 16 years after a horrific acid attack. The television presenter and philanthropist was subjected to a brutal acid attack in 2008, orchestrated by her abusive ex-boyfriend, which resulted in blindness in one eye and severe burns.
The 40 year old has courageously shared her journey on social media and established The Katie Piper Foundation to assist burn victims. Her efforts were recognised with an OBE in 2022. In a conversation with OK!, Katie detailed that her injuries are "all connected with my ears, nose and throat, as well as my eyes," and following the operation to sew her eyelid shut in November to save her eye, she feels fortunate to be a survivor. "It's a cliche, but I always meet people who are worse off than me.
However, she hopes to impart a worthy lesson to her girls about life's resilience and robustness. "You have to be resilient and robust in life, and that's what I try to teach my kids. I like to think of myself as always remaining tough, simply because there will always be bad things out there and we have to learn to deal with them," she courageously expressed.
