Loose Women star K atie Piper revealed she’s planning on having more surgery on her face 16 years after a horrifying attack. The TV presenter and philanthropist was the victim of a vile acid attack in 2008 , which left her blind in one eye and severely burned, after her abusive ex-boyfriend hired a man to throw acid in her face following the breakdown of their relationship. Since the brutal assault, Katie has undergone more than 400 surgeries, including painful skin grafts, and in November last year, she underwent an operation to sew her eyelid shut in order to save her damaged eye.
Katie, 40, has bravely documented her journey on social media, and launched The Katie Piper Foundation helping burns victims, which eventually led to her being awarded an OBE in 2022. The Loose Women panellist, who is preparing for the launch of her very own breakfast show on ITV , has now revealed she’s planning on more operations this year to deal with the scar tissue from the burns on her face.
