Katie Piper is a bit of a legend really – the television presenter proved once again what a strong person she is as she partied at V Festival this weekend just two days after having surgery on her nose.
The former model suffered an attack arranged by her ex-boyfriend Danny Lynch, who is now serving a life sentence in prison, in which sulphuric acid was thrown in her face in 2008, leaving her blind in one eye.
At the time, she was rushed to London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital where surgeons removed all the skin from her face before rebuilding it with the help of a skin substitute and a skin graft.
Last week, Katie shared a picture of her nostrils with fans on Instagram after she had an operation to help her improve her breathing and just two days later she was enjoying the sunshine in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge at V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex.
The star told heatworld she's feeling “much better” and is “loving being home”.
Sharing a picture of herself in a pink lace top and denim cut-off shorts, she wrote on Instagram: “Chilling in #VMLouderLounge #Vfest.”
Just two days before she posted a photo of her nostrils after the operation, writing: “I had surgery today on the inside of my nose to try help me to start breathing through my nose.
“First photo was taken last night and my after pic just now in my hospital bed by my official escort/boyfriend!
“I’ve had a skin graft taken from my bum cheek and grafted inside both of my nostrils to hopefully support and open my airwaves.
“Looking forward to taking some deep breaths again soon – Boyf says I sound like a baby lion when I try now so early days at the moment!!”
At least she looks like she's doing much better now...
