Full Bio
Katie Piper is an English philanthropist, TV presenter, and former model, who is best known for surviving a vicious acid attack. Born and raised in Andover, England, she aspired to become a beautician. However, she began receiving modeling offers in her later teenage years. She started her modeling career in the mid-2000s and was beginning to gain success, before a tragedy struck her. In 2008, she became the victim of a dangerous acid attack that was planned by her ex-boyfriend and executed by one of his friends. The attack took away her eyesight and ruined most of her face. She underwent many facial reconstruction surgeries. She later decided to let go of anonymity and featured in a documentary film titled ‘Katie: My Beautiful Face.’ The documentary was a roaring success, both commercially and critically. It was also nominated for a ‘BAFTA’ award. Katie became part of several TV projects such as ‘20/20,’ ‘Katie: My Beautiful Friends,’ ‘Bodyshockers,’ and ‘Katie: The Science of Seeing Again.’ Katie also wrote several books, such as ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Things Get Better.’ She also appeared in many talk shows.
