Katie Piper is back on TV days after being rushed to hospital for an emergency eye operation
The presenter, 38, said on Instagram she would be back on ‘Katie Piper’s Breakfast Show’ on ITV on Sunday morning (21.08.22) after she suffered agony.
The acid attack survivor was last week taken to hospital for a procedure on her right eye after her husband Richard Sutton noticed a concerning black spot.
Her discoloured area became “extremely painful” for the host, leaving her tormented with pain within hours.
She announced she was coming back to TV after the operation by telling fans to “set their alarms” ahead of her latest weekend show.
Katie added: “It’s about that time – grab your slice of toast and your cup of coffee, 8.30am on ITV for the breakfast show.
“Guess who's joining us on the sofa today – it’s only DJ Fat Tony, and another lovely guy, the icon that is Ollie Locke. See you there, guys!
“Set your alarms and I’ll see you at 8:30am tomorrow morning on ITV.”
It comes after Katie posted an image of her bandaged left eye following the operation.
She said: “On Saturday my husband noticed a small black circle in my blind eye, I was excited thinking I had a pupil again.
“But by Sunday my left eye was extremely painful and couldn’t tolerate light, so I patched it up and put it down to old injuries. I’m used to being in some level of discomfort and I went to work.
“By Sunday night I felt nausea and in extreme pain. I got in touch with my eye specialist and unfortunately he confirmed the black circle was a hole in my eye and the eye had perforated.
“This had always been a fear that it would happen. Yesterday, my specialist sourced tissue for me and operated on me.
“There maybe some evil people in this world but there are also some pretty incredible people doing amazing things for people on a daily basis.”
Mum-of-two Katie was 24 when she was attacked with acid by an accomplice of her ex-boyfriend, causing major damage to her face and blindness in one eye before she underwent pioneering surgery to restore her face and vision.
