Two years ago, Katie Piper had her whole life ahead of her - she was 24 years old, working as a model and TV presenter, and enjoying life as a young woman in London.

But then something happened which was to change her life forever.

A man called Danny Lynch, whom she met on a social networking internet site, sent an accomplice to throw acid in her face.

Katie was left fighting for her life and suffering from horrific, disfiguring burns to her face, chest and arms.

In the course of the last 24 months, Katie has had to endure more than 30 operations.

She still bears the scars of the attack and has to wear a transparent perspex face mask 23 hours a day.

Earlier this year the men who attacked her were sentenced to long prison terms by the British courts.

And now Katie has made a TV documentary about the attack and the revolutionary treatment that has re-built her face.

  • @cymrutube3

    Katie??

  • @Other299

    well said.

  • I'm sorry but if you go and meet some stranger (a black one at that) on Facebook and then meet physically then you really are taking a massive risk. While it is a terrible, horrific thing to happen and I feel deeply sorry for her, I can't help but wonder whether she had it coming. It was a very silly thing to do. She could have had anyone she wanted yet went for some random weirdo on Facebook who had previously been jailed for throwing boiling water into a fella's face.

  • Very inspirational.....keep going!

  • @cymrutube3 go be quiet

  • She has learned the most beautiful lesson of them all.. Vanity is an illusion. The heart is the rule of your soul..

  • @cymrutube3 what a retarded comment

  • She is still beautiful

  • i face the day to day challenges that life brings so feebily compared to this woman. what an inspiration she is
