Loose Women star Katie Piper gave an update on her recent eye surgery after returning to the show. She was back on the ITV lunchtime show on Thursday (September 1) for the first time since undergoing emergency surgery.
Last month, the 38-year-old revealed to fans that a hospital dash resulted in her undergoing an emergency operation after her husband, Richard James Sutton, noticed a black spot in her eye which she said had become "extremely painful". Katie has now shared the painful details with her fellow Loose Women panellists and viewers as she made her return to the show.
She recalled the three weeks of eye pain she suffered before realising something was wrong as she admitted she is used to a degree of eye pain after her horrific acid attack in 2008, which left her face severely burned and blind in one eye. Referring to the spot her husband noticed in her eye, Katie said: "Then it got bigger and the pain just got intolerable. Very consuming, where I could feel it in my skull and you can’t tolerate light."
