Katie Piper has revealed to fans that a hospital dash resulted in her undergoing an emergency operation. The Loose Women star said her husband, Richard James Sutton, noticed a black spot in her eye over the weekend and said it become "extremely painful".
Sharing photos of herself with a bandaged eye, Katie, 38, wrote on Instagram on Tuesday (August 16): "Emergency Operation for me! 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."
She said that she is "used to being in some level of discomfort" and so headed off to work as usual. Things however, changed and "by Sunday night I felt nausea and in extreme pain," Katie said and she got in touch with her eye specialist who confirmed the black circle was a hole her eye and that the eye had perforated.
