Katie Piper has emergency surgery after husband spots black circle in her eye

Katie Piper had to undergo urgent surgery after rushing to hospital when her husband spotted a black circle in her eye. Katie, a TV presenter and panelist on Loose Women, said her left eye became "extremely painful" and wasn't able to tolerate light.

She said she was left feeling nauseous and in extreme pain, meaning she had to be rushed in to hospital. The former model was badly injured in an acid attack arranged by her ex-boyfriend in March 2008.

Sharing photos of herself with a bandaged eye, Katie, 38, wrote on Instagram: "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.
