Loose Women's Katie Piper back on show after 'painful' health ordeal and emergency surgery

Katie Piper explained how she was left in 'intolerable' pain as she returned to Loose Women for the first time since undergoing emergency surgery on her eye.

Former Strictly contestant Katie has been a member of the panel of the ITV show for a number of years now but, while seen on pre-recorded episodes of Loose Women which have aired over the last few weeks, she has been absent from the studio, having taken time to recover from the surgery.

Katie first broke news of her health issue on social media, taking to Twitter to post: "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.
