Katie Piper looked incredible as she wore a green bikini in Spain on Tuesday.
The Loose Women panellist, 40, has been enjoying a holiday in the sun for the past week and took to social media to post a video wearing the tiny two-piece
Katie suffered major injuries and blindness in one eye after she was attacked with acid by her ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch and accomplice Stefan Sylvestre in 2008.
In her new post, she explained how, as a burns survivor, she manages to look after her skin in the intense heat.
She said: ‘I’ve been in holiday all week, and it’s been factor 30 on the body. 50 on the face. Life of a burns survivor.

‘Everywhere that is not burned is a nice golden brown, I’m gonna have to do some serious fake tan so the curtains match the cuffs!’
The Katie Piper’s Breakfast Show host also donned a visor across her face, and revealed that she was inspired to do so by her Loose Women co-star Olivia Attwood.
She said: ‘So here’s my secret, although I wanna say it’s not my secret, I stole this off Olivia Attwood. I saw this on her Stories.
‘Check it out. Full-blown beekeeper, factor 50. So, underneath, I’ve got my La Roche Posay Invisible Fluid, SPF50.
‘And then I saw Olivia wear this on holiday, so I bought one. And it hasn’t left my face for the whole week in Spain!’
The TV star has endured a number of operations since her horrific attack and in December 2023, she revealed that she was forced to have her eye sewn shut to allow it to heal.
Katie told her fellow Loose Women panellists: ‘I had a planned procedure called a tarsorrhaphy, which is a semi-permanent closure of the eye. So, it’s an operation done in theatre and your eye is sort of fully or partially stitched up.
The TV star was clearly impressed with the handy accessory as she noted she hadn’t really taken it off her entire trip

‘Some people might be familiar with it, you normally see it when somebody has some kind of disease of the cornea. And closing the eye gives it the optimum environment for it to heal.’
‘So, I’ve had quite a lot of problems with my eye in the last year-and-a-half. I don’t like to go on about it, because there’s always somebody worse off!’
Katie’s ex Daniel was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 16 years for the violence inflicted on Katie when she was just 24 years old.
She filmed a documentary titled Katie: My Beautiful Face which charted her life after the attack, released her memoir in 2011 and also started up the Katie Piper Foundation to help other burns survivors.
