What Happened To Katie Piper?

In February 2008, Katie started a relationship with Daniel Lynch after the pair began messaging on Facebook.

The relationship soon turned into a nightmare. Lynch raped Katie before ordering a friend to carry out a sickening acid attack. He asked Katie to go to a nearby internet cafe, but it was a trap.

Lynch arranged for an accomplice, Stefan Sylvestre to wait outside her flat and throw sulphuric acid into her face.

Katie was rushed to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for emergency treatment after the attack, as the acid had severely burned her face and blinded her left eye.

Katie was put in an induced coma for 12 days and had to undergo a skin graft procedure.
