Katie Piper stuns in a green bikini during Spanish summer break as she reveals her ‘secret’ to staying safe in the sun was inspired by a Loose Women co-star
Katie Piper looked stunning in a green bikini in Spain on Tuesday.
The 40-year-old Loose Women panellist enjoyed a sunny holiday last week and posted a video on social media wearing the tiny two-piece dress
Katie suffered serious injuries and blindness in one eye after being attacked with acid by her ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch and accomplice Stefan Sylvestre in 2008.
In her new post, she explains how she, as a burn survivor, takes care of her skin in the intense heat.
She said: ‘I’ve been on holiday all week and it was factor 30 on my body. 50 on my face. The life of a burns survivor.

‘Everything that isn’t burnt is a nice golden brown. I’m going to apply a good dose of self-tanner so the curtains match the sleeves!’
The Katie Piper’s Breakfast Show presenter also donned a visor on her face and said she was inspired to do so by her Loose Women colleague Olivia Attwood.
She said, ‘So this is my secret, although I want to say it’s not my secret, I stole this from Olivia Attwood. I saw this on her Stories.
‘Look at that. Full-fledged beekeeper, factor 50. So, underneath I have my La Roche Posay Invisible Fluid, SPF50.
‘And then I saw Olivia wearing this on holiday, so I bought one. And it stayed on my face all week in Spain!’
The TV star has undergone a number of surgeries since her horrific attack and in December 2023 she revealed that her eye had to be stitched shut so it could heal.
Katie told her Loose Women colleagues: ‘I had a planned procedure called tarsorrhaphy, which is a semi-permanent closure of the eye. So it’s an operation that’s done in the operating theatre and your eye is stitched up, either partially or completely.
The TV star was clearly impressed with the handy accessory, as she revealed she didn’t actually take it off during her entire trip

“Some people may be familiar with it, you normally see it when someone has some kind of corneal disease. And by closing the eye, you create the optimal environment for it to heal.”
‘So I’ve had quite a few problems with my eye over the last year and a half. I don’t want to talk about it because there’s always someone worse off!’
Katie’s ex Daniel was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 16 years for the violence he inflicted on Katie when she was just 24 years old.
She made a documentary called Katie: My Beautiful Face, which chronicled her life after the attack. In 2011, she published her memoirs and founded the Katie Piper Foundation to help other burns survivors.
