Katie Piper OBE

Katie Piper is a best-selling international author, inspirational speaker, TV presenter and charity campaigner. Katie made the decision to share her story in a remarkable film for the Cutting Edge strand on Channel 4 called Katie: My Beautiful Face, which was watched by over 3.5 million viewers and nominated for Best Single Documentary at the BAFTA Television Awards in 2010.

In 2009 she set up a charity, The Katie Piper Foundation, to help people with burns and scars to reconnect with their lives and their communities. Simon Cowell supported Katie by becoming the patron and remains actively involved to date. The charity's vision is a world where scars do not limit a person's function, social inclusion or sense of well-being. In the summer of 2019 they achieved their goal to open a rehabilitation centre in the UK to offer other burns survivors the treatments that Katie received in France.

In addition to her charity and writing commitments, Katie is also a TV presenter. In September 2020, Katie joined the presenting team for the BBC1’s much-loved Songs of Praise. She is also a regular contributor and guest presenter on ITV 1’s Lorraine show. Prior to this Katie recently hosted Never Seen a Doctor, on W where she helped people overcome their fears around medical procedures and guided them on their journey back to good health. She joined the Crime and Punishment strand on ITV1 with a documentary called The Death of Aimee Spencer.

Katie also featured in Channel 4’s Famous and Fighting Crime where she trained as a special in the police force. Her other credits include Katie Piper’s Face to Face, where she invited women with facial conditions to London’s Harvey Nichols for makeovers with makeup artists who shared the same facial condition and three series of Body Shockers where she met people planning major body modifications and introduced them to someone who had already had the modification done and regretted it. In 2018, she also graced the dance floor in BBC1’s hit show, Strictly Come Dancing.

Katie has a weekly podcast called Katie Pipers Extraordinary People which has been sponsored by brands as diverse as The Economist, Twinings, Meatless Farms and Bose with guests ranging from Zoella to George Shelley. And she has talked all over the world about her journey and how to be happy and confident to brands like Google, Facebook and at events like WE day.

Katie has partnered with a number of brands to create her own range of products and she was very excited to launch her own fragrance in 2020. She is also the face of a number of beauty brands including Pantene and L’Oreal.

Katie has also written a number of bestselling books, two autobiographies, Beautiful, and Beautiful Ever After, an affirmations book called Start Your Day With Katie, a self-help booked called Things Get Better, and then Confidence: The Secret, with an accompanying journal and most recently a book written with her Mum Things I’d Tell My Child.

Successful organisations and successful people are often the ones who inspire positive thinking and “can do” attitudes. Katie Piper is a shining example of positivity in action, when faced with huge challenges and the kind of adversity most of us find hard to contemplate, she stayed positive.

Katie Piper talks about an experience that would break most people; she shed many tears but she also managed to laugh. Listen to a story of a young woman who appeared to have it all but ironically when it was taken away from her in seconds in a frenzied acid attack, again she discovered a fascinating inner strength and a life more fulfilled and happier than she ever could of hoped for.

Inspiring yes, but also intriguing and fascinating, one woman's loss of identity as she knew it and fighting for the right to still smile! Katie tells her story of physical and emotional recovery from her appalling experiences.

She movingly and inspiringly talks about the support she received, her own personal determination, and the work of health care professionals and support of those close to her.
