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 commitments, Katie hosts her own ITV1 show, The Katie Piper Breakfast Show, which is in its third series, is a regular panellist on ITV1’s Loose Women, and is one of the key faces of the W Channel with her hit series Katie Piper’s Jailhouse Mums. She is also an experienced radio presenter having covered the Early Morning Breakfast Show and the Michael Ball Show on BBC Radio 2. Her other TV credits include Never Seen a Doctor for C4 where she helped people overcome their fears around medical procedures and guided them on their journey back to good health, The Death of Aimee Spencer for the Crime and Punishment strand on ITV1, C4’s Famous and Fighting Crime where she trained as a special in the police force and 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. She also fronted three series of Body Shockers for C4 where she met people planning major body modifications and introduced them to someone who had already had the modification done and regretted it.

Katie is regularly engaged as a public speaker and has told her inspiring story to audiences at public shows such as WE Day, Women’s Health Live and the Cosmopolitan Self Made Summit as well as for corporate events at Google, Facebook and The NHS.

Katie has also written a number of bestselling adult and children’s books and has now launched her own imprint The UnSeen, a brand new literary imprint that’s putting those who were previously unheard at the forefront. Katie’s most recent affirmation book, A Little Bit of Hope was published last year and her first children’s book All You Need was released in 2023 with the second book launching later this year. She is also currently working on the screen adaption of her first book which is due to start filming in 2025.

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.

Motivational Speaking
How did Katie stay positive through such difficult times? Her moving and inspirational motivational speaking sessions explore the tough times she has faced on her journey but will also highlight the methods that helped her up from rock bottom to where she is today.

Katie gives a truly inspiring, uplifting and motivating presentation which helps put into context some of the difficulties we all face from time-to-time both professionally and personally.

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.
