Katie Piper looked amazing on Tuesday in a green bikini in Spain.
The Loose Women panellist, 40, has been enjoying a holiday in the sun over the past week and took to social media to post a video of herself wearing the skimpy two-piece.
Katie suffered serious injuries and blindness in one eye after being attacked with acid by her ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch and his accomplice Stefan Sylvestre in 2008.
In her new post, she explained how, as a burn survivor, she manages to take care of her skin in the intense heat.
She said: ‘I’ve been on holiday all week and I’ve had SPF 30 on my body and SPF 50 on my face. The life of a burns survivor.

‘Everything that isn’t burnt is a nice golden brown. I’m going to have to use a really strong fake tan to make the curtains match the cuffs!’
Breakfast Show host Katie Piper also donned a visor over her face and revealed she was inspired to do so by her Loose Women co-star Olivia Attwood.
She said: ‘Here’s my secret, although I want to say it’s not my secret, I stole it from Olivia Attwood. I saw it on her Stories.
‘Take a look. I’m a true beekeeper, SPF 50. Underneath I have my La Roche Posay Invisible Fluid, SPF 50.
“And then I saw Olivia wearing this necklace on holiday, so I bought it. And I haven’t taken it off my face the whole week I’ve been in Spain!”
The TV star has endured several operations since her horrific attack and in December 2023, she revealed that she was forced to have her eye stitched up to allow it to heal.
Katie told her fellow Loose Women panellists: ‘I had been scheduled for a procedure called tarsorrhaphy, which is a semi-permanent closure of the eye. It’s an operation done in theatre where the eye is either completely or partially sewn shut.
The TV star was clearly impressed with the practical accessory, as she noted that she hadn’t actually taken it off on her entire trip.

Katie joined the Loose Women panel in July 2021 and Olivia began appearing on the show last year.

“Maybe some people are familiar with it, but we usually see it when someone has some kind of corneal disease. And closing the eye provides the optimal environment for it to heal.”
“I’ve had quite a few eye problems over the last year and a half. I don’t like to talk about it, because there’s always someone who’s worse off!”
Katie’s ex Daniel was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 16 years for the violence inflicted on Katie when she was just 24.
She filmed a documentary titled Katie: My Beautiful Face that chronicled her life after the attack, published her memoir in 2011 and also launched the Katie Piper Foundation to help other burn survivors.
