Katie Piper slams troll taunting her as 'ugly and repulsive' after 400th operation

Katie Piper fired back a troll who branded her "ugly and repulsive".

The mum, 37, exposed the vicious trolling she had suffered after undergoing nearly her 400th operation since the horrific acid attack in 2008.

In retaliation, the TV presenter urged "more work needs to be done" to clamp down on bullying online.

The troll wrote: "You're the most repulsive and ugliest thing I've ever seen why even bother with make-up."

Katie hit back in a defiant message to her 980k followers which lifted the lid on the tormenting trolling.

She wrote: "I've posted this message from my inbox to show you all the work and conversations around diversity and inclusion, the everyday reality for anyone who is in the minority category...

"The everyday existence is very different to the positivity campaigns. More work needs to be done."

Last week, Katie shared an update from her hospital bed following her latest operation on her eye.

Complications meant she had to have surgery on her right eye recently; the star has been blind in her left eye since the attack.

Her representative shared with Mail Online : “Katie is nearing her 400th operation now but she is being as brave as ever whilst in hospital for her current procedure.

“The eye is healing well, and Katie remains positive about the future and cannot thank the incredible eye surgeon and team enough for their work for their ongoing restoration and preservation of her sight in her 'good eye'.

"The operation was a skin graft to her upper eyelid using skin from her left arm. She is currently resting to minimise the threat of infection and to ensure a quick recovery. Katie thanks everyone for their care and warm wishes."

She sustained life changing injuries after her ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch organised a sulfuric acid attack which Stefan Sylvestre carried out.

Lynch was thrown behind bars for life.

Sylvestre was released in June earlier this year after being re-admitted to prison.

Katie has happily moved on with her life and married to Richard Sutton.

The couple raise their two daughters Penelope and Belle at their home.
