Katie Piper recently shared with her fans the unfortunate news of her health struggles that caused her to miss her breakfast show. The 40-year-old Loose Women star had to pull out of her ITV program for two weeks in a row due to an unexpected medical procedure. She later revealed that she had a bad reaction to the procedure, leaving her feeling unwell.
But Katie has now returned to work with a positive attitude after being discharged from the hospital. In a video shared on Instagram, she expressed her gratitude for all the support and well wishes she received during her time of recovery. She also acknowledged that many of her followers have also faced their own struggles with illness, disease, or traumatic experiences that can sometimes hold them back.
Katie explained that despite her determination to not let her past define her, sometimes medical issues can temporarily set her back. She was particularly disappointed to have missed her breakfast show, as she hates letting people down or not showing up for work. She revealed that she was physically unable to record the show due to complications from an eye infection.
The TV star went on to explain that she had been having problems with her retina, which was a new issue for her as she had previously dealt with cornea problems. Unfortunately, she experienced further complications and an infection that required her to take a break from work. But she assured her fans that she is now fully recovered and feeling more like her old self.
Katie also shared that she has learned to be more patient with herself and to appreciate the little things in life. She never takes anything for granted, as she knows they can turn out to be the most important things. While she did not go into detail about the procedure, she had previously undergone eye surgery in December to preserve her eye and prevent further damage.
The procedure, known as tarsorrhaphy, involved stitching up her eye partially or fully in order to protect it. Katie had opened up about her struggles with her eye on Loose Women in December, explaining that it had been quite painful and uncomfortable for her. She was relieved to have it stitched up and was looking forward to the day when it would be opened again.
Katie's struggles with her eye are a result of a horrific acid attack that she suffered in 2008, which left her with blindness in one eye and other life-changing injuries. Despite her challenges, she has continued to thrive and is now in her second season of hosting her own talk show on ITV, "Katie Piper's Breakfast Show."
