Loose Women star Katie Piper has revealed she’s been rushed to hospital after experiencing severe pain in her eye.
Katie, 42, has battled with her eye health for years, following a horrific acid attack plotted by her ex-boyfriend.
Last year, she had a prosthetic eye fitted to help alleviate her pain. Now, she’s shared that husband Richard rushed her to hospital this week after she experienced “severe pain” in her eye. When she ignored a similar pain before, Katie said it led to her retina detaching.

The Loose Women favourite shared a video of herself being driven to hospital by husband Rich. She explained that she had been due to take part in a course that she’d signed up for, but instead was spending the day in hospital.
Updating her fans, Katie said: “My day has not turned out how I expected. I’m supposed to be on a course today actually. I’ve been training for something for like over a year now. But I had to cancel that course because I’m having severe pain in my eye and I’ve got to go into my eye hospital.”
She continued: “Normally I just live with pain because I’ve got a weird pain threshold and I ignore it. But last time I did that my retinas actually detached. So learning from my mistakes, unfortunately I’ve had to give up my place on the course for today.”
Katie also shared that she couldn’t give more details about her course, as it involved “vulnerable” people.
