Who is Katie Piper and what does she do?
SHE'S been hailed the new “queen of weekend telly” after landing a huge deal to become the face of Saturday and Sunday mornings on ITV.can still remember the pain of being rejected by agents who told her that she had no future in television.
It wasn’t just agents who cast her aside. Katie also experienced the cold shoulder from production companies, who thought viewers would find it difficult to relate to someone so visibly scarred. Given everything she’s achieved through sheer perseverance and extraordinary strength of character, it’s hardly surprising that giving up her dream of being a TV presenter was never an option.
“It was a huge thing that happened to me, and it showed me this amazing part of myself I hadn’t known before."You can still be a CEO, you can still feel sexy, you can still wear revealing clothes, you can still date and you can still turn guys down! You don’t have to be apologetic and just fit in and get by.”
“Back when I was burned, you wouldn’t see a burned or disabled person on TV talking about current affairs, “We were friends, then I went away travelling and working in America and we became phone friends,” says Katie.
