Katie Piper is a best-selling international author, inspirational speaker, TV presenter, and charity campaigner. She gained widespread recognition for her film ‘Katie: My Beautiful Face’ on Channel 4, which attracted over 3.5 million viewers and was nominated for Best Single Documentary at the BAFTA Television Awards in 2010.
Over a decade ago, she founded The Katie Piper Foundation to support individuals with burns and scars in reconnecting with their lives and communities. Simon Cowell became the charity's patron and remains actively involved. The foundation aims for a world where scars do not hinder a person's function, social inclusion, or well-being. In the summer of 2019, they opened a rehabilitation centre in the UK, providing burns survivors with the treatments Katie received in France.
In addition to her charity work and writing, Katie is a regular panellist on ITV1’s Loose Women and presents on BBC Radio 2, filling in for the Early Morning Breakfast Show and the Michael Ball Show on Sundays. Her television credits include ‘Never Seen a Doctor’ on Channel 4, where she helped people overcome medical fears, ‘The Death of Aimee Spencer’ on ITV1, and ‘Famous and Fighting Crime’ on Channel 4, where she trained as a police special. She also hosted ‘Katie Piper’s Face to Face,’ inviting women with facial conditions for makeovers, and led three series of ‘Body Shockers’ on Channel 4, meeting individuals considering major body modifications.
Katie frequently speaks at public events, sharing her story at occasions like WE Day, Women’s Health Live, the Cosmopolitan Self Made Summit, and corporate events for Google, Facebook, and the NHS.
She has collaborated with various brands to create her own product range, including a fragrance and bed linen collection. Additionally, she represents beauty brands such as Pantene, L’Oreal, and La Roche Posay.
Katie has authored several bestsellers, including two autobiographies, ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Beautiful Ever After,’ an affirmations book titled ‘Start Your Day With Katie,’ a self-help book called ‘Things Get Better,’ and ‘Confidence: The Secret’ with an accompanying journal, along with a book co-written with her mother, ‘Things I’d Tell My Child.’
