Television presenter and former model Katie Piper is in Cleethorpes today with a Channel 4 film crew as they film the latest series of her show.
Katie and the crew have been filming up and down Cleethorpes High Street all day filming Bodyshockers which shows Katie meeting people planning major body modifications and people who've already had them and regret it.
Katie aims to make them think again about what they are doing to they're bodies.
Katie received much media attention after her an attack with sulphuric acid organised by an ex-boyfriend left Piper blind in one eye and burned much of the skin on her face.
Katie was treated in London where surgeons removed all the skin from her face before rebuilding it with a skin substitute and then a skin graft. The procedure was the first of its kind to be completed in a single operation. Katie also underwent Ex-vivo limbal stem cell allograft transplantation (EVSCALT) at the Centre of Sight to restore her vision.
In 2009 she appeared in a Cutting Edge documentary entitled, Katie: My Beautiful Face in order to increase awareness about burn victims, the documentary was critically acclaimed and has now been repeated on several occasions, made available for online on-demand access and sold internationally.
More recently, Piper has appeared in follow-up series for Channel 4, released a best-selling autobiography, and had a regular column in weekly magazines; however, she primarily works for her charitable organisation the Katie Piper Foundation.
In October 2013 she announced that she was pregnant. Piper gave birth to her first child, Belle Elizabeth, in March, 2014.
