Katie Piper posts selfie from hospital bed after undergoing 400th operation

Katie Piper has posted a health update on her Instagram after undergoing eye surgery.

The TV presenter took to her social media account to share a number of photos from her hospital bed on Friday.

Following the operation, which came as a result of a sulphuric acid attack in 2008, Katie’s spokesperson ensured her concerned fans that the 37-year-old is feeling strong and well despite the circumstances.

Speaking to  Mail Online, the rep explained the proud mum is nearing her 400th operation since the horrific acid attack which occurred 12 years ago.

“Katie is nearing her 400th operation now but she is being as brave as ever whilst in hospital for her current procedure.

“The eye is healing well, and Katie remains positive about the future and cannot thank the incredible eye surgeon and team enough for their work for their ongoing restoration and preservation of her sight in her 'good eye'."

They continued: "The operation was a skin graft to her upper eyelid using skin from her left arm.

"She is currently resting to minimise the threat of infection and to ensure a quick recovery. Katie thanks everyone for their care and warm wishes."

Taking to her Instagram to share a snap from her hospital bed, she penned: “Thanks for all your messages.

“I’m in hospital recovering from my recent eye operation, everything went well."
