Katie Piper accused of being 'addicted to Botox'
'Loose Women' star Katie Piper was accused of being "addicted to Botox" as she filmed her new U series in 'Locked Up In Louisiana', 17 years on from a horrific acid attack that left her with life-changing injuries.
Katie Piper has been accused of being "addicted to Botox".
The 41-year-old presenter was subjected to an acid attack orchestrated by her ex-boyfriend in 2008 and has undergone numerous bouts of reconstructive surgery since, but as she filmed 'Locked Up In Louisiana' for U, she visited a New Orleans prison and received abuse from some of the inmates who were unaware of her past.
She told Radio Times: "Some of them shouted stuff like, ‘Hey lady, are you addicted to Botox?’ or ‘Slow down on the plastic surgery.
"They didn’t know what had happened to me."
The 'Loose Women' star - who previously fronted 'Katie Piper's Jailhouse Mums' - insisted that anyone can be "one bad day away" from a prison sentence and no one has any idea what is going to happen in life.
She said: "We’re all one bad day away from being locked up. You don’t know what’s going to happen to you in life and who’s going to harm you – and how you’re going to react when somebody harms you."
However, Katie recalled receiving "really horrible abuse" from some of the prisoners who she met during the production of the series and found it all to be "so cruel" at the time.
She told the Mail on Sunday: "I got some really horrible abuse, it was awful. I was told 'You look like a monster' by someone one night. It's so cruel. Then someone else said, 'Thank goodness for make-up!"
