Piper will ‘work extra hard’ at Strictly
Katie Piper has said she is planning to work extra hard at the Strictly Come Dancing training sessions to overcome health issues that could make the competition harder for her.
The presenter, who has signed up for the new series of the BBC show, suffered lifethreatening injuries in an acid attack ten years ago.
She told the Mirror newspaper: “The respiratory problem makes training harder.
“I tried to practise steps and can’t really move my head back because of a band of scar tissue that starts at the top of my head.
Piper, 34, was left partial-
ly blind after the attack in 2008. “It will be hard with my eyesight,” she said.
However, Piper is used to facing huge challenges, after learning to walk without a walking frame.
The star joked the biggest challenge could be lack of rhythm. “I can’t even clap in time,” she said.
