Katie hits at trolls & calls for changes

- BY JANINE YAQOOB

KATIE Piper yesterday shamed web trolls who called her “repulsive”.

The acid attack survivor was subjected to the abuse while recovering from an eye operation.

Posting a clip of the shocking comment – “You’re the most repulsive and ugliest thing I’ve ever seen, why even bother with make-up” – Katie, 37, called for a change.

Her plea echoed the Be Kind campaign launched after the suicide of fellow TV star Caroline Flack.

Katie said: “The everyday existence is very different to the positivity campaigns. More work needs to be done.”

Her eye surgery was the latest in more than 400 procedures she has endured since she was attacked in 2008.
