Ms. Piper, who sustained burns that changed her life in 2008 during an acid attack, revealed on Saturday morning that TV host Charlotte Hawkins would be covering for her at the last minute.
After recovering, the former model turned campaigner stated that “everything is well” and that she should return to hosting Katie Piper’s Breakfast Show on ITV the following weekend.
She hosts current debates and celebrity guests on her hour-long weekend morning show.
She announced on Instagram: “Unfortunately, I had to have an unplanned medical surgery this weekend, therefore I won’t be on my breakfast program.
All is okay, and I expect to be back on the hot seat next weekend after getting some rest,” stated Piper, who also participates in the chat show Loose Women as a panelist.
She expressed her gratitude to Good Morning Britain host Hawkins for “stepping in last minute” and said, “I’ll be back soon” in the post.
Hawkins was one of many people wishing Piper a quick recovery; on social media, she responded, “Sending lots of love to you.”
“Take care wonderful lady,” urged broadcaster Carol Vorderman. First things first: TV is just TV. Huge respect and love are being sent xxx.”
