Katai Piper Pregnant With Girl Baby; Worried For Her Urban Daughter
TV presenter and former
model Katie Piper, who suffered an acid attack in 2008, says her life has
changed in a wonderful way since she discovered she is pregnant. She has also
revealed she is expecting a baby girl. The 30-year-old announced her pregnancy in
September. "This is the start of a whole new life. The other night I was
at a charity ball and everyone I met wanted to talk to me about the baby, not
about my burns and recovery," reports dailymail.co.uk. Piper was badly
burnt in an acid attack organised by an ex-boyfriend. She now runs her own
charitable foundation helping people with burns and scars
She and her boyfriend James are worried about
having a girl. "Of course, your main concern is that your baby is forming
healthily and everything is progressing as it should. But because of everything
that has happened to me, I had this slight feeling of panic, thinking 'Oh gosh
but it is such a dangerous world for a woman'," she said. Katie went blind
in one eye in 2008 after an ex-boyfriend arranged for an accomplice to throw
sulphuric acid in her face. They are both serving life sentences in prison.The
former model once paid tribute to her boyfriend and said he had read the book
she had written about her ordeal. "I said I would rather he read it than
me have to tell him everything. Then if he had any questions he could ask me.
He was angry and upset (after he read it). By then we had fallen in love."
