Katie Piper

Katie and her boyfriend, Richard James Sutton, had their daughter, Belle Elizabeth, in 2014. The couple got married in November 2015. Katie gave birth to another daughter in December 2017.

Katie Piper was born Kate Elizabeth Piper, on October 12, 1983, in Andover, UK, to David and Diane Piper. Her father worked as a barber, while her mother was a school teacher. Katie was the second child in the family and had an elder brother and a younger sister.

As a child, Katie was a tomboy and the loudest of all her siblings. She was extremely mischievous and threw tantrums. All the three kids were enrolled in karate and ballet classes. Katie attended ‘Portway Junior School’ and ‘Harrow Way School.’ *She aspired to enter the beauty industry, following in her father’s footsteps. Soon after graduating from high school, she started training to become a beautician.

Katie Piper had become increasingly attracted toward the idea of modeling while she trained to become a beautician. She moved to London to start her modeling career and started getting steady work.

She received offers for several glamor shoots and promotional shoots during the early phase of her career. By the mid-2000s, she was already appearing in national newspapers.

She also participated in competitive beauty pageants. In 2006, she became the second runner-up in the ‘Miss Winchester’ pageant. The same year, she also appeared in Maxim’s ‘Little Black Book’ contest.

She also participated in promotional activities for live events. She carried out promotional and publicity duties at a number of live events and also worked as the ring-card girl at mixed martial arts (MMA) events. She soon became a known name in the English MMA industry.

Katie also worked as a digital TV presenter in a number of web series. She was also seen in shopping and live-chat platforms. As her career started gaining a significant pace, she moved permanently from her Hampshire house to North London.

In early 2008, Katie met a man named Daniel Lynch on ‘Facebook.’ They started talking and bonded over their mutual love for martial arts. They met for the first time a few days later, in Berkshire, and started dating soon after. Daniel came across as a good guy and Katie was initially quite content with the relationship.

However, Daniel was a psychopath and started showing his true nature soon. One evening, the couple booked a hotel in Bayswater to spend the night after dinner. That night, Daniel raped Katie and beat her up severely, stabbing her arms repeatedly. He also threatened to kill her if she broke up with him.

Katie was afraid and did not break up with him, fearing for her life. She got her wounds treated at the ‘Royal Free Hospital.’ She refrained from filing a police complaint against Daniel.

Following the incident, Daniel called and messaged Katie several times, apologizing for his behavior. On March 31, 2008, Daniel asked Katie to visit a nearby internet cafe to read an email that he had sent her. He had already planned an attack with his friend Stefan Sylvestre.

Daniel gave Katie’s details to Stefan. Stefan approached Katie in a hoodie, but she did not know what his intentions were. He suddenly threw sulphuric acid at her face, burning it badly. He then fled the scene. However, CCTV cameras had recorded his act, and both Daniel and Stefan were apprehended shortly after.
