“Even if you don't care about other people's feelings how about remembering none of us are immune and it could be you one day with those injuries no Halloween make up needed,” she wrote.

Piper, a former model, was attacked by Stefan Sylvestre. He had been hired by Piper’s ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch, who is currently serving two life sentences in prison. Sylvestre, who was also jailed, is serving a minimum 12-year sentence.

The attack left Piper with horrific burns and lifelong scarring requiring more than 300 surgical procedures. She set up a charitable organisation, the Katie Piper Foundation, to help burns victims and people suffering from disfiguring injuries.
