A BRIT who had 70 operations after sick attackers doused her in acid in Zanzibar says she now feels “confident” in her own scars.
Katie Gee was just 18 and walking with a friend in the city of Stone Town when two men on a motorbike threw acid at her in a horror attack.
The North Londoner, now 29, was volunteering at a school on the African island when she was targeted in August 2013.
The right side of her face, body and ear were “burnt to a crisp” as she had 70 procedures over the next three years to recover.
She was forced to wear a plastic face mask and a full body compression suit for 23 hours-a-day after the horrific attack.
Her right ear was so badly damaged it needed to be removed but she had a new one sculpted from tissue from one of her ribs.
Katie had an “uncomfortable” time with her new appearance in the first few years after the attack but has now found “confidence” with her scars.
The Brit, who has a background in real estate, said: “I remember going out for lunch and bumped into a friend’s sister and she didn’t recognise me.
“Now if someone wants to stares I will just stare back and make them feel very uncomfortable.
“I don’t have any shame anymore. I’m in a good place. I’m confident in my scars.”
Katie was going out for dinner with her friend when tragedy took place.
She said: “I was on the way and two men on a motorbike came past. They stopped for half a second.
“I was about to turn to say ‘what do they want?’ and as I was turning back they threw it.
“I tried to wipe my eyes. I tried to read the number plate.
“It started to burn straight away. I wasn’t sure at first if it was a really hot pot of coffee.
“I had heard of Katie Piper. I put two and two together.”
Katie hurried to a restaurant she had visited to before as she remembered that it had a shower, but was startled to see her face and body in the mirror.
She recalled: “It was a yellow, green colour. I was wearing baggy trousers, trainers and a t-shirt and hoodie.
“The acid was burning through the hoodie and burnt off the trousers.
“My ear got burnt off. They said it had burnt off like a crisp.”
Katie had 35 per cent burns and spent two-and-a-half months in the burns unit at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
She initially had lots of blood transfusions and donor skin placed on her body.
“They want all the burnt skin off you,” she explained.
Katie then spent the next three years in and out of hospital undergoing 70 operations, including 12-hour-long skin graft surgeries.
She found the year after the attack the hardest, saying: “The scars contract. That’s when they scars are really red and bumpy.
“I had the face mask to put on for most of the day.
She revealed that surgeons wanted to shave her head and use the skin from her scalp, but she begged to keep her hair as “that was the only part that feels nice.”
Katie added: “It helped me leave the house. It was hard for me – I was on my own for three years.”
After getting her eye lid re-built, the 29-year-old finally had her ear reconstructed in 2015 – using cartilage from her ribs and skin from her scalp.
She said: “I didn’t have an ear for over three years.
“[The reconstruction] It made me feel normal. I was looking more like myself.”
Katie went onto graduate from Nottingham University with a 2:1 in sociology and has spent the last five years in real estate but has recently left her job to figure out a new career path.
It took a while for Katie to find the confidence to date again but she is now in a relationship with Michael, also 29.
She admitted: “It took a while to realise people can still fancy me.
“He is really nice and really sweet. He’ll compliment me all the time – even if I’m looking hideous.”
The culprit – who “smiled” before dousing Katie – has never been caught over the attack in the main city Stone Town.
Katie said: “It is still something I think about every day.
“Every time I look in the mirror I can see it.
“It’s still something that affects me all the time.”
Katie has now started sharing her story on TikTok to help others with body confidence and sharing her tips – such as the best make up for scarred skin.
She said: “I want to be a body positive person who is confident in her scars.”
Katie gave her first TV interview since the horror ordeal in 2018, on ITV’s Loose Women.
What happened to Katie Piper?
BRIT TV presenter and former model Katie Piper was the victim of a brutal acid attack in 2008.
The attack was orchestrated by her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch, and carried out by an accomplice, Stefan Sylvestre.
Piper underwent numerous surgeries to treat her burns, including pioneering skin grafts and procedures to rebuild her face.
The physical and emotional recovery process was long and painful as Piper was fitted with a plastic mask that she had to wear for 23 hours a day for two years.
Both Daniel Lynch and Stefan Sylvestre were arrested and convicted.
Lynch received two life sentences for his role in organising the attack and for raping Piper, while Sylvestre was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of six years.
Despite the horrific attack, Piper has shown immense strength.
She founded the Katie Piper Foundation, which supports burns victims and raises awareness about the challenges they face.

New Dundalk owner John Temple warns club is on ‘life support’ despite 11th hour acquisition from Brian Ainscough
DUNDALK owner John Temple has warned that the Lilywhites are still on ‘life support’ despite his 11th-hour acquisition of the club.
They staved off the threat of liquidation on Tuesday when previous owner Brian Ainscough passed the reins of the cash-strapped club to Temple.
The barrister, who is from the Louth town, agreed to ‘underwrite the players’ current wages until the end of the season’ with a group of investors.
But he stressed: “We are far from out of the woods and the club is in serious financial difficulty.
“Undertaking the players’ wages is just one aspect.
“The creditors are banging down the door every hour and emails are coming in every second hour from people who want to appoint receivers and run to the courts and everything else. They are threatening all sorts.
“If I can keep it out of the Small Company Administrative Rescue Process (SCARP) and creditors can sit down and have a discussion with me and the other investors… the issues off the field don’t affect what’s going on on the field.
“I told the players that if I put the club into SCARP, they would have nothing to fight for.
“They have a number of big games, with Sligo to come on the weekend.
“Next week we have our first home game of my reign, which they didn’t think was going to happen, against Bohemians.
“It’s going to be a cracker of a match one way or the other.
“It’s going to bring the fans again to a club that they didn’t think they were going to have.
“It needs patience from everybody but it is also going to need support from everybody immediately.”
Temple’s emergence as new owner ensured that the club could finish the season, although questions linger surrounding the future.
Earlier this week, their accounts revealed Dundalk lost €1.2million last year alone.
Asked why he stepped in to save his hometown club for now, Temple replied: “Dundalk FC brings its own business to the town and it brings travelling fans to the club.
“That in itself creates an economy and it creates employment.
“There’s an awful lot that Dundalk has to give.
“They’ve had huge achievements over the last ten years and there are a lot of people in the town who rely on it, aspire to it and want to be part of it.
“If we were to say that that’s gone, that would be hugely unfortunate.
“It’s bleak. I didn’t put us in this situation. The fans didn’t put us in this situation and the players certainly didn’t put us in this situation. The reality is we are where we are.
“We’re on life support and we need everyone to dig deep and get in behind the club.
“We have tough decisions to make, we have tough times ahead. Some of the decisions are not going to be to everyone’s liking.
“That’s just the reality of what we have coming in.”
Zoe Ball laughs and jokes with friends and ex husband Fatboy Slim in Brighton after ‘going missing’ from Radio 2 show
ZOE Ball appeared in good spirits on a day out with ex husband Fatboy Slim and their friends after vanishing from her BBC Radio 2 show.
Zoe, the BBC’s highest paid presenter after Gary Lineker, has taken six weeks off the flagship breakfast show.
The legendary broadcaster, the BBC highest earning female presenter, laughed and joked with the group at a beach cafe in Brighton.
Earlier this months insiders claimed “nobody knows what’s going on” as she failed to return after her summer break.
Zoe, 53, usually takes the reins on the flagship show every weekday morning from 6:30am.
Last week her replacement Scott Mills, who is usually in the drivetime hotseat, addressed his appearance on her show and wished Zoe well.
He said: “If you set your alarm every morning to go off at 6:30am and normally Zoe comes on, please do not freak out. You have not overslept.
“If you’ve just put us on this morning, it’s Scott Mills in for Zoe for the next few weeks. I’m sending you all my love Zo’, as are the team.”
She has remained silent on the reason for her extra time off.
The beloved star had a tough time earlier this year as she revealed her mother had cancer, and passed away in April.
Zoe has not been on the The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show since she briefly returned to hosting on August 8, following a summer break.
A source told MailOnline about the mystery surrounding Zoe’s absence and said: “Nobody knows what has happened but everyone loves Zoe.
“We hope everything is okay. Zoe is so loved at the BBC so to not have her around is really noticeable.”
