The 31-year-old former model posted two pictures of herself in hospital after   she was viscously attacked back in 2008.

Katie's face and chest was burnt when a man ran up to her and threw sulphuric acid at her in the street.

The mother-of-one has always been very open about her recovery and yesterday shared her thoughts six years after being attacked.

The caption on one of the pictures reads: "When I look in the mirror my scars no longer upset me, they just remind me I am stronger than the person who tried to hurt.

"We all have scars whether they are on the skin or the soul. Remember only those who survive wear scars."

She added: "Next time you look in the mirror repeat to yourself I'm proud to be a survivor."

The pictures show the true extent of Katie's burns and the uncomfortable hard, plastic mask she had to wear to recover.

The TV star added: "Even in our darkest times things truly can get better.
