A very brave lady - because she has no choice...

Her story is now notorious. She met a man, through Facebook, who came up to her at a promotional event in Reading and introduced himself face to face. They started a relationship which, long story short, she sought to terminate. He raped her, and then threw acid in her face, terribly disfiguring her forever.

Eighty, yes, 80, operations on, Katie is back on TV. She sought to go public with her story, to tell the world that she and people like her can still have a future.

"I didn't really have much choice," she told me today. "You don't know how brave you can be until you have no choice."

Watch out for "Katie: My Beautiful Friends" on Channel Four tonight.
