While in 2022, she received the OBE from the Princess Royal for her services to charity and victims of burns. Only recently, Katie underwent tarsorrhaphy surgery to her left eye, which joins parts or all of the upper and lower eyelids to completely close the eye. She said at the time of the procedure, which is used to help or heal the cornea: “In my case I am trying to preserve the eye, avoid perforation and loosing my eye completely. “Also, if this helps anyone else…. yes I do sometimes find it hard. I’m ok with looking different to everyone else but operations can sometimes take me back to memories of how this all started and that’s hard mentally.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
