Katie Piper Instagram: Star speaks out after catching taxi driver ‘secretly filming her’

Katie Piper, 35, appeared to be slightly confused about why her driver decided to “film her” during her journey this morning. The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant opened up about the moment in view of her 884,000 followers in an Instagram post. Addressing the incident, the author wrote: “Weird or not weird… I just looked up from my emails and saw my driver was filming me on his phone – when I looked into the lens he flicked it back to sat nav. “Phone is fixed to the dash in a holder.”

The star then wondered whether the driver was recording due to “safety” concerns.

She added: “Possibly he keeps it recording for his own safety in case assault allegations are made.

“We are constantly filmed in public by CCTV so is this any different?”

Wanting to get opinions on the subject from her fans, Katie posted a poll on the social media platform.

She wrote, “Acceptable yes or no?” and encouraged Instagram users to vote and share their views.

The philanthropist spoke out about the issue while on her way to record a new episode of her podcast, Katie Piper’s Extraordinary People.

Her question about the recording comes after she told fans about a “gory health procedure”.

The author, who was left severely burned after an acid attack in 2008, shared a snap of her eye after going to the hospital last month.

She captioned the post: “Thanks for all your messages asking how my eye is after last weeks procedure. 

“Sorry I can’t stay on top of DMs so will give you an update here. I’m doing really well no infections.”

She continued: “I’m using Prednisone and chloramphenicol direct into the eye 4 times a day and it looks as if some of the eye has cleared so I’m feeling positive about it and looking forward to going back to the eye clinic for my follow up.

“Thank you to everyone who has sent well wishes and also to all of you who have been sharing your medical and own eyesight journeys with me.

“I thought I would upload this picture – I know for some people it might be a strange even gory image but I think it’s quite beautiful in an artistic way being able to see the marks where treatment took place in the eye serves as reminder of how amazing the human body really is along with skill of the doctors and surgeons that treat us.”

Katie concluded: “And as a side note if you really want to be amazing by what’s medically possible my eye lids upper and lower where rebuilt using the skin from both sides of my groin!”

The TV personality was previously treated for sepsis after an infection spread to her blood back in May.

While posting about the condition, she wrote: “Thank you to everyone who has sent me get well soon msgs, cards and gifts.

“I had a kidney infection that spread to my blood leaving me being treated for Sepsis.”(sic)
