LOOSE Women star Katie Piper has made a heartbreaking baby confession after being forced to undergo emergency surgery.
The 41-year-old has revealed in a new interview that a medical setback has prevented her from wanting to have another child.
Two years ago, , who is a mum to two daughters aged 11 and seven, began trying for a third baby with husband Richard Sutton.
Her desire to have another baby came during her time filming with female murderers
It was during this time that she spent with the convicted killers that Katie recalls fuelling her desire to become a mum for the third time.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Katie revealed: “So many women missed their kids [in prison].
“It started to make me think, ‘This is my last chance to have another baby, I’m going to be 40. And if I don’t do it now, I never will.’
“I was turning 40 in the October so I said to my husband, ‘If we want another baby, let’s do it now,’ and we started trying.”;
However, a spanner was thrown in the works when Katie was rushed into hospital for an emergency operation on her eye.
Her left eye was damaged after she was the victim of a horror acid attack in 2008 when an associate of Katie's ex-partner doused her in acid.
Katie confessed that being hauled into an unexpected operation threw her plans to conceive out of the window.
The TV campaigner told the newspaper: “You can’t be trying for a baby and also be having unexpected surgeries.
“So that scuppered that and we had a break. We tried again, but it just didn’t happen.”;
With Katie now in her 40s, the option to go down the IVF route seemed likely but the star, who has faced more than 250 operations since her attack, admitted she was keen to avoid any more hospital visits or treatment.
Her desire to stay away from hospitals cemented her decision to not go down the IVF route in order to have a child.
Katie said: “My eye surgery made me realise I don’t want to do IVF.
“I’m done with medical things andhospitals. I didn’t think it would be good for me.”;
Following the attack in 2008, Katie was left blind in one eye and has faced countless operations and surgeries to help her to physically heal.
In a statement following her attack, Katie said of the incident: “When the acid was thrown at me, it felt like I was burning in hell.
“It was an indescribable, unique, torturous pain.”
