The beautiful and courageous Katie Piper, 30, gave birth to baby daughter Belle Elizabeth earlier this year - and it seems as if the little girl has even more reason to be proud of her mummy.

In 2008, the beautiful young model and TV presenter was raped by her former boyfriend after she spurned his advances.
He then arranged for another man to throw sulphuric acid in her face as she left her London home.
The shocking attack melted away her nose, left ear and eyelids, burned her mouth, tongue, arms, hand, neck and cleavage, damaged a lung, and left her blinded in one eye.
Katie’s injuries were so horrific she was expected to die.

But, over 200 operations later, Katie has proven to be a survivor.
She's not only got her life on track, however; she's also founded the Katie Piper Foundation, a charitable organisation that seeks to improve outcomes for burns survivors, to help the provision of effective burns rehabilitation, and to support burns survivors through their journey of recovery.
The foundation works closely with Anglia Ruskin’s postgraduate Medical Institute in the field of burns research - and now they are planning to pay tribute to Katie for her work.
That's right, it has now been revealed that the mum-of-one will receive an honorary doctor of health sciences.
She will be presented with her diploma during student graduation ceremonies at Chelmsford's university this October.

Professor Michael Thorne, vice chancellor of Anglia Ruskin University, said: “Our honorary degree holders are chosen carefully and are also a source of great pride.
"These are people at the very top of their respective fields who will be excellent role models for our existing students.”
Speaking about the decision, an emotional Katie tweeted: "Thank you! It's an absolute honour and a privilege."
Her fans were quick to react to the news, with one writing: "So proud and excited for you my lovely - what an amazing honour and so well deserved."
Another said: "Massive congratulations, what an achievement!"
And another added: "Calling Dr. Piper! Calling Dr. Piper! Congratulations, Katie!"
A big congratulations to Katie Piper - we can't think of anyone who deserves this more.
