Katie Piper has turned to Instagram, urging people to show more kindness after vile trolls targeted I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here star Tulisa Contostavlos.

The Loose Women panellist, a former model, has been candid about her lengthy recovery following an acid attack by her ex-boyfriend in 2008, which caused significant damage to her face and resulted in blindness in one eye.Online trolls have compared Tulisa's appearance on I'm A Celeb to Katie Piper's visible injuries following her attack.One Twitter user said: "Can’t lie #tulisa going for that #katiepiper look! #ImACeleb," which led Katie to respond to the hurtful comment with her own statement.The activist called for an end to judgment based on appearance as she wrote: "Stop Judging People by Their Appearance.

Making jokes, memes, or cruel comments about how someone looks isn’t funny—it’s harmful. You don’t know the full story behind someone’s appearance, their medical history, or the personal choices they’ve made."In response to online trolls targeting Tulisa, Katie explained: "No one knows what Tulisa has or hasn’t done, and she doesn’t owe anyone an explanation.

For those who think they’re 'calling out' cosmetic procedures, consider this: the very culture of online scrutiny is what can push people to alter their appearance in the first place."Katie continued: "When someone is constantly under the microscope, they may feel pressured to change how they look to avoid cruel comments.
