Former Blue Peter presenter Katy Hill has shared with fans the horrific scar she got after accidentally head-butting her loo.
Mum-of-two, Katy, 49, is a familiar face to many thanks to her daredevil work on the legendary BBC children’s show in the 1990s.
However, an accident at home means that she’s now scarred for life.

Katy took to Instagram to document the scar and open up about the accident.
She said she was rushing to the bathroom with her daughter when she tripped and “face-planted” her toilet.

She told The Sun newspaper: “It was a bad one and I was very grateful that the impact went down the centre of my forehead.
“As I found out from the doctors, if it had been slightly to either side, I might not be here now because the skull is thin in those parts.
“The irony isn’t lost on me that I used to jump out of planes and all sorts, and yet I injure myself in this way.”
