The man who threw acid over model turned TV presenter Katie Piper is to be released from jail after 11 years, according to the parole board.

Piper, who will star in upcoming TV show “Strictly Come Dancing” said it was a “really difficult time,” as the parole board confirmed the planned release of Stefan Sylvestre, 30, who left her with permanent scarring from sulphuric acid.
