Katie Piper is to present a series of three podcasts in front of an audience at the Trafford Centre.

The TV personality is to appear at the shopping centre three times over this month and next month.

Piper, 40, who is a panellist on ITV's Loose Women, is to present a series of three podcasts about the health and beauty industry as part of a health and beauty takeover at the Trafford Centre.

The topics to be tackled with the help of industry insiders range from anti-ageing and skincare to fitness and food with the aim of helping people of all ages to be at their happiest and healthiest.

Piper said: "The health and beauty industry can be overwhelming and cluttered with conflicting information, so I am thrilled to be part of this initiative that aims to cut through the noise. 

"Together, we will investigate all things health and beauty, so you feel empowered to embrace your best, most beautiful self. Get ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and confidence-building with us."

Simon Layton, the Centre Director at the Trafford Centre, said: "The aim of our health and beauty takeover is to inspire customers, helping them navigate this booming industry via expert guidance and events. 

"We are looking forward to welcoming Katie Piper, renowned for her inspiring voice, as host of our first-ever podcast series."

All of the events are on Regent Crescent, opposite River Island, and these events are free on a first come, first served basis.
