Metro reported that thousands of people have followed the Manchester student on social media after the attack where she has shares updates about her recovery process and personal life.

She has also said in the past how she had the ‘luckiest acid attack in the world’ and was blessed with support from friends, family and the media. Tomlin, 25, was sentenced to 16 years in prison at Snaresbrook Crown Court in April.
In a victim statement read to the court, Miss Khan said:
‘My 21st birthday turned into a day where my face was taken away from me.
‘I have been looking at myself in the mirror it upsets me, it brings back the incident on the day, it doesn’t look like me.
‘No matter what his sentence may be, these injuries will affect me for the rest of my life.’
