A self-described "party animal," Piper quickly made friends and enjoyed the London nightlife. Her best friend, Kay Little, left, said that men were instantly attracted to Piper. "She was physically very beautiful and we would go out to a bar or to a club or just shopping and heads would turn," Little said. (Courtesy Katie Piper)
