A former Miss Italy contestant has been left horrifically scarred and could lose her sight after her ex-boyfriend allegedly threw acid in her face.

Gessica Notaro, 28, is in a serious but stable condition after the horror attack as she left her house in Rimini on the east coast of Italy. She has suffered "deep" burns to the face and eye and is in a specialist unit in hospital.

The acid also damaged her hip and leg.
