Perrie Edwards was left with serious burns after she accidentally set herself on fire.

Edwards, 22, was left with blistered hands after the light on her boiler exploded.

The Little Mix singer shared images of her hands and arm and warned the band’s Twitter followers of the dangers.

In a warning note she wrote: “So today I had an accident…. And by accident I mean I accidentally set myself on fire. The pilot light on my boiler blew up and it set my arm/hand on fire. Not a pleasant experience.”

She continued: “I’m in pain, full of blisters, there’s not one hair left on my hand or arm, and it burned the sleeve of my favourite jumper. F*****g nightmare. A little advice from me… STAY AWAY FROM FIRE #StaySafeKids.”

Fans flooded the account with messages of support and kick started the hash tag, #GetWellSoonPerrie.
