Abbie Quinnen has detailed how NHS staff nursed her through mental scars she suffered from her second and third-degree burns following a freak fire accident earlier this year.
The horrific accident took place while the dancer, 24, was filming a YouTube video with her Strictly pro boyfriend AJ Pritchard, 26, where they attempted to turn a wine bottle into a vase.
She needed three skin grafts after the stunt went horribly wrong and saw the bottle explode and set fire to her hair and clothing on January 19.
