Perrie Edwards left badly burned after boiler explodes

"So today I had an accident… and be accident I mean I accidentally set myself on fire," she wrote. "The pilot light on my boiler blew up and it set my arm/hand on fire. I'm in pain, full of blisters, there's not one hair left on her hand or arm, and it burned the sleeve of my favourite jumper… nightmare. A little advice from me… STAY AWAY FROM FIRE! #StaySafeKids."

Perrie and Leigh-Anne Pinnock were later seen leaving an after party with One Direction's Louis Tomlinson, the former bandmate of Perrie's former fiancéZayn Malik. The trio were seen jumping into a taxi at around 2.30am after letting their hair down at the Sony Brit Awards event at The Arts Club in Mayfair, London.

Now poor Perrie will be hoping that her injuries are healed in time for Little Mix's Get Weird tour, which kicks off next month.
