AJ Pritchard's girlfriend Abbie Quinnen breaks silence after suffering 3rd degree burns

Abbie Quinnen has told concerned fans that she will be "OK" after suffering third degree burns.

The girlfriend of AJ Pritchard had to undergo three skin grafts in hospital, and this afternoon returned to social media to thank the burns unit staff and to explain how it had happened.

Abbie also responsibly warned her followers to be very careful around fire and when replicating what they see online.

She wrote: "I am sad I have been absent in the last few weeks and haven't posted much with AJ, we so desperately wanted to be able to share daily vlogs with you all but unfortunately I have had an accident.

"Whilst we were attempting to create a glass bottle into a vase following a YouTube tutorial it went terribly wrong and it resulted in me incurring injuries and burns requiring continuous hospital treatment over the past seven weeks."

Abbie added: "I really need you all to be careful with what you're doing and if you're copying any YouTube videos. I will be OK, I love you all.

"I also want to say a massive thank you to the nurses and doctors and the Chelsea & Westminster burns unit for their incredible care and treatment."

"I know we haven't replied to everybody. But yeah, thank you for that. And we will talk about it further down the line when we both feel comfortable.

"So yeah, just thanks for that love. It means a lot on your support, it keeps us all going."
