AJ Pritchard's girlfriend Abbie Quinnen has revealed that she had a heartbreaking question for her boyfriend after she suffered horrific burns following a nasty accident.
The 23-year-old dancer was rushed to hospital after she was engulfed in flames which left her with third-degree burns after a video stunt went wrong.
Speaking for the first time following the horrific ordeal two months ago, Abbie revealed that the first thing she asked AJ was whether he was still going to love her.
It came after medics warned that the performer might suffer permanent damage after three skin grafts.
Speaking to The Sun, Abbie explained that her hair and body caught alight during the horrific accident.
“AJ and I just wanted to do the lifehack video for fans to watch at home. It was a popular video online so we were doing a test-run in the kitchen that I was going to film," she told the publication.
She said her hair caught fire and the flames spread within seconds.
She added: “It was such a shock, I was panicking and screaming. I dropped down to the floor and I was rolling to try to put out the fire."
Abbie recalled how the incident left her in utter shock, and she was left worried about her face.
She continued: “The first thing I said to AJ was, ‘Is my face going to be OK? Are you still going to love me?'
“I kept repeating this to him and I was shaking in horror.”
Abbie's terrifying ordeal was linked to a botched viral stunt that was meant to cut a glass bottle in half.
The dangerous hack - which Abbie has since firmly warned against - saw the duo dip a rope in a flammable liquid and set it alight in an attempt to crack the bottle.
Unfortunately, the bottle exploded and Abbie was quickly engulfed in flames. AJ's brother then quickly drove the pair to the hospital in Ealing but Abbie explained that she was in complete shock at the time.
Abbie was told that she had suffered second-degree burns to her face and third-degree burns to the rest of her body.
After five days in the hospital, during which she was being given lots of medication, she was finally discharged from the ward. However, she has spent the last seven weeks receiving constant treatment.
She also told the Sun: “I was so nervous seeing him, when we were reunited we were both welling up. But once we saw each other, I felt better."
Throughout the last two months, AJ has been Abbie's full-time carer and has lovingly helped his girlfriend throughout the long recovery process. During her interview, the dancer also explained that the horrific ordeal had brought them together.
