AJ Pritchard's girlfriend Abbie Quinnen has suffered third-degree burns after a wine bottle exploded and set fire to her hair and clothing.
The professional dancer, 23, was filming a video with her Strictly star beau, 26, when the accident happened on January 19 and was driven to Ealing Hospital in London by his brother Curtis, reports The Sun On Sunday.
Since the awful incident, Abbie has needed three skin grafts and made 20 hospital visits with AJ caring for her as she recovers at home inbetween appointments.

Wow No kidding. Sounds just awful.
A dremel with a diamond bit and a spray bottle of water works for me.
“ The clip involved dipping a rope in a flammable chemical and setting fire to it once wrapped around the bottle in order to cut the bottle in half and make a vase.”
I feel out of touch with Who Is Famous and also Why They Are Famous. Means nothing to me.
Happens to me all the... Waitasecond. Nope. Had it confused with beer. Sorry about all that.
lol...
So now it’s “Hold my wine bottle and watch this...”
Now who is going to watch doing something sensible like that on Instagram?
Art meets science.
Some people shouldn’t be allowed to own a camera...much less parade around in front of one.
Wow. I don’t know who these people are, but it almost sounds like something from “Jackass.”
Too bad for the young woman. All this pain and disfigurement for an Instagram post.
Who? And why do I care? In Other news, my nazi HOA just sent out thier yearly letter warning people not to change the color of thier mulch, remove shrubs from you yard or plant a palm tree in your back yard without getting written permission first.
In the U.S., these types of stories usually involve gasoline or lighter fluid, and alcohol. Or druggies venturing into chemistry above their competence.

I’m very sorry for these young people of whose existence I previously had no knowledge.
Thanks for that.
Key takeaway from socialized medicine:
“Help: Curtis drove Abbie and AJ to the hospital on the night of the accident after they were told an ambulance would take some time to arrive”
I have seen some fine glass sets, such as one made from San Miguel beer bottles or unusual vodka bottles, and when I asked the person selling them (who made them) this is how he said he did it.
When I asked why do it like that instead of using a glass cutter in a rig, he said it was almost impossible to use a glass cutter to do it effectively without getting chips in the glass which gives a less pleasing result. I couldn't argue with his results, and after seeing how it was done, considered doing it myself.
That said, I think their issue was likely HOW they were doing it, not the process itself. In the linked video above, they are talking about lighter fluid, which, if done as I have seen generally demonstrated, involves just enough to soak the string.
If done as I have seen demonstrated, I can't see how this would set her upper body on fire.
I am going to guess she not only did NOT use the lighter fluid sparingly, she was probably leaning over it and her hair caught on fire...but even that, details are sparse. How would the upper part of her body be "engulfed in a fireball" ? I suspect they were using gasoline or worse, and soaked the bottle, or had their container nearby and that went up or something.
Too bad for her. She is/was an attractive woman physically.
Same here. Who?
Yeah. Never heard of them.
