A man who was rushed to hospital after scalding himself with a kettle as a child believes the "traumatic" experience has had a long-lasting impact on his mental health.
Pete Cranfield, 37, was just four years old when he was burned so severly he needed a skin graft to repair the skin on his shoulder. The barber, originally from Speke, spent months in the care of Alder Hey Children's Hospital after getting his foot caught in the wire of a kettle in 1988.
Pete said: “It was January and we’d moved so the house was in a bit of turmoil while we were unpacking. I was four and I climbed up on the kitchen cupboard and got my foot caught in the wire of the kettle and poured it over myself.
