RTE star Jennifer Zamparelli has told how her daughter Florence was left horrified after she accidentally watched her dad Lau set himself on fire while on a movie set.
The 2FM radio host’s Italian hubby works as a stuntman in films and has worked with many high profile actors in the industry.
Lau once had to film setting himself on fire for a scene and sent the video to Jennifer.

But the Dancing With The Stars host said she watched the clip in front of her six-year-old daughter, Florence, who accidentally had a peek.
Jennifer confessed: “He was on something a couple of years ago and he had to set himself on fire deliberately and I remember watching it and my daughter accidentally had a peek.”
But the Dubliner said she doesn’t worry about his safety on set – saying accidents only happen when producers cut corners.
“I don’t worry about him because he’s so completely safe. That’s what they are trained to do. Accidents only happen really when someone isn’t qualified to do the job or producers cut corners, I mean we’ve seen that happen quite recently.
“That is all people cutting corners and not getting the right people to do the job.”
But the mum-of-two said she is “so happy” that Lau is doing his “dream job”, despite the pair having a marriage that can sometimes be long distance.
“He loves it. I’m so happy he’s doing his dream job. It’s deadly. It’s very exciting. He gets to work with the best. He was working with Martin Scorsese really. It’s just phenomenal.”
But the Home Advantage presenter admitted it can be hard when he isn't there, the family have to adjust from their usual routine when he comes home.
When we first started going out, we did the long distance thing for about three years.
"Then he moved over and he was very much here permanently, but work picked up, film work for him. So he just travels all over the world and he just has to go where the work is really."
"When he was in the States, that was the hardest so far," she said. "The kids are getting a little older so they really pine for him a little bit."
However, while it's "great" when he can come home, Jennifer admitted it can be hard as their routine is disrupted.
"Me and the kids get into this groove, this routine," she said. "And then there's another person to feed and another person around.
"It's great, but you kind of have to adjust."
