A woman was left horrified as her electric blanket went up in flames as she watched TV. Lesley Redgrift, 65, says she will never buy another blanket after the incident.
The mother, from Grimsby, was watching TV at around 8.30pm on January 18 when she noticed smoke rising from the heating device. She says she was left shaken up by the ordeal, which left a hole in her dressing gown.
Lesley's daughter, Tina, had bought the electric blanket on eBay for her mum's birthday in a bid to save her money amid rising energy bills, Grimsby Live reports.
