A pregnant mum who lost everything in a horror house fire has warned people to be vigilant when using candles after discovering a single tealight caused a devastating blaze in her home.
Cathrine Doyle warned people of the dangers after a tealight left unattended for five minutes started a fire in the living room - spreading to the kitchen, bathroom and roof.
The 29-year-old had been out with a friend when her frantic partner told her to get home quickly and when she arrived at the flat in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, she noticed several fire engines.
