As temperatures continue to drop in the lead up to winter, a Northern Ireland news presenter is urging care in regards to hot water bottles.
Jane Veitch, who works for Q Radio, sustained significant burns to her leg after her hot water bottle split, sending the boiling water within it, over the top of her bare skin.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Jane says while her healing process is now going well, she wants to highlight the precautions to take when filling and using hot water bottles after experiencing her own trauma.
