This is the terrifying moment a Midland woman's hair caught fire as she enjoyed a bottomless brunch at a restaurant. The incident happened when Fiona Young, 38, posed for a picture next to a candle and her hair touched the flames.
She suddenly started to smell burning and realised that she had to take action fast - and repeatedly hit her head in a desperate bid to extinguish the fire at the Liverpool restaurant. She told the Daily Star: "It smelt like something was burning. I had to hit myself in the head to put it out even though it was so hot. I had to hold onto my hair to stop the flames, but it took out a lot of my hair.
"In the photos, you can see I’m leaning in to pose with my friends but I didn’t realise the was a candle there. Everyone laughed in the end. I laughed and I think, if I was shocked or upset, no one would have laughed or anything. You had to laugh because it could have been a whole lot worse."
