The 30-year-old mother of two, who has been holidaying with her family in Gloucestershire, wrote: “I was in a gas explosion in my caravan today and I have minor burns and synced [sic] my eyelashes considerably. It was absolutely terrifying and I wouldn’t want anyone to go through anything similar.

“Please be SO careful using gas stoves at anytime but especially during festival season when ones reaction times may be a little off.”

She added: “Feeling very grateful to be alive. Happy camping”.
