“He was by my side from the moment I came out of hospital, cooking for me, rubbing creams and moisturisers into my scars four times a day, and telling me I was beautiful, not letting me lift a finger.

"He was keeping so calm and upbeat for me, but I was an emotional mess and I wanted him to be as devastated as I was.”

She suffered flashbacks to the petrifying moment she thought she was going to die and couldn't bring herself to look in the mirror during her recovery.

Abbie added: "I didn’t even recognise myself.

"All I could see were burns all over my face. I didn’t know if they would heal, I just didn’t want to look at myself or let anyone else see me.

“It was during lockdown, but the doctors decided I needed to have one visit. AJ came in to see me, but I refused to allow him into the room.

"I couldn’t bear for him to see me. I also told him I wasn’t coming home; I was going to move back in to my mum’s.
