Abbie attempted to cut a wine bottle in half using a rope dipped in a flammable chemical, but the bottle exploded, leaving her with third degree burns.
AJ reportedly jumped to give first aid to the burns with a cold towel after the flaming glass shattered.
AJ and his Love Island star brother Curtis Pritchard rushed Abbie to Ealing Hospital after being told they’d have to wait for an ambulance and she was taken to intensive care before being treated at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital’s specialist burns unit.
Abbie is said to have been given three skin grafts and is continuing to be treated.
“It’s been an extremely difficult and testing time for them but she’s on the road to recovery,” a source told The Sun.
A spokesperson for AJ and Abbie said, “Abbie has undergone surgery on her upper body and will continue to receive treatment.
“Abbie and AJ cannot thank all the nurses and doctors enough for their incredible care, support and expertise whilst being at Chelsea and Westminster Burns Unit and at Ealing Hospital.”
