Britney Spears has revealed she extinguished her eyebrows and eyelashes after attempting to turn on the fireplace in her bedroom six months ago.
On her Instagram, Spears, 42, described how the mishap occurred after she tried turning on a fire – only for her to receive a painful facial burn that left her wondering if she’d have to go to the emergency room.
Spears took on a British accent as she recounted the scary situation with her followers on Monday.
‘Six months ago something happened that was really, really dangerous. I was in my room and I turned the fire on and all of a sudden it blew up in my face,’ she said.
Britney said the issue had occurred before but she usually had her security ignite the fireplace as she feared it would ‘blow up’ again.

‘But this time,’ she said, breaking out into a giggle. ‘I just threw the whole thing in there and it literally blew into my face and it took all my eyelashes off, my eyebrows. And see this baby hair? These baby bangs? This is from basically six months ago.’
Britney said she was worried she was going to have to go to the emergency room during the accident.
‘It’s all my hair. And the person I was with would just not wake up and I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room and all that ’cause my face was like on fire! I was like wait – third degree, second degree burns, like what can happen? Cause my whole face went in,’ she said.
The pain lasted for hours.
‘But then it hurt to even touch my phone. It hurt to put ice on my face. It hurt anything to just touch it. So this lasted for like six or seven hours. It happened at like three o’ clock in the morning. The pain never went away. It was so, so, so bad.
‘And then so finally I took three Tylenols, which is like,’ she paused. ‘Tylenol is like a really, really big deal for me. It’s like a f**king Vicodin or something. But I took three and finally I went to sleep. But yeah it was really bad. All is good now.’
It comes four years after Britney accidentally burnt down her home gym with two candles.
‘It was an accident… but yes… I burnt it down,’ Britney captioned a video of her workout tutorial back in 2020. ‘I walked past the door to the gym and flames… BOOM!!!!’

The Toxic hitmaker also explained the ordeal at the beginning of her work out video saying, ‘Hi guys, I’m in my gym right now. I haven’t been in here for like six months because I burnt my gym down. Unfortunately.’
‘I had two candles, and, yeah, one thing lead to another, and I burnt it down. So, I’m in here and we only have two pieces of equipment left, and I’m going to show you what I do during this time.’
