Natasha Kaplinsky’s eight-year-old daughter has been left ‘badly burned’ in a horrific boat fire in Greece, according to reports.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star and TV newsreader Natasha was said to be holidaying with family in Corfu when a vessel they were sailing in burst into flames.
According to The Sun, Natasha, her husband Justin Bower and their children – including eight-year-old daughter Angelica – had to be rescued by local fisherman who helped extinguish the flames and tow them back to land.
It is claimed the fire was caused by a petrol leak.
A source told the newspaper: “The girl suffered serious burns.

“Ms Kaplinsky and a man, thought to be the girl’s grandad, suffered lighter wounds.”
In a statement released to The Sun, Natasha’s spokesman has since said: “Natasha and her family were involved in an accident in Corfu.
“They came home early to receive treatment and are making a good recovery at home.”
Entertainment Daily has contacted Natasha’s rep for comment.
Natasha, 45, and husband Justin are also parents to nine-year-old son Arlo.
Although best known for being a television newsreader, Natasha appeared in the first series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004.
She was partnered with professional dancer Brendan Cole and the pair went on to win the competition.
Natasha and Justin, who live in the countryside with their children and pet dogs, are said to own a second home in Corfu.
Last year, Natasha received an OBE for services to Holocaust commemoration.
