Another post showed her posing happily, flicking a ‘peace’ sign at the camera. However, her mum claimed in the caption that a “flare” had been dropped nearby them.
She’s absolutely fine apart from been scared half to death.
It was alleged: “Courteeners concert last night before a flare spark dropped onto her arm, burning her skin. Another flare dropped in front of us and nearly set the place alight. Absolutely ridiculous these are not removed at concerts. All that security and there was so many flares. She’d waited a long time to see one of her favourite bands. She’s absolutely fine apart from been scared half to death. Come on @heaton_park do better! @courteeners.”
