What else did AJ say?
“When it happened, the most upsetting thing is seeing somebody you love on fire and being so helpless in such a moment.”
He added: “As soon as the fire on her body, her hair, her skin was out, we covered her in damp towels and called 999.
“We did everything that we thought was the right thing to do and get her to A&E as soon as possible.”
AJ admitted handing her over to doctors left him “emotionally torn”.
He said: “I sat outside the hospital all night knowing she wasn’t even going to come out that night.
“Just sat there, I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t go into hospital because of Covid but I just waited for her.
