Lily Allen suffers minor burns in gas explosion

London: Singer Lily Allen has suffered "minor burns" in a "terrifying" gas explosion.

The 30-year-old singer took to her Instagram account to reveal she'd been involved in an accident while staying in a caravan near the Glastonbury music festival site in Somerset, south west England.

Alongside a close-up photograph of her face, she wrote, "I was in a gas explosion in my caravan today and I have minor burns and singed my eyelashes considerably. It was absolutely terrifying and I wouldn't want anyone to go through anything similar.

"Please be SO careful using gas stoves at anytime but especially during festival season when ones reaction times may be a little off. Feeling very grateful to be alive. Happy camping (sic)."

The 'Hard Out Here' hitmaker - who has been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles working on new music - appeared to have decided to travel to the popular festival a few days early before disaster struck.
