Britney Spears recently hopped on Instagram to give her followers another shocking admission.
This time, the pop star shared a wild story about how she came close to setting herself ablaze a few months ago. The whole time she was relaying the tale, Britney was doing so in a self-proclaimed “British” accent. Britney shared her traumatic story in a video that she shared on Instagram on Monday, revealing she was nearly caught on fire because of her fireplace.
“I was in my room and I turned the fire on and, all of a sudden, it blew up in my face,” Britney said in the clip.
“The times it’s done it before, I quit so I always get my security to come in and light it for me because I was scared it was going to blow up,” she added. “This time, I just threw the whole thing in there and it blew into my face and took all my eyelashes off and my eyebrows.”

Britney explained that the blowback from the fireplace is what caused some of her hair loss.
“And see this baby hair? These baby bangs? This is from six months ago. It fizzled all my hair,” she said. The songstress explained that she almost thought she’d have to be taken to the hospital, sharing: “The person I was with would not wake up, and I thought I’d have to go to the emergency room because my face was on fire.”
The music sensation noted that she was worried during the ordeal that she might have severe burns because “it hurt to just touch” her face. However, after what Britney detailed as “six or seven hours” of discomfort due to her injuries, she was able to alleviate her pain.
“Finally, I took three Tylenol,” the award-winning performer stated. “Which 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.”
Britney didn’t make it clear whether or not she went to the hospital, but she did express that she was much better.
“It was really bad, but all is good now,” she divulged. “It happens.”
Britney is known to post jaw-dropping things on her Instagram account. Earlier this year, she shared a selection of nude photos of herself captured in the sea on Instagram. The blonde beauty showcased her entirely bare body in the photos on the social media platform. In one shot she playfully uses her hands to cover her modesty, while in another she is seen sitting with legs apart on the white sand.
