Children dressing up for Halloween could be killed or scarred for life by flammable costumes, just like the one that left TV star Claudia Winkleman's daughter seriously burned, a report warns.
A year after the tragedy, the Strictly presenter's little girl, Matilda, is still recovering from severe burns, but shops have still not tightened up safety procedures.
Video bloggers, or Vloggers, working for Channel Mum on YouTube, tested fancy dress outfits from seven of the UK's most popular stores and found each one caught fire in just six seconds or less.
Alarmingly, within just 45 seconds, more than half the clothes had burned a third of the way up or higher.
Winkleman's eight year old daughter was in a witch's costume when it brushed against a candle almost 12 months ago.
She has had several operations and her surgeon has also called for tougher fire safety laws on fancy dress.
With more than half of children and 15 per cent of adults planning to don fancy dress this Halloween, the report raises serious safety questions.
