Jace Hillary, a toddler ended up suffering some horrific burns after he accidentally poured his mum's cup of tea over himself.

According to The Sun UK, Jace Hillary, who was 17 months old at the time, was left screaming in agony as the boiling liquid scalded his chest and arms.

Frantic mum Tarnya immediately began to remove his clothes but was shocked when his skin started to peel.

The youngster, from Prudhoe, Northumberland, suffered third degree burns and needed two skin grafts, which left him in hospital for more than a month.

Now, 18 months on, 41-year-old Tarnya has spoken out about their traumatic ordeal.

She said: “It was absolutely horrific and I quickly ripped his clothing but parts of his skin come off. He was hysterical.

“I had come home from work and put the kettle on in the kitchen. He was on the kitchen floor next to me.

“I looked away for a second and he knocked the cup of green tea from the kitchen bench with a broom handle.

“We called 999 but my husband [Michael] was away working in Scotland so I was in such a panic.”

Jace’s sister Alyssa, who was five at the time, was praised by the emergency services for liaising with the call handler in January last year.

Following their instructions, she unlocked the door at their home when the ambulance crew arrived so they could treat her brother.

Tarnya said: “She was a little trouper taking over the phone call. I was trying to make sure he was ok.

“When he was in the RVI the staff were absolutely impeccable through what was a horrific experience.”

During his recovering, Jace, now three, has been supported by The Grafters Club.

The organisation helps children and their families who have suffered burns injuries in the North East.

Tarnya said: “Their help has been fantastic and Jace is doing really well now. He still has some scarring under his chin, on his left shoulder and down his left arm.

“They hope that with the treatment that there will be nothing to see in a few years. We have been really lucky to have their support.”

The family is hosting a fun day at the Dr Syntax pub in Prudhoe between 1pm and 5pm on Saturday to raise cash for The Grafters Club.
