VIDEO: Notts teenager set on fire after lighting deodorant can
Kyle Round and his friend had been messing around spraying the aerosol and lighting the canister with a cigarette lighter last week.
When it became too hot to hold, the 14-year-old dropped the canister on the floor and it exploded upon impact.

He was then taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham where he was treated for 12 per cent burns to his body.
He’s now not allowed in direct sunlight for up to two years and it may take four years for his skin to return to its normal colour.
