Suki Waterhouse's BFF Poppy Jamie's 35th birthday descends into chaos as her hair catches FIRE while blowing out her candles
The TV presenter and wellness guru horrified close friends including actress and singer Suki, Princess Eugenie and socialite Jack Guinness when her hair caught on fire as she tried to blow out the candles on her cake.
The incident, which was captured on camera by guests and later shared online, shows Poppy, dressed in a sleeveless black mini dress, recoiling as a section of her hair goes up in flames.
She furiously batted the fire away from her face as panicked partygoers looked on.
Thankfully, she managed to escape the mishap uninjured.
The following day she posted a photo of herself on Instagram - taken before the incident - with the caption: 'The calm before I caught on fire ���� Thank you for my birthday messages...
'I think the past year has been the. most challenging I've ever had. Excited to start again ☀️ let's go ��.'
Jack Guinness shared a story on Instagram, writing: 'I've had a lot of messages from people asking if Poppy's hair is ok after my previous stories…
'You're missing the point. That's irrelevant. It's the funniest video of all time. It's art.'
Despite the drama, the bash - which Poppy appeared to share with a male friend who was also celebrating his birthday - was otherwise a success.
After a private dinner in the capital, Poppy and friends headed to a karaoke bar for the afterparty.
Suki, 33, who last week revealed she had been hospitalised with a hernia for wearing trousers that were too tight, looked like she's recovering well as she blasted out a duet with Poppy.
Game of Thrones actress Jazzy de Lisser shared a photo of them on Instagram and captioned it: 'Pop Princess'.
Poppy's friend Princess Eugenie also marked the special day, posting a story on Instagram of their recent day out at Ascot with Meghan Markle's close friend, fashion designer Misha Nonoo.
'One more for the birthday babe… looking a bit better!!' Eugenie wrote - a cheeky reference to the earlier hair-raising moment which suggested she was also present at the dinner.
Poppy rose to fame as a presenter on ITV2 and MTV, before launching an award-winning mindfulness app, Happy Not Perfect, and writing a bestselling book on anxiety and self-love.
With fans including Millie Mackintosh and Pixie Lott, she's become a leading voice in the world of wellness and mental health.
Suki recently revealed she was hospitalised with a hernia six months ago for an unlikely reason, with fans noticing another unusual detail.
The English actress and singer posted a pair of images on the site X on Monday: one in which she was onstage in support of her record Memoir of a Sparklemuffin; the other in which she was in a hospital bed.
Suki told more than 165,100 followers on X about the bizarre scenario.
'"Suki you never tweet anymore'' she tweeted. 'Have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I've been too scared to tell you.'
Suki - who welcomed a daughter in March 2024 with fiancé Robert Pattinson - had a small blue vape in hand in the hospital pic, which she acknowledged after a fan brought it up.
The fan said that holding a 'vape in the hospital is diabolical,' to which Suki said, 'So true.'

‘America's favourite dancer' joins Strictly line-up
'America's favourite dancer' will join Strictly Come Dancing. Alexis Warr, who was given the accolade in 2022 for winning the television show So You Think You Can Dance, will seek to make a similar impression on British audiences when the new series airs this autumn. She will be joined by another newcomer, Julian Caillon, the Australian ballroom dancer and physiologist. The announcement comes amid changes to the Strictly line-up following a series of scandals on the show. Giovanni Pernice was left out of the 2024 line-up following an accusation by Amanda Abbington, the actress and former dance partner, of 'inappropriate, mean, nasty and bullying' behaviour in training. He was cleared of any physical wrongdoing following a BBC investigation, but a complaint was upheld for his use of 'belittling' language. Fellow Italian Graziano di Prima was initially confirmed for the 2024 series, but was let go by the BBC after reports of misconduct with his partner Zara McDermott. In an Instagram post at the time, he wrote: 'I deeply regret the events that led to my departure from Strictly. My intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime. Respecting the BBC HR process, I understand it's best for the show that I step away.' Warr said: 'I've admired Strictly for years, so joining this incredible family is such an honour. I can't wait to step into the ballroom, pour my heart into every moment, and share my love of dance with the UK.' Caillon, who shares videos on social media of his work training with the elderly, added: 'I've watched it for years, especially cheering on all the amazing dancers I know and work with who've been part of it. I can't wait to get stuck in, have some fun, and be part of something special.' The new pair will join fellow professionals Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola.

Louise Redknapp wishes son Charlie a happy 21st birthday as she shares sweet tribute to 'charming young man and partner in crime'
Louise Redknapp has wished her son Charlie a happy 21st birthday as she shared a sweet tribute. The singer, 50, shares two children, Charlie and Beau, 16, with ex footballer Jamie Redknapp, who she split from in 2017 after 19 years of marriage. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Louise shared an array of snaps of herself and Charlie over the years - from baby snaps to recent pictures. 'How did this happen?!' Louise wrote. 'My baby is 21 years old today!!! 'Chaz I am so proud of you and the charming young man you have become, you've been my partner in crime and shadow since day one and nothing makes me happier than seeing you living your best life. 'You have an incredible future ahead of you keep on working hard and absolutely smashing it. I would however like to request that you now at the age of 21 learn how to wash up, turn the lights off and pick your clothes up off the bedroom floor… but maybe we'll get there for next year. 'Happy Birthday Charley, Have the most amazing day! We love you so much. Love Mum Xxx.' Earlier this year, Louise revealed why she was painted as the 'villain' following her split from ex-husband Jamie. In an interview, Louise opened up about being accused of walking out on her family and how everyone had an 'opinion'. She told the Independent: 'I was the villain. I'd been lucky in my career because for many years I didn't really have a lot of scrutiny. Then bang, everybody's got an opinion.' 'Anything someone could perceive as negative, I cut out. Nothing I said was right. To defend myself was wrong. To not defend myself was wrong. 'I felt like I was walking up a one-way street with just nowhere to go on it.' Louise also discussed her divorce from Jamie on the Happy Place podcast and credited her two sons for keeping her going during the breakup. She said: 'If I didn't have my kids, I think I would've just given up. I think I just knew that my kids were my everything and they needed me.' The singer admitted that the public scrutiny of her marriage breakdown made the situation even harder to deal with. She added: 'But I can honestly say, when you're going through something so personal in your own turmoil in your own way, but then to get the barrage of judgment and nastiness. 'I never realised people could be so unkind and say such terrible things. I blew my mind.' 'I was going through a lot as it was, I was trying to be strong for my kids, whatever had gone on in our life was private - which I do believe that you're entitled to no matter what. 'And God, I was such a villain, and I was breaking like I was absolutely breaking. 'Beyond what I thought it was possible for a human to break and all along I'm still trying to be a mum. 'And it was just like every time I went out, and I was trying to put a brave face on and do things, like that was wrong if I didn't."
