Poppy Jamie's 35th birthday bash turned into a night of unexpected drama when her hair accidentally caught fire while blowing out candles. The incident, witnessed by close friend and actress Suki Waterhouse, left guests in shock as flames briefly engulfed her locks.
The entrepreneur and mental health advocate was celebrating at a private venue when the mishap occurred. Footage from the event shows the terrifying moment as sparks from the candles ignited her hair, requiring quick action from those nearby to extinguish the flames.
Despite the frightening episode, Jamie maintained her composure, later sharing a lighthearted post about the experience. Waterhouse, known for her roles in The Divergent Series and Daisy Jones & The Six, was among the first to help her longtime friend following the accident.
The birthday celebration continued after the incident, with guests including several high-profile names from London's fashion and entertainment circles. Partygoers described the atmosphere as "electric" despite the unexpected turn of events.
This isn't the first time celebrity birthday candles have caused problems - in recent years, several stars have experienced similar mishaps during celebrations. Safety experts recommend keeping hair tied back and maintaining a safe distance when blowing out multiple candles.
