Make sure your kids/grandkids have a fire safe costume. Look for the CE mark. Some costumes are easily set on fire.

Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman has spoken for the first time about the serious burns her daughter suffered in a Halloween costume fire.

Matilda, eight, was in a witch's costume when it brushed against a candle at a house in London last year.

"We couldn't put her out," Winkleman told BBC One's Watchdog programme. "Her tights had melted into her skin."
