Reality TV star Steve-O has undergone surgery in hospital after “making snow angels in rocket engine fuel”.
The 42–year-old, who is known for his wild stunts on US prank series Jackass, revealed in a video posted online that he was left covered in boils after laying down in the fuel and swirling his arms around.
He later posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed on Instagram, telling his 2.9 million followers that after experiencing more pain he had went to hospital and had an operation.
“When they saw my burns they said I needed surgery, so that just happened.
“I can’t wait for you to see how insane and hilarious the five different pyro stunts in my living were! Thank you all for the love and support!”
A second image showed Steve-O and a woman lying on together on his hospital bed.
He said: “From this very hospital bed, I just sent the following text with this photo to my dearest loved ones (who have been super worried about me): A kind of poopy night turned into truly blissful perfection.
“No more painkillers, I’m all good now.
“Thank you, guys, for all of the concern and support. We love you all… Lux and Steve.”
