Kelly Osbourne's boyfriend has recalled watching his skin peel away as he drove to the ER after a horrific accident this week.
Sid Wilson, 47, who is one ninth of the band Slipknot, was involved in a freak accident earlier this week, after lighting a bonfire and suffering serious burns when it exploded in front of him.
Wilson has been dating Kelly Osbourne, 39 since 2022 and shares a young son with the reality TV star.

"A few nights ago, I lit it and let it burn down," Wilson recently recalled on a phone call with Fox News Digital.
"So, the next day, I went to check it to see, you know, how much was left, if anything. And there was a certain amount of debris around the side still left, so I, like a dummy, [did] what I'm not supposed to do, but I added some gas to it."
Wilson continued: "I started looking around for a long branch to kind of be at a distance to light it, and then I couldn't find one immediately. So, my lack of patience got the better of me, and I was like, screw it. I'll be all right, you know?
"And I squatted down and reached out and lit it, and it just, it was really humid out so there was still a lot of vapors lingering around in there, and it just... woof. Exploded."
Wilson has since been left with serious burns, mainly to his arms and face.
"My whole right arm is bandaged up, half of my left arm," he shared.
"My face is basically melted from nose down. But the swelling's gone down, and they said the face is kind of amazing that it's regenerative, it happens real fast, seems to heal quickly."
Speaking about Osbourne, he added: "Being here and taking care of all that for me, I'm not really sure what I’d be doing if she wasn’t here doing that."
The DJ added to TMZ that he drove himself to the ER and watched as his skin started 'peeling' away from his body.
It seems Wilson is soldiering on, however, after he revealed that he plans on playing at Slipknot's show on Sunday (1 September) despite his injuries.
Posting on Instagram on Friday (30 August), Wilson explained he was 'halfway there', also adding in a separate video: "@kellyosbourne having the Florence Nightingale effect on me."
