I was nearly Rupert Burnt…

RUPERT GRINT once caught on fire — and didn’t realise until the late John Hurt raised the alarm.

The flame-haired star — Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films — accidentally set his jacket alight after getting too close to a candle at the Edinburgh Festival. ‘I actually felt quite hot,’ the 28-year-old said on James Corden’s US chat show. ‘John Hurt came up and said, “Um, do you know you’re on fire, my boy?” I had no idea.’

Where’s your wand and fire-extinguishing spell when you need them, Rupert?
