He had owned the new iPhone 7 for just three days when it blew up. The dad of four was left with burns and is still picking glass out of his hand.

He said: “It was on the bench in the kitchen and I heard it ringing. As soon as I touched the screen to answer it the phone just exploded.

“There was a loud bang and a sizzling noise and the force of the blast shattered the screen.

“The phone was so hot it left a mark on my kitchen unit where it had been sitting. It filled my home with horrible fumes too.
