A TikToker from Blackpool who went viral following a fake tan disaster has warned others to be careful after being bombarded with abuse.
BobbieJo Houston mixed several different fake tan brands in an attempt to create her own perfect bronze colour.
The 39-year-old hoped the concoction would make a “nice colour in the morning” as she was always left disappointed with other tanning methods.
However, as the hours went on, she discovered her experiment had failed as her skin began to get darker with a “tinge of green”.
Speaking to the Gazette, BobbieJo - who now has more than 83,000 followers - said it was a laugh at first, and she later accepted a challenge to put on ten layers of self-tanner
Despite accepting the dare to entertain people, she says she suffered a torrent of abuse after the videos went viral.
