Claudia - who also had to seek professional help to combat the horrifying image of Matilda's costume going up in flames - gushed about the NHS workers who were so incredible when Matilda was hurt.
She wrote: "There have been moments in my life, the most terrifying, the most confusing, the most discombobulating – that have led me to believe that the greatest people who walk the earth are nurses. They are kind, they are clever, they work incredibly hard, they are there to save us, or to help us through it when saving is simply not possible.

Matilda had to undergo a series of operations on her leg after her supermarket witch costume caught fire from a candle.
