Tomas Paczkowski, 32, from Elbag, was determined to show wife Lila that he was good around the home.
“I decided to do the ironing while she was out at work, just to prove a point,” he explained. “Women are always going on about multi-tasking, so I set up the iron, opened a beer and put the boxing on the telly. The Trouble was, I got so involved in the boxing that I wasn’t really thinking about what I was doing. So when the phone rang I picked up the iron by mistake and pressed it to my ear. The pain was incredible.”
Medics say he will make a full recovery from the burns but Paczkowski says he’s off housework for good.
