Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina-scented candle explodes into flames causing an ‘inferno’ in a woman’s living room

A VAGINA-scented candle by Gwyneth Paltrow exploded into flames causing an “inferno” in a woman’s living room.

Jody Thompson, 50, won the risque product sold by the Hollywood star and wellness guru in an online quiz.

The candle is described on site as “funny, gorgeous, sexy and beautifully unexpected”.

But Jody was taken by ­surprise after lighting it when a 50cm flame leapt from the candle and out of the glass jar.

The media consultant told The Sun: “The candle exploded and emitted huge flames, with bits flying everywhere.

“I’ve never seen anything like it. The whole thing was ablaze and it was too hot to touch. There was an inferno in the room.”

Jody who lives with partner David Snow in Kilburn, North London, said: “We eventually got it under control and threw it out the front door.

“It could have burned the place down. It was scary at the time, but funny looking back that Gwyneth’s vagina candle exploded in my living room.”

, 48, launched the £57 This Smells Like My Vagina candle last year.

The scent has now also been used for a £34 roll-on deodorant.

A goop spokeswoman told The Sun: “We’re in touch with the woman to see if she followed the specific fire safety instructions included with the candle, such as trimming the wick and not burning it for more than two hours. 

“At goop, we vet the products we sell and make customer safety a priority, so we’ve alerted the manufacturer to the woman’s issue and have also reached out to her to send her some goop products to help pass the days in quarantine.”
