Kym Johnson’s wedding dress goes up in flames!

The newlywed opens up about her wedding day disaster

When Aussie Dancing With The Stars pro Kym Johnson tied the knot with Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec on July 31, it didn’t go without a hitch.

Standing at the altar with her beloved, the 39-year-old couldn’t have been happier.

But a freak accident almost derailed the happiest day of the couple’s lives when Kym’s dress caught on fire!

‘I almost went up in flames!’ the bride tells People, explaining that a gust of wind blew a candle which set fire to the train of her stunning strapless Monique Lhuillier gown.

Adds the 53-year-old groom: ‘We smelled something and we thought, “Is someone having a barbecue?” Then we realised that Kym’s dress was on fire!’

Fortunately, the crisis was averted before any serious damage was done, thanks to Kym’s quick-thinking pal.

‘Thank God my man of honour stomped it out with his foot,’ Kym continues. ‘But underneath, my dress is completely singed.’
