NHS worker ‘forced to scrub face with bleach’ after using wrong tan
An NHS worker says she was forced to scrub her face with bleach after applying the wrong shade of fake tan.

But the glamming up didn’t quite go to plan for the NHS call handler, when she turned a deep shade of brown.
After several rounds of trying to scrub the tan off, Kelsey finally succeeded after having a bath filled with a little bleach, according to The Sun.
