A former Big Brother housemate has revealed she was mauled by an XL bully - and left "scarred for life".
Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace said the horror attack left her bone exposed through her skin.
Describing the incident on Instagram, the reality star detailed how she was rushed to hospital.
She shared a picture of her with the hulking beast, which she said was taken minutes before she was bitten.
Ms Horgan-Wallace captioned the photo: "Everyone knows I'm a dog mummy... I love dogs... this dog loved me...
"Then in a split second for no reason he didn't."
She urged her fans to understand how to raise the breed, banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act, and "how these babies can switch".
"I'm in agony and scarred for life now," she added.

The Big Brother star, who appeared on the show's seventh series, said in a separate post she was grateful it was not a child who was attacked by the animal.
"Thankful it wasn't my neck or face... sad I'm scarred for life... glad it wasn't a child and it was me," the reality star said.
She said she felt "conflicted" after the horror mauling - and said dogs were pack animals which "need you to be their leader".
Ms Horgan-Wallace added: "If you let them do mad behaviour they will eventually execute that.

American XL bullies have been illegal to own in Britain without a valid exemption since 2024.
The 47-year-old reality star, who also works as a property developer, has previously discussed a health scare which left her nearly paralysed.
She admitted last year she had purchased "Ozempic injections from the black market", which left her feeling as if she was going to die.
"I must have had a dodgy batch because my body reacted so badly," she said.

"For three days, I thought I was going to die. I was in my bed, waking up vomiting, suffering with diarrhea and falling asleep again."
She admitted she was going through a "really dark place" in her personal life which resulted in her decision to purchase the dodgy fat jabs.
She has now advocated for people to be more careful when considering their dupe jabs.
Ms Horgan-Wallace said: "Your life is not worth losing over losing weight. Don't cut corners with your health, and don' buy stuff off the black market because you don't know what's in it.
"It's the most horrific health issue I've ever been through, and I will never do it again."
