A TIKTOK influencer has launched a bid to appeal against her murder conviction after she killed her mum's lover in a fireball crash.
Mahek Bukhari, 24, and Ansreen Bukhari, 45, hatched the gruesome plot to "silence" Saqib Hussain, 21, after he blackmailed the mum with sex tapes.

He was killed in a 100mph fireball crash alongside his pal Hashim Ijazuddin after their Skoda was rammed off the road in Leicestershire.
Mahek was jailed for 31 years and eight months on Friday for the "cold-blooded" murder.
Her barrister has now confirmed the killer will be requesting leave to appeal against the conviction, Leicestershire Live reports.
If she is successful, Mahek's case will go to the Court of Appeal where the murder conviction could be overturned.

Even if it is rejected, the monster will get a second chance to get leave to appeal in front of a panel of top judges.
Saqib had been in a relationship with married Ansreen for about three years and "appeared to be in love" with her.
He splurged around ￡3,000 on the mum, who had attempted to end the relationship after he became "increasingly obsessive".
As a result, he "took to attempting to blackmail Ansreen" by threatening to send their sex tapes to her husband.

Mahek and her mum lured Saqib to a car park in Leicester on February 10 last year with the offer of getting his ￡3,000 back.
He and his pal Hashim were then rammed off the road - with their Skoda "split in two" after it hit a tree on a central reservation.
Mahek and her mum denied two counts of murder but were convicted by jurors after a retrial.
Ansreen Bukhari was also jailed for life on Friday but was handed a minimum of 26 years and nine months.
Rekan Karwan, 29, and Raees Jamal, 23, were jailed for life with a minimum of 26 years and 10 months and 31 years respectively for two counts of murder.
While Natasha Akhtar, 23, was jailed for 11 years and eight months, Ameer Jamal, 28, for 14 years and eight months and Sanaf Gulamustafa, 23, for 14 years and nine months for manslaughter.
All the killers were present in two cars, Mahek's Audi TT and a Seat Leon that were used in the car crash.
Leicestershire Police's senior investigating officer for the case, Detective Inspector Mark Parish, said: "This was a callous and cold-blooded attack which ultimately cost two men their lives.
"After setting Mr Hussain and Mr Ijazuddin up, chasing them at high speed and then ultimately ramming their car off the road, none of the defendants made any attempt to help the victims or to call for help.
"Instead they drove on and then even drove back past the collision site. Still no one attempted to offer any help.
"As the defendants found guilty were arrested, charged and stood trial before a court, lies were continually told in order to try and cover their tracks.
"Their only concern during the whole incident and investigation has been for themselves."
