I've got a huge blister on the ball of my foot.

If it's still there in the morning, should I burst it, ot leave it be?

Burst , then put your foot in warm water with a good measure of salt.
It`s going to sting like crazy for a few minutes , the salt will stop infection`s and helps the healing process.

Ask NHS Direct for advice?

You should never burst a blister, the 'liquid' inside it is there to protect the new skin underneath. By popping it, you risk getting infection and further complications...

Leave it be and try not putting any unneccesary pressure on it. It will probably burst eventually but it should have healed enough by then to not cause any problems.

Bit late but I would burst it, always do.

I left one blister, after it had sorted itself out, the blister skin went rock hard so I decided to cut it off anyway. :D
