A British TV host laughed off warnings as he attempted to eat what are supposed to be the nation’s hottest chicken wings.

A few minutes later, he wasn’t laughing anymore.

ITV Racing’s Luke Harvey ordered the wings from the Yuzu stand at the racetrack last week, and declined the gloves and eye protection offered.

“They can’t be that hot,” he said and then bit into the chicken.

Within seconds he was in obvious pain, gagging as the Yuzu workers chuckled. He fled to the nearby tables and took what seemed like someone else’s beer.
