OMG! This Morning was plunged into chaos on Tuesday as John Torode set his tea towel on FIRE during a cooking segment… leaving Holly and Phil screaming in the studio
They shouted: ‘Turn around, turn around, behind you, on fire….!’ but John did not seem to notice at first.
John then noticed and calmly said: ‘Oh thank you,’ as he picked up the flaming rag and Holly and Phil pulled their hands to their faces in shock.
John then carried the tea towel to the sink to put water on it in order to stamp it out and smoke billowed up from the sink.
‘I’m just going to open the back door,’ John said.
Holly then said: ‘Oh my gosh, are you OK? You were so calm about that.’
‘Well, he didn’t know,’ Phillip said while nervously giggling.
Among all the panic, John’s fire alarm then went off as he continued to film live.
John said: ‘Brilliant. It’s alright. Right, we’re all back now, all calm. Ok, your eggs are steamed and cooked…
Holly said from the studio: ‘Ok so I’m buttering my muffin
John quipped: ‘Is it nice buttering your muffin Holly?’
