Phillip Schofield had a bottom like a "dragon’s nostril" after he completed the famous one chip challenge live on ‘This Morning’ yesterday (14.11.17).
The 55-year-old presenter was over the moon when he became the first person on British television to put the world’s hottest crisp, which left one US news anchor on the floor live on air, in his mouth, but he has admitted the after-effects weren’t pleasant.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Wednesday (15.11.17), he said: "I left the sofa and ran out, I switched my mic off and made a ran for my dressing room. I was shouting: ‘I’m going to be sick.’ And you said: ‘Shall I hold your hair for you?’
"And I got to the dressing room and I wasn’t actually sick because I was drinking lots of milk. And then there was a knock at my dressing room and our editor had sent a paramedic. There’s only so much you can do. She said: ‘Are you OK? You’ll be fine.’ I began to feel OK by 3:30pm and I was pretty much back to normal. I won’t be graphic but suffice to say I have a bum like a dragon’s nostril."
The producers were so impressed with Phillip’s attempt that they had a golden toilet-seat-shaped trophy made for him to commemorate his success.
His co-star Holly Willoughby said: "Although we can’t officially crown you, we have got you your very own trophy. That is for you. The one chip challenge champion."
Phillip added: "I shall treasure that."
Taking to his Twitter account shortly after the show went off air yesterday, the silver fox expressed that he was having some stomach issues and was left with the shakes.
He wrote: "After eating the hottest chilli in the world, I’m now recovering Sitting in my dressing room with the shivers! All ok till it hit my stomach 8 minutes later!! I love a challenge pahaha .. but I’m not looking forward to tomorrow, (sic)"
