Heidi Klum’s visceral reaction to eating a spicy chicken wing is being called ‘one for the books’ by Hot Ones fans.
Celebrities being interviewed over a platter of ever-increasingly spicy chicken wings - what could possibly go wrong?
Well, that’s the premise of Hot Ones - the beloved YouTube show created by Chris Schonberger and hosted by Sean Evans.
Over the talk show’s 23 seasons, there have been some iconic performances by Conan O'Brien, Gordon Ramsay and Jennifer Lawrence - but fans believe 51-year-old Klum may have stolen the show.
On Thursday (20 June), a 22-minute long video featuring the America’s Got Talent star was uploaded to the First We Feast YouTube page.

For almost half of the video, Klum remains cool, calm and collected after claiming she’d been advised by others to not let the hot sauce hit her lips.
However, the former model’s composure began to fall apart as she and Evans, 38, took a bite out of a wing doused in ‘Da Bomb’ sauce.
Following the initial swallow, Klum took a big gulp of buttermilk before proceeding to unbutton her shirt.

“Woah, okay! Now I’m getting hot too Heidi,” laughed Evans.
“That one is the kicker,” Klum replied before chugging down some more milk.
Being unable to handle the heat, Klum stripped off her denim shirt and remarked: “I have to take this off.”
“Oh okay, there we go,” laughed the Hot Ones host before he said: “I’ve got to undo a button I think!”

After successfully ditching her top, Klum claimed her mic was now sitting in her lap and asked producers if that was a ‘problem’.
“It’s alright we’ve got a boom (mic) Stu - best sound guy in the biz. Don’t worry, we’ve still got your sound.”

The Germany’s Next Top Model star then proceeded to stick her tongue out and wipe her nose from the heat of the chicken wing before warning the kids watching not to copy her.

Following the latest instalment of the show, which is currently sitting at over 690,000 views, fans have come out in their droves to have their say on Klum’s cool-down method.
One YouTube user wrote: “Heidi is the perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover. This woman radiates carefree humor.”
“Sean getting flustered when she unbuttoned her shirt was hilarious,” commented another.

A third user said: “Everyone’s talking about her taking her shirt off, but I’m honestly impressed about how well she took the spice after saying her kids complain about black pepper.”
“Sean full on blushing when Heidi unbuttons her top was a new one,” typed someone else. “Sauce not the only hot one at the table.”
Another penned: “Bruh, the denim garment button liberation moment is an instant classic Da Bomb reaction! One for the books.”
