What happened?
He was showing Holly and Phil how to cook the burger patties.
Behind him was a kitchen towel placed on top of an oven hob and it quickly caught fire.
John, tea towel is on fire! Behind you!
As the flames started getting bigger, Holly shouted: “John, your tea towel is on fire!”
Phil exclaimed: “John, tea towel is on fire! Behind you! Behind you John, you’re on fire! Fire John!”
John turned around and shouted: “Thank you!” as he quickly lifted the tea towel and put it into the sink.
He managed to stop the fire by pouring water onto the tea towel.
Holly and Phil were gobsmacked and put their hands on their heads as they watched John put it out.
Holly asked: “Oh my gosh, are you okay? You were so calm.”
Phil joked: “Well he didn’t know!”
John said: “I’m all good, I’m here!” as he continued with the cooking.
However, seconds later, John’s fire alarm started going off as Holly and Phil burst into laughter.
'Behind you @JohnTorode1, you're on fire! FIRE JOHN!'
