This Morning's Holly and Phillip in panic as John Torode sets his kitchen on FIRE 😱

They were attempting to make a McDonald's breakfast!

This Morning was thrown into sheer chaos today (Tuesday 28th April), after celebrity chef John Torode set his kitchen on fire with a tea towel!

As no guests are currently allowed in the studio due to the current social distancing rules, John was live on the show via a video link, showing hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield how to create a McDonalds breakfast at home.

However, things got a little heated (literally), when John left his tea towel on the hob, which resulted in Holly and Phillip shouting down the camera to make him aware of the fire!

Of course, with the little delay over the video call, it took John a little time to notice the fire, but he quickly grabbed the tea towel and placed it in the sink... resulting in his fire alarm to go crazy.

Watch the scary moment below:

Viewers of the show were quick to comment on the video, one fan wrote, 'Only on this show could you cook a sausage and an egg and nearly cause a house fire 😂'.

Another added, 'They didn’t notice for ages! I started feeling really anxious', with a third writing, 'The fire alarm going off actually made this! It even sounded like you were in McDonald’s restaurant! Face with tears of joy bleep! Bleep!'. (sic)

After John successfully put out the fire, luckily Holly was on hand (between her laughter) to show him a technique of how to stop the alarm going off. 😂

We've all been there! 🙈

Check out all of the TV shows we would love to make a comeback:

Footballers' Wives

Broadcasting between 2002-2006, Footballers' Wives followed fictional Premier League football club Earls Park, as well as all of the drama from both the players and their fiery wives!

Bad Girls

Set inside a fictional women's prison, Bad Girls aired on ITV between 1996-2006 and featured some very famous faces, including Claire King and Debra Stephenson.

Benidorm

Airing for a huge 10 series between 2007 and 2018, ITV/STV sitcom Benidorm was a huge hit with fans. Ever since the show ended, fans have been begging creator Derren Litten to create more.

The Bill

First broadcast in 1983, police drama The Bill certainly proved popular, airing until 2010. The show focused on the lives and work of police officers and starred well-known actors such as Trudie Goodwin, Graham Cole and Mark Wingett.

Don't Try This At Home

Who remembers sitting down in front of the TV on a Saturday night, watching on as Davina McCall helped members of the public take on tough and fearful challenges?


This needs to come back!

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

She was confident, funny, magical AND she had a talking cat. Sabrina made us all want to be a witch!


The show was also rebooted between 2018 and 2020 as a Netflix series called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Ugly Betty

Believe it or not, it's been a massive 16 years since Ugly Betty last aired on our screens! The show, which featured actress America Ferrera, followed a character called Betty Suarez, who despite her lack of 'style', landed a job at a very prestigious fashion magazine.

Where The Heart Is

The British drama, which was filmed in the Yorkshire town of Skelthwaite, proved very popular with viewers between 1997-2006, showcasing the lives of a group of district nurses and their families.

It's a Knockout

It was stupid, it was crazy, but it was certainly fun! It's a Knockout started way back in 1966, but the show made a number of returns on BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5!

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

We'd love to see Will Smith get back into his character alongside Carlton Banks, however we got the next best thing earlier this year, with the Fresh Prince reboot called Bel Air, which was released earlier this year where Jabari Banks played Will Smith.

Stars In Their Eyes

A true classic! Stars In Their Eyes, originally hosted by Leslie Crowther, first aired in 1990 with Matthew Kelly taking over in 1993. The show did make a return with Harry Hill in 2015, but it didn't quite take off!

The Queen's Nose

Who would have thought that rubbing a 50p coin would be so interesting? We used to love watching the adventures of Harmony as she used up her magic wishes.

Gossip Girl

Although the show was given a reboot in 2021 with a brand new cast, it didn't live up to expectations of the original series, which aired between 2007-2012.

Fun House

We used to love watching two schools battle each other in three rounds of madness. Bring back the gunge and Pat Sharp's crazy hairstyles!

Grange Hill

Despite being at school all day, we loved to come home and watch other people be at school. Strange. But gripping story lines and relatable characters had us glued to our screens.

London's Burning

Airing between 1988 and 2002, London's Burning documented the lives of a fictional London Fire Brigade Blue Watch at the fictional Blackwall fire station.

The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory was on TV from 2007 until 2019. The show centred around two physicists who shared an apartment, Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter and Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper, and their friendship with Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco, who lived opposite.

Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones lasted for eight seasons between 2011 – 2019. The show starred Sean Bean as Eddard 'Ned' Stark and Kit Harington as Jon Snow.


House of Dragons is the new prequel but we really wish we'd have gotten more (or another ending) to the original Game of Thrones TV show. Who knows, maybe when the last book is out they might make some more episodes…

Meanwhile, on Monday's episode of This Morning, poor Holly was pranked once again live on the show, this time by The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh and his son Barney.

Even Holly's husband Dan was in on it! Check out the full prank right here.
