WOWZERS! This Chilli Eating Contest had it all... Sweat, pain, tears which is bound to happen if you rub your eye after handling some of the World's Hottest Peppers. And a finale that'll surely have you on the edge of your seat!

10 brave contestants battle it out to see how far they can get as they chomp their way through multiple rounds eating various chili pepper pods ranging from the mild to superhot.

This contest took place at The Middlesex Chilli Festival, Feltham, UK on Sunday 21st May 2023 and was hosted by Matt Tangent & Shahina 'UK Chilli Queen' Waseem.

A big thank you to Alex & Vikki Beames for helping dish out the pain!
