Heidi Klum tried to remain cool, calm, and collected while eating spicy wings on "Hot Ones," but she soon fell victim to the notorious hot sauce Da' Bomb.
At the beginning of the episode, Klum admitted to host Sean Evans that she isn’t a fan of spicy food.
“Having four kids, even if I would put pepper on the food, they would go, ‘Oh, mom, that’s a little hot,’” she said. “So, I’ve always cooked and had others cook super mild food for my family. I feel like this is going to be very hard for me today.”
Klum attempted to avoid letting the wings touch her lips, but she couldn’t prevent the heat of Da' Bomb, with its Scoville rating of 135,600, from getting to her.
After biting into their wings, Klum had to take a few sips of buttermilk to soothe her taste buds, exclaiming, "I'm getting hot." She then unbuttoned her denim top and used it to fan herself.
"Now I'm getting hot, too, Heidi," Evans joked, fanning himself with his hands.
However, that didn't seem to help, as moments later, Klum took more sips of buttermilk and completely took off her top.
"That one is the kicker," she said, referencing the hot sauce. After wiping her nose and fanning her underarms, she added, "I feel slightly better."
While Klum struggled with Da' Bomb hot sauce, she handled the Peppers Up! hot sauce, with its 700,000 Scoville level, much better.
"This is almost doable again," she said while taking a bite. "Are you sure about this one?"
"Yup," Evans replied. "Wow, amazing, Heidi. Impressive."
