Hottest chilli grown in the UK - EVER
A man has smashed the eye-watering record for growing the hottest chillies in the UK - by SHOUTING AT THEM. Intrepid Matt Simpson, 43, grew the super hot British chillies by stressing them throughout the whole growing process. He denied them water, pretended to be a predator by ripping bits off - as he believes the heat is a natural defence against being eaten - and even shouted at them. The mouth-watering result, a variety of the chinensis family, named the 'Katie', measured a whopping 1,590,000 Scoville units compared to the previous record of 1,389,000.
