AN ITV racing presenter sped off to steal a punter’s pint live on air – after almost gagging on “Britain’s hottest chicken wings”;;.

Former Luke Harvey found the going heavy after settinghimself an unwise challenge inbetween .

And he couldn’t even get over the hurdle of his first bite.

Harvey then left viewers stunnedwith his reaction.

But one man was even more shocked than armchair observers – that was the punter whose Guinness Harvey grabbed and downed!

ITV themselves posted a clip of the incident – and admitted their pundit might just have made a bad call this time.

The broadcaster wrote: “Maybe this was a mistake. The hottest chicken wings in Great Britain LIVE on ITV.”;;

Harvey began it all by approaching a food stall and asking if there were indeed no such wings more scorching in the country.

The reply included:“That is essentially true... get your safety goggles out!”;;

But immediately after his first taste, Harvey made a retching gesture, bent over in discomfort and waved his arms as if panicking.

He promptly dashed off to a nearby table of drinkers.

And spotting a besuited man holding a full pint, he ordered: “Oi, give me that! Give me that! Give me that!”;;

He needed to demand it three times – because the drink-holder was not only shocked, he was also resistant to release his glass.

Harvey grabbed it anyway – seeking at least a quarter of it in one go.

By that stage, the Guinness owner had developed a bemused half-smile – before Harvey staggered off, warning: “They are hot, they are hot, I’m telling you.”;;

He then strolled away insisting: “I’m going home”;;... but instead settling for stooping over a bin, where he wiped his forehead with a paper towel while still holding his microphone.

By now he was getting sympathy from his ITV colleagues.

And one pleaded on air: “Oh dear, poor, poor Luke – go and get that man another beer please... I think it’s fair to say – pray for Luke.”;;

One fan responded on X: “Performance of the Day: Luke Harvey who despite sweaty up and bolting sees out the ‘trip’.“

Another said of the man holding onto his Guinness: ”;;It will be £8 quid a pint and a 10 minute queue no wonder he didnt want to part with it.”;;

And a third commented on Harvey: “Hope he didn’t dodge his round on the Guinness.”;;

Meanwhile, many joked that he was lucky the incident was live on TV – or else he might not have got away with ‘stealing’ the beer.
