“That one is the kicker,” Klum said after she tried a hot sauce called Da’ Bomb.
Heidi Klum tried to keep a cool and collected demeanor while eating the infamous spicy wings on Hot Ones. However, it didn’t take long for the heat to hit, especially when she reached the notorious Da’ Bomb sauce. Known for being one of the hottest sauces on the show, Da’ Bomb pushed Klum to her limits. At the beginning of the episode, she had already shared with host Sean Evans that spicy food was never her favorite.
“Having four kids, even if I would put pepper on the food, they would go, ‘Oh, mom, that’s a little hot,’” Klum confessed. “So, I’ve been always cooking and people who have been cooking also for my family, it’s always been super mild for the kids, so I feel like, this is going to be very hard for me today.” Despite her apprehension, Klum decided to take on the challenge, though she admitted that she wasn’t prepared for what lay ahead.
As the wings progressed, Klum remained mostly composed, taking small bites while engaging in casual conversation with Evans. But the moment she took a bite of Da’ Bomb, it was clear the spice was too much for her. “That one is the kicker,” she exclaimed, trying to catch her breath as the intense heat took over.
Klum, who has often been known for her composed public persona, showed a different side of herself during this challenge. Struggling with the heat, she began unbuttoning her shirt to help cool down. It was a humorous and candid moment that shocked Evans, who was visibly stunned by her reaction.
Evans, who has seen countless celebrities face the fiery wings on Hot Ones, remarked that Klum’s response to the heat was one of the most entertaining he had seen. The show has built its reputation on celebrities pushing their limits with extreme heat, but Klum’s reaction certainly stood out. It wasn’t just the spice that got to her; it was the sheer intensity of the sauce that had her reaching for relief.
The moment of Klum unbuttoning her shirt became a memorable part of the episode, highlighting the overwhelming effects of Da’ Bomb. Fans of the show were quick to share their reactions, with many amused by Klum’s genuine struggle to handle the heat. Her honest and unfiltered response made for one of the most entertaining Hot Ones episodes.
Despite the challenging moment, Klum showed great humor and perseverance. She laughed through the discomfort and managed to power through the remaining wings. Her lighthearted approach to the challenge made her appearance on the show a fan favorite, leaving viewers both entertained and impressed by her good-natured attitude in the face of extreme spice.
