Man's bid to impress date with 'extra hot' Nando's backfires spectacularly

Peri bad plan: Jonny saw his plan backfire

A Nando's diner tried to impress his date by pretending to order "extra hot" chicken - but was left in tears when his plan unravelled.

Jonny Smith, 25, had a quiet word with a waiter to ask for plain chicken disguised as a hotter dish.

He had requested the chain's super spicy black flag to be included in a bid to look tough during the date in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

But he soon realised there had been a mix-up in the kitchen and revealed the resulting ordeal in a hilarious Facebook post.

He wrote: "Our food arrived and there sat my ‘plain’ chicken with my extra hot flag stuck in it staring back at me in all its impressive glory!"

"Excellent service as always i may say, except for one little detail, it wasn’t plain at all! It was EXTRA HOT!"

Posting a picture of his puffed up eyes, he added said to Nando's: "Look what you’ve done to me!

"I couldn’t even speak let alone chat the poor girl up. I doubt there’ll be a second date now," he added.

After his post was shared thousands of times online, Nando's responded: "We’d never wish such an occurrence to happen to a gentleman as yourself, although deceiving your date for the sake of your bravado is never something we recommend."
