Media's Director Helen Ridgeway has been carefully and meticulously growing chilli's for several months now - and finally it's chilli harvest!!

Unsure on the true strength of the chilli's it was decided that Helen Ford should 'bite the end off one' just to check.

Not satisfied with the measly nibble Helen took, she was forced to take a proper bite (including the seeds). It was decided at that point that the chilli's were in fact quite hot and should probably be used sparingly in any cooking.
