His kitchen mishap came after playing out a clip of Strictly star Joe collapsing on Great British Bake Off.

Last year the 29-year-old fainted into the arms of a paramedic after slicing his finger making a tray bake.

He went on to get a 'Hollywood handshake' and win the celebrity special.

But the Channel 4 presenter Simon and his co-host Tim Lovejoy found the medical emergency hilarious.

After laughing at Joe as he joined them as a guest on today's show, Simon later admitted: "Joe, I don't want to alarm you.

"But I've actually just managed to grate my thumb. If we have got the stand by team for when I faint..."

As he was halfway through making a dish, Simon said: "What I'm going to do is use spoons for everything now."

Joe put his head in his hands and shouted: "I'm a bad omen."

Simon was then seen searching for plasters before dishing up the plate of food.
