A man has smashed the record for growing the hottest chillies in the UK - by shouting at them.
Matt Simpson, 43, grew the super hot British peppers by stressing them throughout the whole growing process.
He denied them water, pretended to be a predator by ripping bits off - as he believes the heat is a natural defence against being eaten - and even shouted at them.

The mouth-watering result, a variety of the chinensis family, named the Katie, measured a whopping 1,590,000 Scoville units compared to the previous record of 1,389,000.
He also produced a 'baby sister' chilli called 'Lucy - which measured a staggering 1,359,284 on the scale.
The hottest chillies from around the world measure at least a million on the scale.

Mr Simpson, the co-founder of Simpson's Seeds and Plants, said: 'We used a form of stressing to make the chillies even hotter.
'No one has done tests but the BBC did a show about eight years ago where they spoiled and mistreated some chillies. The mistreated ones came out much hotter.
'We denied them water so they began to wither. In my opinion, they also produce heat to defend against animals so I pretended to be an animal too.
'I broke off bits to make the plant think it was being eaten.
'I tried shouting at them as well but I haven't got that strong a voice. I was tempted to get someone from the Army to shout at them but that would have been embarrassing.
