Hamish Blake was left panicking during Tuesday's episode of Lego Masters as a grand moment went awry.
The host was presenting the season's trophy to the contestants and Ryan 'Brickman' McNaught - but it didn't go to plan.
The tall and hefty structure, constructed of Lego bricks, began to wobble, threatening to topple off the moving stand that Hamish was wheeling it on.
Ryan quickly pointed out that the trophy appeared to be losing the battle the gravity as Hamish continued to push it out.
'Mate, if that lands on your head, it'll hurt' he warned and Hamish became hysterical.

'I'm not gonna break your trophy, Brickman!' he shouted in response - but nonetheless stopped pushing it out.
The show then cut to a break while the statuette was stabilised and the segment could continue - the trophy now secure.
It comes after Ryan revealed what he really thinks of working with co-host Hamish.
The Lego Masters star has shared the screen with Hamish for the past seven years on the hit Channel Nine game show.
On the cusp of the premiere of Lego Masters' seventh season - Grandmasters of the Galaxy - Ryan opened up about what it's like working with Hamish.
Speaking to Nine, Ryan admitted that, rather than displaying any diva-like behaviour, Hamish has always been incredibly genuine.
'I'm not surprised by how funny he is, because he's exactly the same guy off camera as what he is on camera. So there's nothing hidden from that perspective,' Ryan said.
'He's just incredibly genuine, like, he's the same guy, so it makes it pretty easy to go to work, I'll be brutally honest.'

The Lego doyen added that when the pair first met eight years ago, they hit it off instantly, bonding over eerily similar hobbies and interests.
'Whilst I'm creative with Lego from a professional point of view, and he's obviously a comedian and media personality-type-guy, we both cycle every day to and from the studio,' he said.
'We're both into footy. We both play golf. There's lots of things that we do that are the same, which made for a pretty easy connection, and we have a very similar sense of humour.'
The chemistry has obviously translated successfully to the screen with Lego Masters proving quite the ratings hit for Nine.
The 2024 series finale boasted a national total reach audience of 1.9million viewers - a figure that remained relatively consistent throughout the season with the premiere bringing in 2.2million fans.
Ryan's ringing endorsement comes after Hamish was revealed to be one of the highest-paid TV stars in the country.
The Australian's TV Rich List report, released this week, places the comedian third in the top 35 highest-paid stars list at a formidable $2million.
He trails behind fellow Nine colleagues Scott Cam, who is on $2.4million and Karl Stefanovic who tops the list at an eye-watering $2.8million.
However, the Brickman is nowhere to be seen on the list, with the lowest-placed star, 60 Minutes reporter Amelia Adams bringing in $300,000.
