Donal Skehan 'cursed again' days after Bloom kitchen chaos
It seems the days of oven nightmares aren't over for Donal Skehan just yet.
The TV chef was in the middle of a cookery demonstration at Bord Bia Bloom last weekend when a glass oven door broke into pieces in his hand.
Thankfully, nobody was hurt by the flying shards, and the accident provided the chef with plenty of material for the rest of the demonstration, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the amused audience. It seems the days of oven nightmares aren't over for Donal Skehan just yet. Pic: Michael Chester
However, his unlucky streak continued this week, with the star experiencing yet another oven explosion, this time at home.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Donal detailed a mishap that occurred while he was firing pottery in his kiln.
'Now I know we are not even clear of a week of my exploding oven incident, however, I've been cursed again,' he laughed. The TV chef was in the middle of a cookery demonstration at Bord Bia Bloom last weekend when a glass oven door broke into pieces in his hand. Pic: Michael Chester
'I've just fired the kiln for the very first time and look what I woke up to,' he added, showing a number of shattered pottery pieces in the base of the kiln.
'Another explosion in the oven,' he laughed. 'However, despite my little one pot that exploded, I have been left with these beautiful vases.'
Finding the humour in the incident, he continued: 'Oven explosions, I think it's just something I live with now.'
Speaking to Extra.ie following his original over mishap, Donal explained: 'My biggest fear was that the glass was hot, it went all down my shirt, all down my top.'
'It had rained previously, so we've never had a more packed demo tent – of course – to witness it,' Skehan laughed.
'The thing I learned in all my years on television is that whatever goes wrong, you keep on cracking on. I've had many kitchen disasters, and I think this definitely tops it. There's nothing like something going wrong in front of 400 people.'
