🔥 IT’S OFFICIAL! 🔥
On Saturday 28th June 2025, at the Chilli & Gin Festival in Portsmouth, UK — two League Of Fire champions made GUINNESS World Record history 😱📜
🇺🇸 Annee ‘The Reaper Teacher’ Boyer (California, USA)
🇮🇹 Carmelo Francavilla (South of Italy)
…each ate a fresh Habanero pepper 🌶️ and then kissed for a staggering 35 minutes and 24.26 seconds 💋
Their lips remained in contact the entire time — despite both literally scorching from Habs! 🥵😘🔥
And as of yesterday — 6th November — they are now OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED by Guinness:
🏆 THEY ARE THE NEW OFFICIAL GUINNESS WORLD RECORD HOLDERS 🏆
This all happened LIVE at Fort Purbrook in front of a buzzing south coast crowd in England — and we were honoured to assist in making this fiery, romantic and historic moment happen 😍🌶️
Huge shoutouts:
👑 UK Chilli Queen — LOF Ambassador — working tirelessly behind the scenes and on the mic
⏱️ David ‘Heatwave’ Hainsworth — timekeeper + part-referee
🌶️ Jean Rogers — legendary British chilli grower + official witness
