Holly Willoughby squeals as This Morning guest balances huge Christmas tree on his head

Holly Willoughy was left squealing on This Morning when a guest balanced a huge Christmas tree on his head.

John Evans holds over 90 world records for his strength, but after the coronavirus cancelling his events he has decided to retire.

The TV presenter, 39, asked John what he was going to do on the show, and he replied: "I'm just going to balance a nice Christmas tree on my head for you."

While he lifted the tree Holly started to panic, saying: "Woah... woah..Look at that!"

Holly joked: "You have to hold that up there until Twelfth Night when we take the decorations down.

"So good luck with that."

Speaking live from his house in Derbyshire, John said he has the "strongest neck in the world" and is stronger than a bodybuilder, despite never going to a gym.

He said he once balanced 30 stone of bricks on his head, which gave him a Guinness World Record.

"So this is his swansong, this is the end."
