‘Sunday Brunch’ viewers were left feeling a bit green after today’s show, when guest David Gower licked his fingers after touching raw chicken.

The England cricket legend was helping chef Simon Rimmer make a beetroot chicken, potato and mustard salad on the Channel 4 show when he was asked to help marinade some chicken breasts.

Don't do it, David.
Don't do it, David.
Channel 4

But after slathering the chicken in the marinade, the former England cricket captain then LICKED his fingers - much to the disgust of pretty much everyone watching.

Urgh! David Gower you dirty bastard. Licking your fingers after fondling raw chicken. #Salmonella #SundayBrunch #MakingMeSpew

@SundayBrunchC4 David Gower just licked his fingers after massaging raw chicken. Hope his GP is available tomorrow morning. #foodpoisoning

@SundayBrunchC4 @David215Gower that was vile, who licks their fingers after holding raw chicken 😷

We thought everyone knew that raw chicken + fingers in mouths = food poisoning, but David appears to have missed that particular memo.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Channel 4

Let’s hope he pulls through.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, later on in the show, chef Marianne Lumb managed to slice her finger open whilst using a mandolin.

Use a flipping mandolin guard... this #sundaybrunch is a H&S nightmare.. fingerlicking raw chicken... and now sliced digits

Just to reassure you guys @Marianne_Lumb didn't break her skin when she cut herself, she's ok! There was no blood 😊 #SundayBrunch

The official Sunday Brunch Twitter account claimed she was okay, but we’re still not convinced.

And we thought Sunday telly was meant to be relaxing.
