over it. After Gordon Kennedy's involvement in Klaus's videos, Kennedy made a parody of cooking with chili peppers, where Kennedy and Klaus taste sugar instead of chili peppers, but otherwise take place in the same way as Pilgaard's. The video was uploaded in November 2013. For 2013, Pilgaard went to the stage in Copenhagen to challenge the hosts Christian Fuhlendorff and to eat a very strong chili pepper. For an event in the summer of 2014, he challenged about 1,000 people to a hot pepper challenge at the Rådhuspladsen in Copenhagen. Both Pilgaard and Bubber were hosts, and they ate ghost peppers. At the end of October 2014, he uploaded a video where he, along with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra, ate Carolina Reaper, Trinidad moruga scorpion and ghost peppers at the Koncerthuset, and the orchestra subsequently played the Tango Jalousie conducted by Pilgaard himself. The broadcast of the video occurred while discussing the closure of the orchestra. In December of the same year, he challenged the Brazilian television host to eat chili peppers with him, although Luca initially just wanted an interview for his travel program Vai Pra Onde?. Together with the chili pepper, they drank a pepper-based beer named after Pilgaard called "Chili Klaus Ghost", which is produced by Midtfyns Bryghus. Luca stated "I think I will die" before the clip ended, and afterwards he had to go to Århus Kommunehospital. Luca was the first guest to have been sent to the hospital after eating peppers with Pilgaard. Awards At the 2014, Pilgaard received the award "Årets Det grinte vi meget af-pris" along with Bubber for his series, which became a viral hit. In June 2014, he won the "Mad på sociale medier" Award from mad+medier. The prize was given to him for his great passion for chili peppers, which he shares with people through YouTube. Personal life Pilgaard married musician and entertainer Jette Torp on 29 December 2004. The couple divorced in 2015 after almost 11 years of marriage.
