As the man filming – presumably James – cries ‘There’s a fire!’, a concerned woman in the background can be heard saying: ‘No seriously, I don’t know how to get it out!’
Leaping to the rescue, the man grabs an oven glove before assessing the task before him, quipping: ‘Oh s***’ as he realises removing the tray may not be as easy as he first thought.
He then calls to another family member to open the back door before he heroically grabs the corner of the tray.
The man then triumphantly carries the six blackened, smouldering puddings outside and drops the flaming tray, lined with tin foil, to the ground.

Laughing, he exclaims: ‘Leanne’s burnt the Yorkshire Puddings!’
The smoke alarm kicks off as the camera pans to a woman stood in the doorway – presumably Leanne – who waves her arms around to clear the room of fumes.
James posted the video to Twitter with the caption: ‘Yorkshires are f*****’ followed by the hashtag ‘#ChristmasDisaster’.

Given the fact the Yorkshire Puddings caught fire on the top shelf, it’s likely it was down to the cooker being set to grill instead of fan oven.
It’s long been debated whether Yorkshire Puddings belong on a Christmas dinner plate.
According to research conducted by Aunt Bessies, an overwhelming 82 per cent of the nation is in support of serving them alongside the traditional turkey, stuffing, roasties, veg and gravy.
