The 'All of Me' hitmaker's wife Chrissy Teigen was less than impressed when he managed to cut his finger whilst the couple were preparing food for a party.

She said: "I gave John the task, and within the first three swipes, he cut the tip of his finger clean off.

"He refused medical attention because of whatever was happening at that point in the game, so I told him to go sit and let me 'show him how it's done.'"

However, when the 31-year-old model - who has seven-month-old Luna with John - had a go with the kitchen accessory, she managed to hurt herself too.

She added to Delish magazine: "First swipe - first! - I sliced off the exact same finger tip. We have a great photo of us both at the urgent care centre."

Meanwhile, John previously claimed Chrissy made him gain weight when she was developing her first cookbook.

He said: "When she's working on it and I'm home I gain five pounds guaranteed. So, I'm like, sometimes I need to travel so I can lose weight!"

Asked what her best creations are, he said: "It's kind of like when people do those artichoke dips but it's got buffalo chicken and cheese and all these other things in it, too. It's really, really delicious. Chrissy is obviously a great cook."

And being a new father, John admits he is "learning everyday".

He said: "I'm a brand new father and I'm learning everyday, I think it focusses you, it makes you prioritise what's important. It also makes you think about what kind of world your daughter is going to live in, and how you can make that world better."
