Over-egg-cited! Restaurant diner tries her hand at egg flipping trick - and brings the ceiling crashing down

by

Hilarious footage shows a woman bring down a restaurant ceiling - with an egg. 

The customer was invited to try a trick at the teppanyaki restaurant Hanahana in Newcastle, which involved flipping an egg into the chef's hat she was wearing. 

However, call centre worker Claire Logan, 30, manages to propel the egg straight into the ceiling causing a metal panel to fall down.

As part of the ceiling lands on top of the griddle, she and the chef are showered in debris and egg much to the amusement of the other diners sitting nearby.

Summer Sharp, 19, from Hartlepool, County Durham, was filming the high jinks at the Japanese restaurant where food is cooked on a hot plate in front of customers.

Ms Sharp, who works with Ms Logan, captioned her post: 'Can't cope with Claire trying to flip and egg and bringing the full ceiling down hahahahaha.'

Ms Logan can be seen preparing to toss a whole egg in the air using a spatula and, hopefully, catching it in her chef's hat.

The teppanyaki chef shows her the theatrics surrounding the trick, telling her she needs to hit her spatula off the griddle before tossing the egg up.

Ms Logan then gets counted down by other customers.

When the countdown ends, she tosses the egg up into the air using the spatula.

The incident took place at Hana Hana restaurant in Newcastle

Unfortunately however, she tosses it too hard. This results in the egg exploding off the ceiling, sending egg everywhere and bringing down a section of the ceiling in the process.

The silver panel hits the griddle in front of the customers, thankfully avoiding everyone.

Ms Sharp and other customers are heard laughing hysterically as the video ends.

Speaking today, Ms Sharp said: 'Before the egg flip, everyone else flipped their own egg and caught it in their hats.

'Then Claire flipped hers, missed her hat completely, hit the roof and it came down. 

'After that the people who worked in Hanahana put the roof back up somehow and we all carried on eating and drinking.' 

Since posting the video, the clip has attracted four million views and over 300,000 likes.

Some wondered how much force had been used to dislodge the ceiling
