Nigella, star of Cook, Eat, Repeat, has hit back at accusations of ‘false gorging’.
The 60-year-old responded after a Twitter user claimed she didn’t eat everything she cooks.
What did Nigella say about Cook, Eat, Repeat?
After last week’s episode of the BBC Two cookery show, the last in the series, one fan left a question on Twitter.
The user asked: “How on earth does @Nigella_Lawson stay slim? So far she’s made crab mac ‘n’ cheese and chocolate cookies. It’s not fair!”

How did Nigella respond?
Nigella, who’s famous for licking her spoons seductively, joked that the theory would have her crew in stitches.
“That comment is going to make my crew bark with laughter,” she said.
Sumptuous mac ‘n’ cheese
The crab mac ‘n’ cheese divided viewers when Nigella made it.
“There are some people who take the view that you should never meddle with a classic,” she said while making it.
I’m sorry to sound immodest, but my crab mac and cheese is the most sumptuous of all.
“And up to a point, I’d agree, but the thing is, if you love cooking, it’s just impossible not to want to play with ideas and flavours.”
“I’m sorry to sound immodest, but my crab mac and cheese is the most sumptuous of all.”
