Nigella’s too much for the U.S.

Sauntering around the kitchen, swaying her hourglass figure like a dancer, Nigella Lawson is the ultimate domestic goddess. “Mmmm delicious,” purrs the voluptuous brunette as she dips the wooden spoon in the molten chocolate and seductively licks it clean. “Next, we need to add the cream…goooorrrgeous,” she continues, her bosom heaving as she breathes to fuel her velvet voice.

Her mix of handy cooking tips and rather “tactile” approach to cooking has left British viewers entranced by Nigella - getting her bona fide sex symbol status. British men and women just can’t get enough of the classy cook, but the same is not true for our Stateside counterparts.

TV bosses have been cropping shots of the chef’s ample figure because she’s put on too much weight! The New York post reports: “Our spies at the Food Network say Nigella has way overeaten. The result is a butt like a horse. Her director is now doing back flips to not show her below the waist.”

Well, that’s not a very nice thing to say! This coming from the land that brought Oprah, Rosie O’Donnell and Roseanne to our screens! If you’re not happy with Nigella’s abundant charms, you can send her right back. We want a chef that actually eats her food – particularly the way Nigella does it.

She may be too much for the US, but she’s not too much for us. Come on home Ms Lawson!
