She looks great, but i am sure she has had ‘help’, plus good makeup and good lighting. Not having to worry about money and being very very pleased with yourself helps too. Her food is dire though, and if i had to go to one of her dinner parties i would have to stop for chips on the way home Grin

Good bone structure. Continental/Jewish/olive skin. Not too skinny. No longer with an A hole. Same age as me, more stylish but similar heritage. The extraordinary thing is that Nigel Lawson created a creature so lovely. I think her mother was gorgeous though.

I'm just lusting after her kitchen Grin

MotherofTerror · 30/10/2017 21:10

Same age as me. Its not fair. I tried to grow my hair to look like hers and I looked like Ozzy Osbourne

LaurieMarlow · 30/10/2017 21:12

I absolutely worship the woman, but she has had work done, no question.

I guess it's very high quality work though Wink.

Myheartbelongsto · 30/10/2017 21:14

She is also The Honorable Nigella Lawson but doesn't use it.

The more I think about it, the more I realise it must be genetic....

I don't care what she looks like. I lost hours of my life making her Girdle Busting Pie or whatever's called and it was crap. Only recipe I like is the coke in ham. The rest are rubbbish.

Argeles · 30/10/2017 21:17

She looks totally beautiful.

My 35 year old husband sat through the whole programme with his tongue practically dragging on the floor!

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 30/10/2017 21:18

She is naturally attractive and has acess to the best beauticians money can buy

Win win

DavidBowiesNumber1 · 30/10/2017 21:19

Was this a new programme? What channel & time please?

NoWordForFluffy · 30/10/2017 21:19

😂😂😂 @BowlingShoes

chirpyburbycheapsheep · 30/10/2017 21:20

She has kept her skin pale so minimal skin damage too.

Also, her Guinness Cake is veeerry good.....I would recommend using it as part of your beauty regime

NameChangeFamousFolk · 30/10/2017 21:20

I know someone who looks like her. I've know her for years, she's in her 50's, never had a bit of work done, doesn't even wear make up. She has naturally curly hair and is very low maintenance.

I swear she does not look a day over 32/33. She has a light-up-the-room smile, is absolutely beautiful and her lovely personality shines through as well.

I just think that some people just have a radiance that most of us don't! Nigella might have had a bit of work done, but she's stunning, no doubt about it.

Housewife2010 · 30/10/2017 21:21

I met her a couple of years ago. Close up she looks fantastic and natural. She has pale, very slightly freckled skin and had just the faintest wrinkle on her forehead. Her cheekbones were fabulous. At the time she had looked a bit "fillery" and heavily made-up in the press, but in person she looked amazing.

grannysmiff · 30/10/2017 21:22

Take literally anyone with decent bone structure.

Give them a life of privilege and comforts.

Give them millions of pounds and access to the best beauticians, nutritionists and doctors available.

She's beautiful but anyone with the above would be.

Sara107 · 30/10/2017 21:22

I think she is quite 'worked on'. I think she looks a bit different to how she used to look before she lost weight (nose particularly). It's well done, and her make up is well applied, and the camera flatters her. Her whole 'thing' is quite phoney imo, her 'beautiful home' is a stage set, and as for all that malarkey of wafting around in a negligee raiding the fridge at night....does she still do that??

NoWordForFluffy · 30/10/2017 21:22

BBC, 20.30, David.

iMatter · 30/10/2017 21:22

She's the same age as Debbie MacGee apparently.

Sweetpea55 · 30/10/2017 21:24

When she was first on tv she was all frizzy hair and dry lips,And she natural with the cameras.

Now is like vampira..all smooth and sultry,,,but her delivery makes me think a bad actress.

QuimReaper · 30/10/2017 21:24

Hair transplants?! Tell me more?

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 30/10/2017 21:26

She’s beautiful isnt she.

I think the fact she’s got rid of an abusive ex must help.

viques · 30/10/2017 21:28

She also wears fabulous clothes that flatter her figure. I have got a bad case of dressing gown envy, though on me it would look more like a dog's blanket than a kimono.

PolkaDottyRose · 30/10/2017 21:35

The girdlebuster pie is indeed rubbish. She IS gorgeous, but she does look different somehow. I hope she doesn't take it too far and become a caricature of herself. That would be a tragedy as she is genuinely beautiful.

DorisDangleberry · 30/10/2017 21:35

She's clearly had work done, and looks strangely unnatural
