John Diamond was a lovely man. What she saw in that oaf Saachi is beyond me. Yes, he's successful, but she had wealth and intellect in spades, so would not have been swayed by that, surely.

Clearly there's something there as he bagged Trinny (or was it Susannah) shortly after breaking with Nigella.

No idea what it might be though. And quite why you'd shack up with a known abuser is beyond me.

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks thanks for that, I laughed so hard I had to dig out my asthma inhaler!

As others said: good genes her helped and work and make up.

Her mother:www.anothermag.com/fashion-beauty/3349/vanessa-salmon-the-troubled-society-beauty

I remember reading somewhere a few years back when she lost the weight that Matt Roberts was helping her - green smoothies, exercise etc.
She has always really looked after herself - in the 80's she was very briefly an acquaintance and spent a lot of money on facials etc with "some marvellous woman in Marylebone" that were eye wateringly expensive.

She is very very beautiful

Sorry - double post

NotNowBernard1 · 01/11/2017 12:52

Her mum died at the age of 47 - we have no idea what she would have looked like aged 58. And the photo of her mum that people keep linking to was probably taken when she was 30.

Also was it her who was pictured in the sea on holiday head to toe covered in some outfit, it even covered her face like a balaclava? She clearly never puts her face anywhere near the sun so that helps.

Ratonastick · 01/11/2017 14:45

I’d say that she has looked after her skin from a very early age, stayed out of the sun and spent a lot of money on the absolute best facial aestheticians she can find. Fair play to her, she looks fantastic.

I also think she dresses very carefully. I bought a dress like hers from St Bustier once (the Nigella dress!). The thing had the sort of terrifying elastic tension that could hold up a bridge but, once i’d wriggled into it, I was stunned at how absolutely fucking amazing i looked! The effect was astonishing but my God it took some wearing. The pressure! You definitely can’t go for a pee in a hurry.

TakeMe2Insanity · 01/11/2017 14:49

Oh my gosh she looks amazing. I love the way she eats BUT I refuse to believe she eats like that every day especially with her new figure.

50Sometimes · 01/11/2017 16:29

No comment on Nigella. Except I still think she's too thin, had too much botox and all the "self-indulgence " re. "emergency brownies" is baloney! But I liked your name *TakeMe2Insanity". We should have a Waitrose cupcake sometime Smile!

LaurieMarlow · 01/11/2017 16:43

I wouldn't have her down as one of the 'too thin' brigade. Her weight fluctuates and she dresses very well, but she's always had a healthy hourglass if you ask me.

babymouse · 01/11/2017 17:11

I saw her yesterday, lit by horrible florescent lighting, and she looked stunning. She was very pleasant and affable. I was surprised how much so really.

LaurieFairyCake · 01/11/2017 17:52

In this latest photo promoting her book she looks nothing like she usually does - looks like masses of fillers and Botox - I’m not against them but I think she looks great in the natural pics above

I genuinely hardly recognise her in this photo

how the flipping heck does Nigella look like that?
stopgap · 01/11/2017 18:02

Probably lots of airbrushing in that picture, but she's definitely had Botox to her forehead and around her eyes and something like Voluma in her cheeks. I think she looks great either way.

skustew · 01/11/2017 21:02

Looks like she's had a couple of eye surgery procedures.

I remember a few years ago she had a series and by the end of it she was noticeably larger. I bet she doesn't live by the eat everything Moto life is too short she spouts. She's on the green juices for breakfast and lunch.

nameusername · 01/11/2017 22:59

She's always been naturally beautiful although I do think her stint in US is when she started dabbling in fillers, botox, etc. unless of course she's taking medication. I've heard it's brutal in the US Film, TV industry (including SKorea) especially if you're a woman. Come to think of it, most of the US TV shows/films features actors and actresses that are slim and picture perfect.
