Carrying a black purse, the star appeared to be in jovial spirits as she prepared to go before rolling cameras with a crew in tow.

Despite being a pin-up for men across the globe, she recently revealed to Australia's Daily Telegraph, that liked wearing 'stretchy dresses' for her appearances on Masterchef Australia because it allowed her to 'eat a lot'. 

In a column for The Guardian in 2014, Nigella - whose range of cookbooks have been lauded as enduring bestsellers - admitted she was an accidental food writer.

'I never intended to be a food writer,' she said. 'But perhaps the truth is that everything in life that matters – in the professional arena as with affairs of the heart – cannot be planned...

'I loved food, and felt strongly that cooking (rather like child-rearing, with which I was also much taken up at the time) should not be the preserve of the expert, but restored to its place in the home.

'I am not a chef, nor even a trained cook, but as I feel I must remind people all too often: if you needed a professional qualification to cook, human beings would have fallen out of the evolutionary loop a long time ago.'
