Munya Chawawa’s Nigella Lawson spoof wins the coronation coverage

Forget the coronation quiche, Munya Chawawa’s Nigella Lawson inspired trifle is the dish everyone will want to get on their lips this weekend.

The comedian made his name for parody sketches during the pandemic, and clearly couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get involved in the historic event.

After taking on the domestic goddess in skits before, Munya decided to give it another go when putting together a delectable dessert that could very nearly have been created by Nigella.

In the one-minute video shared to social media, Munya took some creative licence when it came to Nigella’s style, opting wear a tight crop top and trackpants, as well as a tea towel over his head, which was either an interesting choice of accessory or a nod to her flowing locks.

As the video began, Nigella (Munya) was preoccupied looking at some shirtless photos of the young king and was a bit caught off guard when realising she was being watched.

Ever the consummate professional though, she quickly pivoted and put her focus into sharing her carefully crafted recipe.

The ‘Terrific Trifle’ to celebrate the coronation (which was slightly mispronounced in the same vein as microwave) was a saucy affair as Nigella explained that it must begin with a ‘sumptuous symphony of sponge fingers’.

While she explained they could be put on top, she explained that she found people ‘always respond well to a surprise finger in the bottom’ too.

The next ingredients on the list were a ‘princely punnet of strawberries’ and then a ‘jubilant jug of jelly’.

At the same time as running through the recipe, some helpful subtitles suggested Nigella was ‘flirting in five a day’ and ‘defrosting [jelly] sexually’.

Finishing it all up, she said that people often debated which layer should go last.

‘My motto is you’ve never truly finished until you’ve creamed,’ she said, while seductively staring at the camera.

The devilish dessert was promised to ‘even make his majesty come…to your street party’.

In the past Munya has played Nigella several times, which has included sharing her summer smoothie to get through the heatwave, as well as her apparent go-to Christmas dinner.

But while his skits have picked up plenty of fans, Munya also recently hit the small screen after playing King Charles recently.

Earlier this year Munya played him in Prince Andrew: The Musical, a casting choice he joked might have got royalists up in arms.

‘If people are angry about Meghan and Harry doing a documentary…,’ he teased when he was announced as part of the line-up.
