Nigella Lawson casually dropping in her Drag Queen name while rolling out some pastry dough has well and truly got the festive season going.
The celebrity chef, 63, has gifted us with some pretty memorable moments in TV history – who will ever forget ‘mee-cro-wah-vay’?
And this year’s Christmas special proved to be just as iconic.
Nigella took BBC viewers to Amsterdam for the special episode, which saw her shaking cocktails, cheese tasting and baking Speculaas.
Along the way, she delivered her classic one-liners and innuendos, including demonstrating her ‘very useful nut bashing bag’.
Elsewhere, as she rolled out the Speculaas dough, she mentioned her drag queen name.
And it’s sent the internet wild.
‘My Speculaas dough has rested, as have I, so before I roll it out, I’m going to give this slab a bit of a dusting with my magic wand, or perhaps it’s a bit more of a seasonal sceptre,’ she began.
Opening out the dough, she then said: ‘Let’s unwrap this fat patty – my Drag name.’
‘Boy I love @Nigella_Lawson I want one of those flour dusting wands and her rolling out the dough “my drag name #fatpatty” she’s defo an ally – LOVE HER,’ viewers @steviewhitehead wrote.
‘”Fat patty… my drag name” – comedy genius from @Nigella_Lawson,’ @Chauders0117 agreed.
‘OMG, I’m crying with laughter at what you just said “fat patty”, my drag name hahaha,’ @Lamplight69 said.
Another viewer @itskeithriley echoed: ‘”Fat patty, my drag name” – @Nigella_Lawson is utterly joyful.’
Meanwhile, others were left questioning where to buy Nigella’s ‘magic wand’, after seeing her use it dust flour, while others couldn’t ignore the innuendo.
One viewer @mikedgratton wrote on X: ‘@Nigella_Lawson loves her magic wand eh…? It’s almost a Mickrowarve moment!’
@ashleyking1985 added: ‘Just turned the TV onto BBC1 to Nigella talking about baking parchment and how she loves her ‘magic wand’.’
Nigella’s Amsterdam Christmas is available to watch on BBCiPlayer.
