Nigella Lawson has been Britain’s most beloved domestic goddess for about 15 years but the celebrity chef has endured her fair share of lows in the past year.
After photos emerged of her then-husband Charles Saatchi choking her last year, Nigella’s personal life went into freefall.
A bitter court battle followed which saw Nigella admit her drug use while Saatchi and her former assistants did their best to destroy her reputation.
