The awkward moment you missed between Samantha Armytage and Nigella Lawson
Nigella Lawson has had an awkward interaction with Samantha Armytage during an interview on Sunrise to promote the celebrity chef’s Australian tour.
The 58-year-old looked oddly uncomfortable in her appearance on the program, which started with Armytage’s co-host David Koch praising her love of ‘naughty’ foods, despite the apparent health food craze that seems to be sweeping the globe.
“There are lots of trends today to suggest that butter is good for you,” Nigella said.
“The point is if you eat a balanced diet and have a healthy relationship with food nothing is necessarily bad for you. I like every food stuff in the world.”
But Armytage was quick to redirect the line of questioning.
“Let me ask you a genuine question now,” she interrupted.
“Oh, you're saying that wasn't a genuine question?” Lawson responded, somewhat perplexed.
Earlier in the interview, Armytage elicited a similarly hesitant response from Lawson when she asked if her friends were nervous about cooking for her. Lawson explained that her friends don’t see her as a celebrity chef, rather a companion.
“I'm not that person to them,” she said.
Lawson is currently touring Australia to promote her book, At My Table.
