Nigella Lawson fans shocked after chef makes very saucy ‘cumin’ joke
The TV star, 58, was asked about cumin seeds - and her response was rather controversial
SPICY Nigella Lawson has been forced to defend herself after making a VERY naughty joke about cumin.
The telly favourite, 58, was responding to a follower who asked her if she's a "mad fan of cumin seeds".
The person wrote: "Hi @Nigella_Lawson. My daughter, having studied your recipe books intently, is convinced you are a mad fan of cumin seeds and that they permeate your cooking. Is that correct?"
Nigella replied: "I certainly love cumin."
And Lawson's cheeky followers couldn't get enough the responses - it's already been liked over 1600 times and has over 700 retweets.
One fan wrote: "Don't we all Nigella hun xox"
Another said: "Just spat me gin out 😂😂😂"
But when one person crowned Nigella of being "the queen of the double entendre," she stepped in to defend herself - and scold her fans for having such dirty minds.
Nigella wrote: "No double entendre intended in the slightest. What’s wrong with you all?"
And when another accused Nigella of using innuendo, she replied: "Nonsense".

Nigella has previously insisted she doesn't use double entendres on her various TV cooking shows.
She was quizzed on some of her most memorable quotes during a recent interview on Australian TV show The Project.
Co-host Hamish Macdonald said to Nigella: “I was really intrigued to read you rejecting all of the analysis of your cooking shows.
“All these kind of innuendo, you saying, ‘I don’t do it on purpose, it’s not part of the plan'.
“But I’ve got some quotes!"
Hamish then repeated some of Nigella's best quotes back to her: "'My empty vessels are ready to be loaded' and 'I adore the way it comes bulging over the rims'.”
But Nigella was having absolutely none of it, and became quite annoyed with Hamish.
She defensively replied: “No, no, no, no, but why, why, tell me this ... why?”
The co-host responded: "You have this way of saying things."
Nigella retorted: “I have this way of people projecting things on me. I don’t get it. I need you to explain to me.”
