Nigella Lawson casually tossing in her Drag Queen moniker while churning out some pastry dough has officially kicked off the holiday season.
The famous chef, 63, has given us some of the most unforgettable TV moments in history – who can forget’mee-cro-wah-vay’?
And this year’s Christmas special was just as memorable.
Nigella invited BBC viewers to Amsterdam for the special show, where she shook drinks, tasted cheese, and baked Speculaas.
She gave her typical one-liners and innuendos along the way, including a demonstration of her’very helpful nut pounding bag’.
She also revealed her drag queen identity while rolling out the Speculaas dough.
And it has sparked the internet into life.
‘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.’

Nigella saying her drag name would be ‘Fat Pattie’ is the campest thing I have ever heard. 10/10. No notes. An absolute ally.

Others were left wondering where to get Nigella’s ‘magic wand’ after witnessing her use it to sift flour, while others couldn’t help but notice 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.
