Nigella Lawson\'s daughter helped her to find happiness again after her divorce.
The 59-year-old TV chef had an acrimonious split from Charles Saatchi, 76, in 2013 after 10 years of marriage and Nigella said her daughter Cosima Diamond, 25 - from her first marriage to the late John Diamond - helped her cope.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, she said: "I have been forced to be guarded. I used to be more open and I\'d like to think I will be again.
"Cosima said to me, \'Mum, would you rather be a real person like you or someone who has hair and make- up done to go to the supermarket? It is better to be a real person.\' She\'s right."
Nigella also praised her son Bruno for his support, but admitted that both of her children love to tease her too.
She said: "When I am on TV I cook the food that I cook at home but my children always tease me. I do a running commentary at home of my life like I do on TV."
Meanwhile, Nigella previously admitted that moving on after her split from Charles was tough, for a number of reasons including financial.
She admitted: "I had to start my life again at 53, get a mortgage at an age when you\'re supposed to be paying it all off.
"I do have to work. But I only do a TV programme every other year. It\'s not like I\'m there all the time."
