Nigella Lawson wins Bake Off fans over with Paul Hollywood sparring

9/30 @ 7:34pm by Morten Nielsen

Nigella Lawson has become a firm favourite with The Great British Bake Off viewers after challenging fellow judge Paul Hollywood throughout Biscuit Week

She defended using miso in biscuits, questioned his habit of describing food in moral terms and pushed back on his teasing during the judging

Fans praised her confidence, with some saying she had delivered more useful criticism in two episodes than Prue Leith did over several series

Nigella recently revealed she had reservations about joining the Channel 4 programme, stressing that she is a home baker rather than a technical expert.
