Ouch, those look painful: Nigella Lawson shows off her bunions Down Under

By Ben Todd


Ouch: Nigella Lawson's bulging bunions were clearly visible as she shopped in Sydney yesterday


She raised eyebrows when she covered up her body for a trip to the beach earlier this week.

But Nigella Lawson may have been wishing she had kept her feet hidden as she went shopping yesterday.

The Domestic Goddess unwittingly revealed a large bunion on her left foot as she strolled with a friend in Sydney.

Protruding: Lawson's decision to wear FitFlops was wise given her prominent bunions


Wearing a pair of silver sequinned FitFlops, the swelling joints were clearly visible as she visited stores in the Bondi area of the city.

It appears years of wearing high heels have taken their toll on Lawson's feet.

The mother-of-two has long been a fan of towering stilettos - even admitting to wearing them in the bedroom as part of her seduction technique.

A bunion is a bony bump at the base of the big toe joint. This becomes painfully inflamed when shoes rub against it - a problem made worse by high heels which throw the body weight forward.

Taking care of her feet: Lawson was wearing a pair of FitFlops - which claim to 'help realign ground force reaction closer to your joints'


A bunionectomy can be offered to correct it, which involves the surgeon cutting into the toe joint then re-aligning the toe bone and securing it with screws.

Such a procedure would mean taking time off from work and the patient isn't allowed to wear heels for months.

Lawson, 51, isn't alone - Victoria Beckham and Oprah Winfrey are just a few of a host of stars who suffer from the swelling of the foot joint.

After years in towering heels, Beckham had very prominent bunions on both feet.

Chillaxing: Earlier that day, Lawson relaxed on Bondi Beach with a friend


But last year, she played down how painful they were: 'The attention on my feet really was embarrassing. I think I'll have to have the surgery, but I've heard it's most painful.

'They touched it up to make it look worse. If [my feet] were as bad as all that, I wouldn't be able to wear these fabulous shoes by Brian Atwood.'

Miss Lawson – who is married to advertising guru and art collector Charles Saatchi, 67 – is in Australia to film a new series of MasterChef. She will make a guest appearance alongside Rick Stein and Heston Blumenthal.

The celebrity chef is known for showing off her curves in tight-fitting outfits on her television shows.

So it caused something of a stir on Monday when she visited Bondi Beach in a cover-all outfit that resembled a burkini – a swimsuit designed to preserve the modesty of Muslim women.

Day 2 of Nigella's big burkini blunder: Domestic Goddess is back on the beach

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shady: Nigella takes refuge from the sun propped up against a wall on another visit to the beach


Perhaps she had had second thoughts after seeing pictures of herself in the ridiculous all-in-one burkini-style swimming costume. Or maybe a pal had given her some friendly fashion advice.

Whatever the reason, voluptuous Domestic Goddess Nigella Lawson returned to Australia's Bondi Beach wearing considerably less than the head-to-toe get-up she sported the day before.

But it was still markedly conservative for the 51-year-old's usual standards.


Modest: The TV chef was a far cry from her usual glamorous self in a voluminous black sundress


For the TV cook - known for showing of her curves in low-cut and tight-fitting outfits - it seemed like an odd choice to opt for a complete cover-up when she splashed around in the sea with a companion on Monday.

Her outfit was compared to a burkini - a three-piece swimsuit designed to preserve the modesty of Muslim women - with a baseball cap beneath the hood.

Yesterday, however, she appeared to have ditched the all-in-one and instead wore a voluminous black sundress - a frumpy far cry from the usual glamour associated with one of the country's sexiest television stars.

According to sources, Nigella was concerned about being exposed to the late-summer Sydney sun. She seemed to reinforce this sentiment on her second consecutive day on the beach, by resting in the shade and using a wide-brimmed sun hat to protect her from the sun's rays.

Forget to pack the sunscreen, Nigella?

Nigella Lawson donned what resembles a burkini as she hit Bondi Beach in Australia


As a rule, Nigella Lawson is only too happy to show off her voluptuous figure in low-cut outfits.

On a visit to Bondi Beach, however, she went to the opposite extreme.


The 51-year-old Domestic Goddess opted for a full cover-up against the late-summer Sydney sun as she splashed in the water with a companion


Miss Lawson’s outfit resembled a burkini – a three-piece swimsuit designed to preserve the modesty of Muslim women – with a baseball cap beneath the hood.

The explanation was that the fair-skinned star was worried about sunburn. Prompting the question: Why bother going on the beach, then?

The mother-of-three is currently in Australia to film a new series of MasterChef


Despite never training as a chef, she has a value of £7million, selling more than 3 million cookery books worldwide.

Miss Lawson and her second husband, advertising guru and art collector Charles Saatchi, 67, have a combined fortune estimated at £128million.

Just before Christmas they moved into a seven-bedroom £12million home in Chelsea with underground pool.

The kitchen alone cost £500,000, but will double as a TV studio.
