NIGELLA’S HOT TICKETS
EAGER Nigella Lawson fans crashed her website in a rush to bag tickets for her live tour this autumn… at least according to the self-styled domestic goddess herself.
The 58-year-old announced the news on Twitter yesterday before saying: “Thank you all for your enthusiasm for An Evening With Nigella Lawson. It is heartwarming. It has also crashed the website! You can get tickets from the venues individually till the website is up and running again!”

And she suggests the cultural landscape has shifted so dramatically that any modern-day equivalent would need a complete overhaul. Speaking in her home city of New York, where SATC is of course set, she added: “You know, this city has changed an enormous amount politically and economically and socially and I think it would be a different show, honestly.
“There were no women of colour and there was no substantial conversation about the LGBTQ community.”
