David Cameron: I'm on Team Nigella

The Prime Minister has admitted that he is on "Team Nigella", after intimate details of the celebrity cook's personal life and her former marriage to Charles Saatchi were revealed in a high-profile court case.

In an interview with The Spectator, Mr Cameron was asked if he was on Team Nigella: "I am," he said. "I’m a massive fan, I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting her a couple of times and she always strikes me as a very funny and warm person, but I’m also an amateur cook and I like like her recipes."

The prime minister added that he and his nine-year-old daughter Nancy "sometimes watch a bit of Nigella on telly. Not in court, I hasten to add."
