Her father, Nigel Lawson, was one of the more famous Chancellors of the Exchequer (holder of the nation's purse strings and organiser of Budgets) in Thatcher's day. During his time as Chancellor, however, all those expense lunches of pate de foie gras and oysters and champers gave him a figure like Mister Creosote.
Then he quit, and went of a diet, and now he looks positively anorexic.
Meanwhile, his daughter Nigella married Charles Saatchi, one of Thatcher's early spin doctor advisors, and he landed her a job in the BBC.
So when they asked her what she can do, she replied that she could cook, and probably she jiggled them, and ... bingo. Job's a good un.
