She said: “Having a bit of fat on the face helps. I don’t do filler or anything like that. Cosmetic work is a tyranny. I just think there’s no point.”
Nigella also revealed she sees ageing as a privilege after losing her mother, sister and first husband to cancer.
Nigella’s mother Vanessa Salmon, died of liver cancer when Nigella was 25 and eight years later, the star lost her younger sister, Thomasina, to breast cancer at the age of 32.
In 2001, Nigella’s first husband, broadcaster John Diamond – the father of her children, Cosima, 32, and Bruno, 29 – died from throat cancer, at the age of 47.
She explained: “It would be immoral if I complained about ageing – so I don’t. We shouldn’t complain about being old. Life is precious. I’m not saying we can’t all moan about things – I think one has to be allowed to do that.
“A sense of proportion is not always easy to hold onto. Loss is something you have to bear in you.”
