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 down under to film a new series of MasterChef, on which she will be making a guest appearance alongside Rick Stein and Heston Blumenthal.
Renowned for her flirtatious manner of presenting, Lawson has been called the ‘queen of food porn’.
She is often seen spilling out of her dresses during parties and regularly opts for racy outfits during her cookery shows.
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.
