‘You are sooo slim!’ Nigella Lawson shocks fans after showcasing slimmer figure

Nigella Lawson has shocked fans after posting a recent picture to social media showing off her recent weight loss.

The celebrity chef is well known for not only creating beautiful dishes, but for her stunning hour glass figure too.

But the author and TV star caused quite a stir with her fans on social media this week, after posting a picture to promote her new television series, At My Table.

In the picture the 57-year-old chef can be seen moving around the kitchen preparing a meal for her show. Donning a classic, form-fitting black dress, the mum-of-two smiles as she reached across a camera man, who looks like he's catching her culinary skills on film.

Nigella captioned her picture explaining the scene, revealing it was the second day of filming for the BBC programme, 'Day 2 on set with @robinfox78 on camera for new series, At My Table #atmytable'.

Many fans were excited to hear about the new show, with some revealing how much they were looking forward to watching the new series.

But for many, their attention was more focused on Nigella's svelte frame than her skills in the kitchen, with followers flooding the image with exclamations and questions over how much weight the chef had lost.

One follower said, 'Looking wonderful‼️' whilst another seemed surprised by the mum's weight loss, 'Wow. You have lost so much weight'

Other Instagram users described Nigella as 'fit' and 'very slim', saying, 'Great! Looking fit and fabulous!' and 'Looking great!! very slim 😉. Looking forward to seeing the new series'.

Many agreed, with more social media users noting that she looked 'svelte'.

One fan added, 'looking so svelte Nigella!' whilst another commented, 'You are sooo slim!'.

Another even attempted to guess how much weight Nigella had lost, 'Ooooh darling fabby figure, you look wonderful you sexy chick ! How the hell have you lost the last half a stone ?'

Nigella has lost two stone over the past few years, slimming down from a size 16 to a size 12, although the star says that it's not because of dieting.

Speaking to Good Housekeeping previously she said, 'I have never been on a diet to try to lose weight. I feel like I haven't lost weight, but I'm possibly in better shape.'
