Well maybe she isn’t the worst mum ever, but I’m sure Nigella Lawson’s kids weren’t too happy when they were told they had to give all their Christmas presents to charity!

The celebrity chef told Red that Mimi, 14, and Bruno, 12, were only allowed to chose one gift to keep.

She said: “I don’t want to turn Christmas into a thing about shopping. One year, I was incredibly nasty and strict, and made the children choose a present that they wanted to keep and take the rest to Great Ormond Street. I wanted them to think about how lucky they are.”

The 48-year-old added: “Of course, they roll their eyes every time I start.”
