Nigella Lawson is back on our screens as a judge on The Great British Bake Off, but something about her approach has got people talking online… it's the way she eats the cakes - taking big bites, with gusto.

Nuala is joined by body confidence activist and author, Alex Light, and personal trainer Laura Ghiacy to discuss.
