Jackie ‘O’ Henderson on Nigella Lawson’s ‘diva moment’ claiming she ‘stormed out’ over Woolies cake

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has taken a dig at Nigella Lawson just days after the British cook failed to appear on her radio show.

Nigella, 62, reportedly refused to appear on the Kyle And Jackie O show on Friday, leaving her fellow My Kitchen Rules judge Manu Fieldel to face the radio duo alone.

Discussing Nigella’s no-show during Monday’s broadcast, Jackie told her co-host Kyle Sandilands: ‘I think she can be quite precious is what I’ve heard.’

Jackie, 47, went on to speculate that Nigella may dislike their radio show due to an incident that occurred while they were working for Southern Cross Austereo back in the early 2010s.

‘I remember when we had an interview with her at 2Day FM… we were really excited about her coming in,’ she said.

Jackie claimed producers asked Nigella to participate in a ‘cake challenge’ where she would have to guess which cake was bought from Woolworths and which was bought from a patisserie.

‘That doesn’t seem like a hard challenge. That’s easy!’ Kyle interjected.

Jackie continued: ‘I know! Anyway, she walked out. And when I say ella ‘ella walked out’ I mean ella stormed out and said she would never, ever speak to the show again.’

Suddenly losing his temper, Kyle shouted: ‘She can shove it in her a** then!’

Jackie said she believes the cake saga is why Nigella hasn’t visited them for an interview about My Kitchen Rules.

‘I think that’s where it comes from, but I also think that’s being very precious. I mean, why would you get upset about that? It’s not like we’re trying to catch her out, it’s not like it’s [Nigella’s] own cake! It’s just two store bought cakes for a bit of fun,’ she insisted.

Kyle’s rage only grew, as he declared: ‘Who cares what she thinks? [She is] barely relevant anyway!’

‘Who cares what you think, cooking your pasta. Nothing a bit of KanTong can’t replicate. It’s the same thing,’ he added, referring to the budget Asian-style sauce brand.

It comes after Kyle slammed Manu on his radio show after the pair had a tense chat live on-air.

During the show, French chef Manu, 48, awkwardly said goodbye to Kyle after being grilled about his new co-host Nigella Lawson and why she didn’t want to do the interview with him.

After Jackie mentioned how uncomfortable the interview was, Kyle blasted the culinary star, saying: ‘Who gives as**t what he’s sick and tired of talking about!’

Kyle then ranted about Manu promising that ‘no topic was off limits’ on their KIIS FM show.

‘I’m not here to facilitate other people’s s**t. I like Manu, he can come on and I like the show [MKR]but I’m very shocked about the Nigella [Lawson] thing.’

‘The end was very awkward, I wasn’t sure what was going on there guys? But whatever,’ Jackie O said.

‘What do you mean? I think he felt embarrassed by his co-host (Nigella) let him down, ‘Kyle shot back.

‘Or he’s sick of talking about it,’ Jackie said.

During the chat, Kyle wouldn’t stop probing Manu about why Nigella was a no-show.

‘What’s her problem, apparently I hear, correct me if I’m wrong producers, the network is upset because Nigella’s team said “no way, you’re not going on that filthy show.” Our show, how does that happen?’ Kyle asked.

‘I have no idea, that’s news to me buddy! I will make sure she talks to you next time,’ Manu said with a laugh.

‘I think you’re just being upset for no reason, Kyle,’ Manu added, keen to get off the subject.

Kyle said he thought Nigella was a ‘sweetie’ but isn’t a fan of her management team.

‘Can you sort her team out…’ Kyle asked Manu towards the end of the chat, which was greeted with awkward silence.

Nigella is joining Manu on the My Kitchen Rules reboot this year, replaced disgraced chef Pete Evans.

My Kitchen Rules returns to Seven on Sunday at 7pm.
