He's a jolly nice bloke and all (rather boring and a tad tedious?).........but he's the sort of chap the Aussies epitomise us Englishmen as being a bit gay.
Ladies. Close your eyes and imagine Nigel. YUK!
Aussie Ladies..Close your eyes and imagine Nigel. Not that way again Bruce! He doesn't do any of us any favours.

I really don't see your problem, one man on tv seems to embody a pathetic Austrailian stereotype of us, so what?
He just comes across as a creepy loner with knives pinning things on the wall like a psycho.
yeah, creepy was the word I was going to use as well.
And Nigella goes to the other extreme with her house always full of her 'friends' as if she spends her time endlessly entertaining and pretentiously showing off to us at home that this is what we should be doing but we can't possibly have as many friends as her or such a big posh house and constantly pouting about how easy it all is, whilst sucking chocolate ganache suggestively off her fingers, not trying to make us feel inadequate that we're not as sexy or as good in the kitchen or able to cook a banquet for a small country. Poor Nigel and his meals for one......:(
Yes I'm sure I read in an article about him in the paper that he's got a partner
Strange that he's doing a series about meals everyday and using leftovers. With the amount he makes he'd be eating the same meal for a week!
I had a giggle last week when he introduced the show saying he doesn't follow recipies and makes things up as he goes along.
That's a nice theme for your new book isn't it
Personally I love his programmes. His food looks great, and achievable.
He is gay, it's already been said. Does it matter if he is?
What do mean you "think he's gay"! He has known he was gay since 9 years old.
"infuses the 9-year-old Nigel, who is bullied by his phlegmatic and abusive father, a factory manager, with a stoic dignity. The boy survives his torment, apparently without psychological damage. Even as a child, he knows who he is. In a poignant moment his father, accurately sensing that Nigel is gay, pre-emptively fires a young gardener on whom the boy has developed an innocent crush."
What are gay men meant to look like?
Not gruesome at all.
No worries, sir. Gracious of you to apologise.
I sometimes think he comes across as a bit dry on TV but his books are great!
Is that Toast? They made it into a drama with Helena Bonham Carter as his step mother.

I really enjoyed that when it was on but didn't some people question the truth of some of his recollections?
Personally, I like Nigel and find his style very relaxing but it is weird the way he presents himself as a complete loner, cooking for one all of the time.
His right hand.;)
