The reigning queen of cooking shows Nigella Lawson returned to our screens on Monday evening, loaded with a plethora of foodie adjectives and finger-lickingly good recipes.

We hadn’t seen Nigella’s glorious face take to the kitchen since all that unfortunate business with ex husband Charles Saatchi, but her triumphant return was welcomed with endless enthusiasm on social media.

Even though her opening recipe was a very simple avocado on toast.

Here are 14 people who got a little bit over-excited about Nigella returning to our telly boxes.

1. We’re not getting a little bit OTT or anything, but we think Nigella could give Dave a run for his money.

2. Just look what you’re missing, Saatchi.

3. In other news, this is a great opportunity to use every single food emoji.

4. Oh Nigella, you could do anything and we’d still adore you.

5. She wouldn’t even have to cook and we’d still be all over Simply Nigella like a mashed avocado.

6. She is the indisputable queen of verbs.

7. And the queen of all metaphors too.

8. We take that back. She’s queen of all language.

9. Nigella knows the real struggles we all suffer with every day.

10. Can we be you? Or be married to you? Or live in the same house as you? Or something?

11. She let us in on a little secret from her student days – she “lived off” breast of lamb. Didn’t we all? Between the Domino’s pizza, Pot Nooodles and cheesy chips, that is.

12. Nige doesn’t hold back when it comes to telling us about her kitchen habits. Cheeky.

13. You can always depend on Nigella to find a use for all those old ingredients everybody has lying around.

14. OK we were lying. But now we’re off to Waitrose.

Down with the non-believers. You’re just jealous you weren’t invited to the party.
