Nigella Lawson goes viral for pronunciation of 'microwave' leaving people 'flabbergasted'

Nigella Lawson has found herself at the centre of another social media storm.

From cooking a banana skin curry to telling us how to make toast, viewers can't help but comment on the chef's latest creations.

But this time, it's not what she has made what has got people talking. It's her pronunciation of 'microwave'.

Appearing in the latest episode of her BBC  cookery series, Nigella's Cook, Eat, Repeat, Nigella referred to the common kitchen appliance as "mee-cro-wa-vay".

And it has completely blown people away on Twitter.

The person who shared the original clip to the social media platform said: "She has spoken," before adding: "We need to know how it's spelt @Nigella_Lawson. We've been wrong all this time!"

"This moment floored me," commented another.

A third said: "Im flabbergastered."

"Eternally grateful to Nigella Lawson for letting us know we've all been mispronouncing microwave for the last 50 (or so) years," a fourth  joked.

Another added: "Nigella referring to her microwave as a “mick-ro-warvey” is honestly in the top ten moments of the year for me."

"After hearing @Nigella_Lawson pronounce the word ‘Microwave’ my life has changed," a comment also read.
