British TV cook Nigella Lawson has insisted that she is no domestic goddess.
The star, 52, is back with a new BBC2 series, Nigellissima, inspired by the time when she lived in Florence before going to university.
But she said that the domestic goddess tag, which took off after she published How To Be A Domestic Goddess in 2000, did not really suit her.
Lawson, who married art collector Charles Saatchi in 2003, told the Radio Times: "I am messy... Charles says to me that I turn everything into a student doss house. But you can't have two messy people living together."
The TV cook, who had two children, Cosima, now 18, and Bruno, 16, with her first husband John Diamond, told the magazine that she suffered from anxieties about her role as a mother.
