Nigella posted the outtakes from her Christmas Special and it just made us love her even more
Forget Mariah. It just isn’t Christmas until we’ve seen Nigella Lawson creating a delicious feast in her beautiful yet somehow cosy kitchen, and as her Amsterdam Christmas Special landed on Thursday night, it’s tiii-iime!
Get your drinks and schnacks ready! Nigella’s Amsterdam Christmas (that’s its official title – I haven’t decided to refer to myself by name as a matter of course) begins at 8 on @BBC1 and @BBCiPlayer. I won’t be live-tweeting, but will catch up with you all later!

People treated it like the event it truly is, sharing comments like these.
Lovely Nigella gives the lonely a boney.

.@Nigella_Lawson kicking off her Amsterdam Christmas special by making a cocktail called The Amsterdamage is the exact level of camp I was hoping for. 10/10, no notes. #NigellaChristmas

If you missed the broadcast, you can catch up with it on iPlayer, but you don’t have to do that to see the bloopers, because Nigella posted them on Twitter/X.
Watch what went ‘wrong’.
Just so you know what my crew actually have to put up with, an outtakes reel! Merry Christmas, all! And thank you for watching xxx

It looks like they enjoy making the show as much as we enjoy watching it – but they also get to eat that food, so they’re the clear winners. The outtakes just made people love Queen Nigella even more.

Bloopers can be the highlight of working on any set. A comedy of live errors. https://t.co/JsCzSS2pxa

It’s actually not a @Nigella_Lawson programme if we don’t have outtakes.
It’s tradition. https://t.co/iSZ2NZS8HA— John Bond (@johnbond75babe) December 21, 2023

This is hilarious. Sometimes, we (the viewers) forget how much effort actually goes into making these shows, but it's heartwarming to see the team enjoying themselves so much.

James Bucknall praised the content of the outtake clip.
Lovely to hear genuine laughter. Such a good tonic.
— James Bucknall (@james_bucknall) December 21, 2023
Nigella’s response confirmed what we already suspected.
Thank you, James. It’s fostered by the atmosphere on set. I always feel that the genuine closeness of the crew and me, and the glee with which we work together, somehow shows on screen

It was also a Christmas episode that gave us this unforgettable TV moment.
