Nigella Lawson has denied claims that she will not leave a penny to her children when she dies.
Reports this week suggested that the TV chef would be leaving her children out of her will, after she spoke about the dangers of financial security in an interview.
"It ruins people not having to earn money," she said. "I argue with my husband Charles, because he believes that you should be able to leave money to your children."
However, Nigella has now distanced herself from the remarks by releasing a statement on her website.
"Of course I have no intention of leaving my children destitute and starving - rather, this is a story that came from a comment I made about my belief that you have to work in order to learn the value of money," she explained.
"I have always said of my children that once they have finished university or training, whatever education they choose, they have to support themselves through work, as I did, but I have never discussed the details of my will with anyone.
"The story that has been circulating is not a true reflection of my intentions and, although I'd normally ignore it, I want to set the record straight, not least to spare my children continuing embarrassment."
