Nigella Lawson
Viewers have posted messages on the BBC's Points of View website accusing the 47-year-old of piling on the pounds as she whips up high-calorie recipes.
They have complained that the star has visibly gained weight since the opening episode, with last week's show revealing a pot belly.
One poster is quoted in the Daily Mail as writing: "There's no beating about the bush - she's a porker. And no wonder, when she was shovelling those candies down her neck the other night - before she got to her destination for dinner. What sort of an example is she with her weight and her appetite for high-calorie sweets and cream?"
The BBC2 series has seen Lawson prepare rocky road marshmallow crunch bars, doughnut French bread, buttermilk chicken drumsticks, fried lamb chops and caramel croissants.
