Nigella Lawson has lined up her first UK chat show interview since details of her private life were revealed in a court case - with new host Michael McIntyre.
The cookery star will appear alongside Gary Barlow and adventurer Bear Grylls in the fourth episode of The Michael McIntyre Chat Show.
Singer Gary will chat about his new tour and single, while Nigella will have a "foodie chat around her latest series of books" in the episode screened on BBC One on Monday March 31.
Nigella previously appeared on US TV after her personal assistants were cleared of fraud in a trial which depicted the TV cook, who was a witness in the case, as a cocaine user.
During her testimony in December, Nigella admitted taking the drug in the past but denied being an addict.
Nigella told Good Morning America: " To have not only your private life but distortions of your private life put on display is mortifying, but there are people going through an awful lot worse."
"To dwell on any of it would be self pity, and I don't like to do that."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
