Micro What? Nigella Lawson Finally Responds To Her Viral Video

Days after Nigella Lawson's viral BBC show clip a Twitter user wrote, " Am I the only one who thought @nigella_lawson was being sarcastic when she pronounced Meecro-wave? Now, I'm starting to think she really pronounces it like that?" Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson surprised the internet by commenting, "Well, I do say it like that, but not because I think that's how it's actually pronounced." This left many relieved as Nigella was only joking

The video clip from BBC show Cook, Eat, Repeat which had become the new trending issue showed Lawson pronouncing 'microwave' in a very unconventional way. Nigella while demonstrating the procedure of making a certain baked dish said, 'Mecrowwavy' instead of its general pronunciation.
