Food author and TV chef Nigella Lawson has said she is now too self conscious to say the word "microwave" after her unique take on the word went viral.
A clip of her calling the kitchen appliance a "meecro-wah-vay" circulated online back in 2020.
She was speaking to BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay, who told her many people urged him to ask her about it.
"That's what I call it at home," Lawson said, and joked she called it "the 'you know what' now".
