You’ll remember that Nigella Lawson moment from last year that went viral because of the way she said ‘microwave’.

Well now it’s gone viral all over again after it was shortlisted for Bafta’s ‘TV moment of the year’.

She is one of six nominees for the prize, which is voted for by the public (other nominees include Diversity’s Black Lives Matter routine on Britain’s Got Talent).

And while some people were no doubt complaining that the Baftas aren’t what they were, we’re with these people.

I can’t believe I am tweeting this.

I don’t know why there’s any sort of surprise at this being nominated. It’s the only good thing that’s happened in the last 12 months https://t.co/vmiPdiQEIn

From now on I’m just going to refer this as iconic moment as “BAFTA TV Award nominee ‘micro-wav-ay’” fyi. https://t.co/39kNMrJo0U
