Nigella Lawson stars in the new Typhoo advert

The brunette beauty stars in the new Typhoo advert and discovers the nation's favourite way to drink the delicious brew in a series of scenes, including in the back of a London black taxi and in a tent on a stormy mountainside.

A miniature sized Nigella is then seen sipping Typhoo from a giant mug while looking around for a slice of cake, and is wearing an eye-popping red dress in the promo video.

The 57-year-old chef admitted she has a ritual when it comes to her own cuppa, revealing: ''I often drink my tea with the teabag still in the mug.''

And she confessed she might struggle to share if she found herself with only two teabags left.

She added: ''I have a terrible feeling that I might keep both for myself.

''But if there were anyone near me gasping for a cuppa, I'd like to think that actually I'd give it away happily.''

Typhoo CEO Somnath Saha is delighted to have the celebrity chef on board and added: ''We're so happy to have Nigella - a genuine Typhoo lover - working with us again.

''We all know the perfect cup of tea is a very personal thing, and everyone's taste is different.

''This campaign celebrates those subtle, but significant, preferences.''

The 30-second advert debuts on TV screens on May 12 and will be shown during 'Take Me Out' on Saturday on ITV.
