Nigella Lawson, is, to put it frankly, rolling in lovely, filthy dosh. Shacked up with Charles Saatchi, the pair share an estimated £110million fortune as well as a £7million pad in London – though with current house prices being what they are, that's probably just a semi-detached two-bed in Muswell Hill.

So the fact that she ain't leaving a penny to her kids – from her previous marriage to late journo John Diamond – must have come as bit of a blow to little Cosima and Bruno. Seriously, could she not just lend them enough to change their names by deed-poll?

"I am determined that my children should have no financial security," says Nige'. "It ruins people not having to earn money."

It's a move that follows in the footsteps of the Body Shop's Anita Roddick, who gave her £51 million fortune away, and Paris Hilton, who is no longer set to scoop the hotel billions after her grandfather announced he was donating 97% of his fortune to charity. Arf.

As an attempt to stop Nigella's kiddiewinks being spoilt little brats like most of the celeb spawn currently doing the rounds – we name no names – it's commendable, but we'd hate to be chez Lawson at the dinner table tonight...
