As Britain’s Domestic Goddess, Nigella Lawson is heralded as a role model for curvier ladies.<\/p>\n

But despite her voluptuous figure and superb cooking skills, even Miss Lawson has some flaws.<\/p>\n

The celebrity cook, 51, was spotted showing off her rather painful looking bunions as she shopped in Sydney yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"Ouch:<\/p>\n

Ouch: Nigella Lawson’s bulging bunions were clearly visible as she shopped in Sydney yesterday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Protruding:<\/p>\n

Protruding: Lawson’s decision to wear FitFlops was wise given her prominent bunions<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wearing a pair of silver sequinned FitFlops, the swelling joints were clearly visible as she visited stores in the Bondi area of the city.<\/p>\n

It appears years of wearing high heels have taken their toll on Lawson’s feet.<\/p>\n

The mother-of-two has long been a fan of towering stilettos – even admitting to wearing them in the bedroom as part of her seduction technique.<\/p>\n

A bunion is a bony bump at the base of the big toe joint. This becomes painfully inflamed when shoes rub against it – a problem made worse by high heels which throw the body weight forward.<\/p>\n

\"Taking<\/p>\n

Taking care of her feet: Lawson was wearing a pair of FitFlops – which claim to ‘help realign ground force reaction closer to your joints’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A bunionectomy can be offered to correct it, which involves the surgeon cutting into the toe joint then re-aligning the toe bone and securing it with screws.<\/p>\n

Such a procedure would mean taking time off from work and the patient isn’t allowed to wear heels for months.<\/p>\n

Lawson isn’t alone – Victoria Beckham and Oprah Winfrey are just a few of a host of stars who suffer from the swelling of the foot joint.<\/p>\n

After years in towering heels, Beckham had very prominent bunions on both feet.<\/p>\n

\"Chillaxing:<\/p>\n

Chillaxing: Earlier that day, Lawson relaxed on Bondi Beach with a friend<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But last year, she played down how painful they were: ‘The attention on my feet really was embarrassing. I think I’ll have to have the surgery, but I’ve heard it’s most painful.<\/p>\n

‘They touched it up to make it look worse. If my feet were as bad as all that, I wouldn’t be able to wear these fabulous shoes by Brian Atwood.’<\/p>\n

Lawson has been in Australia since last month where she had been promoting her books and also appearing on the country’s version of Masterchef.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, she was photographed covered up in a burkini on the beach to protect her porcelain skin from the potential damage from the hole in Australia’s ozone layer.<\/p>\n

\"Cover<\/p>\n

Cover up: Lawson drew stares as she wore a burkini on Bondi Beach earlier this week<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
