Nigella Lawson and her fellow The Great British Bake Off stars have a private WhatsApp group called the 'Salty Gang', with Paul Hollywood explaining that the name comes from the new judge's preference for salt and savoury flavours.

Hollywood revealed the group name during an interview with The Guardian, where he and Lawson discussed their new judging partnership. Lawson has joined the programme as a judge for its latest series, replacing Dame Prue Leith alongside returning judge Hollywood.
