Charles Saatchi is worth 100m, but Nigella Lawson still has him carrying her bags

He is one of Britain's richest men, but that doesn't stop him carrying the shopping for the missus.
Celebrity cook Nigella Lawson had her art collector husband firmly at heel as they picked up a few groceries and went out for lunch in London.
Charles Saatchi may be worth millions, but he is not above carrying the shopping bags as he popped out to the supermarket and lunch with wife Nigella Lawson
Domestic Goddess Nigella, 49, carried a single Waitrose shopping bag, while her 66-year-old husband seemed laden down and brought up the rear carrying the rest of the bags.
With an estimated fortune of around £100million, Mr Saatchi could certainly have afforded a supermarket delivery - or someone to do the shopping for them.
Nigella, who is worth a cool £15million herself, stopped to buy a Big Issue after the couple had lunch, bought a Starbucks Frappucino and took a cab to their £7million home in Belgravia.
Nigella buys a Big Issue from a street vendor, and her husband picks up a Frappucino, which he gave up last year while on the 'Saatchi egg diet'
She wore a shapeless black skirt, long-sleeved top and shawl in the sunny weather, covering up her much-envied hourglass figure yet again. But she did team it with a bright blue handbag.
Her husband wore a black suit and white shirt without a tie.
Whether Nigella's supermarket shop contained lashings of butter, cream and other naughty treats is unknown. But it is unlikely to contain a large number of eggs.
Charles gave up his 'all-egg diet' - in which he claimed to have consumed nine eggs a day and lost four stone over 10 months - last year.
The couple, who married in September 2003, ate lunch together, before jumping in a taxi in London yesterday
News of his weight-loss method boosted supermarket sales of eggs as dieters scrambled to copy him.
He claimed he had become 'fat and ugly' on a diet of Starbucks Frappucino's, chocolate bars, cereal and biscuits.
In an interview with The Times earlier this year, he said: 'I am still not much to look at, but I have become cringingly vain and hold the world record for the highest level of cholesterol ever seen in anyone still with a pulse.'
But it is likely their shopping contained plenty of cereal and biscuits.
Nigella once said: “Charles doesn’t really like proper food. He prefers a bowl of cereal. We often climb into bed together with a bowl each of cereal, ice cream and biscuits.'
