(CBS) Nigella Lawson's neighbors claim they're seeing a lot more than just her cooking.

Those who live near her London mansion say they've seen the celebrity chef in the nude, according to British reports.

The Daily Mail reports that Lawson and her husband, Charles Saatchi, spent a fortune renovating their home in the city's Chelsea neighborhood, including placing a loggia ("a gallery open to the elements," the paper explains) on one of the upper floors with a "luxurious" bathroom beyond.

But, the Mail says, the bathroom does not have frosted glass - leaving "a clear view" into the room.

"It isn't a case of deliberately looking in, but there is a view into the bathroom and anyone glancing in the direction of the loggia from nearby can glimpse what's going on," an observer told the paper.

Lawson "hooted with laughter," the Daily Mail reports, when informed of her so-called "room with a view."

"I had no idea we were overlooked," she said. "Obviously, I will investigate."

I'm surprized they don't take pictures and sell them to the tabloids instead of complaining. Maybe they are doing both. I don't know since I don't read the tabloids.

Oh my goodness! Someone in the nude? How can it be?

Get a bloody life. I walk around nude in my house in the summer in front of uncloaked windows all the time, and if someone can see me, then so what. If they don't want to see me, don't look. If I were as rich as Nigella Lawson, I'd run naked through the streets.

Oh for crying out loud! A person can't even be naked in their own bathroom anymore? Makes taking a shower rather difficult, although it would cut down on the laundry costs. If I saw Nigella in her birthday suit, I would thank my lucky stars. What a woman!

So, what I fail to understand is, why would anyone have an issue with this? Go Nigella!
