Does Nigel Slater Have a Partner?

Nigel Slater, a British food writer and cooking show host, is known to be very secretive about his personal life, and information about his relationship status is unreliable and inconsistent. He is said to have joked about being gay as a publicity ploy, yet the contention that he is heterosexual is refuted in the New York Times' review of the play based on Slater's book, "Toast," which relates a scene in which Slater's father accurately infers that Slater is gay.
