Nigella Lawson admits taking cocaine | Nigella Lawson admits taking cocaine |
(34 minutes later) | |
TV cook Nigella Lawson has admitted taking cocaine, but denies having a drug problem or being an addict. | |
She said she had taken the drug twice, first with her late husband John Diamond when he was terminally ill. | |
The second time was in July 2010 when, she said, she was being "subjected to intimate terrorism" by her ex-husband, Charles Saatchi. | |
She made the admission at the trial at Isleworth Crown Court of her former assistants, who deny fraud. | |
Francesca and Elisabetta Grillos' defence claims they were allowed to spend on credit cards by Ms Lawson in return for covering up her drug use. | |
The case continues. |
