TV presenter Nigella Lawson will face no further action by police over her admission that she used drugs.
During her testimony at a fraud trial involving her personal assistants, she admitted taking cocaine in the past but denied being an addict. The Met said a team had investigated the evidence and decided a prosecution would not be in the public interest. It said any action could deter witnesses from giving evidence in future trials. Sisters Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo were cleared of defrauding Ms Lawson and her former husband Charles Saatchi. At the trial, Ms Lawson said she took cocaine with her first husband John Diamond when he found out he had terminal cancer, and in July 2010 in the later years of her marriage to Mr Saatchi. – BBC Entertainment
