Police are to review TV cook Nigella Lawson's admission that she took cocaine. The 53-year-old "Domestic Goddess" revealed during the fraud trial of her two former assistants that she took the class A drug twice.
Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo were mobbed by photographers as they arrived at Isleworth Crown Court this morning.
The pair are alleged to have used company credit cards from their employers Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi to spend £685,000 on themselves.
The jury of seven men and five women were sent out yesterday morning after a three-week trial at Isleworth Crown Court in west London.
The Grillos, of Kensington Gardens Square, Bayswater, west London, each deny a single count of committing fraud by using a company credit card for personal gain between January 1 2008, and December 31 last year.
Celebrity cook Nigella Lawson said she was "disappointed but unsurprised" after her two former personal assistants were cleared of fraud.
The revelations that emerged in the fraud trial of two former aides to Nigella Lawson are unlikely to damage the TV chef's meteoric career.
Nigella "let the children smoke weed," an ex-PA has alleged, admitting she had wanted to drop drug claims out of sympathy for her ex-boss.
