TV cook Nigella Lawson 'stopped from flying to US'
Television cook Nigella Lawson has been stopped from flying to the United States after admitting she took cocaine, the Daily Mail reports.
Ms Lawson was apparently barred from boarding a flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles at the weekend.
During the trial of her and ex-husband Charles Saatchi's personal assistants, the 54-year-old admitted to taking the class A drug.
An eyewitness told the newspaper Ms Lawson attempted to board a British Airways flight but was turned away.
The onlooker said: "She didn't seem to say much but she did not look happy. She could not get on the flight so she had to turn around and leave."
A spokesman for the television cook refused to comment on the report.
