Home cooking legend Nigella Lawson was in Dublin last night and sampled some of Ireland's most iconic food: Tayto crisps.

Nigella Lawson is coming back to British TV for the first time since the breakdown of her marriage and revelations about her private life in a controversial court case.

Police will take no further action against TV cook Nigella Lawson after she told a court that she had taken drugs, Scotland Yard has said.

The father of the two former assistants to Nigella Lawson, who were cleared last month of defrauding her, has been arrested in Italy over alleged links to the Mafia.
