Saatchi accepts assault caution for Nigella ‘tiff’

Art collector Charles Saatchi said he had accepted a police caution for clutching his wife Nigella Lawson’s throat to stop the altercation “hanging over” them.

The 70-year-old spoke out for a second time following the confrontation with his TV cook spouse, which he has dismissed as “a playful tiff”.

Pictures published in the Sunday People showed him grasping her neck as they sat at a table at a central London restaurant.
