‘Bereft’ Saatchi denies knowing Nigella used drug

The email he wrote to the celebrity chef was read in full to jurors but, when asked if he believed allegations that Ms Lawson was a habitual cocaine user, the art dealer said: “I do not know.”
“If you ask me whether I actually knew whether Nigella ever took drugs, the answer is no,” Mr Saatchi told Isleworth Crown Court in west London, where his former personal assistants are on trial accused of fraud.
