Allison Cox, 33, who was hired by Gold to look after her daughter Scarlett at her mansion in Whyteleafe, Surrey, laced two bowls of asparagus soup with the toxic substance in an attempt to get the chef who had prepared it into trouble.

Sentencing her at Guildford Crown Court, a judge said Cox, who also put sugar and salt in Gold’s meals on two other occasions, had demonstrated “calculated and deceitful behaviour” as well as breaching the trust of her employer who had entrusted her to look after her only child.
