David Cameron is on #TeamNigella Last month Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, questioned whether Mr Cameron had taken cocaine whilst heckling him in the House of Commons. Later Mr Cameron's spokesman refused to deny that Mr Cameron had taken the drug. He added: "Nancy [Cameron's nine-year-old daughter] and I sometimes watch a bit of Nigella on telly. Not in court, I hasten to add. Ms Lawson admitted her drug use at the trial of Francesca Grillo and her sister Elisabetta Grillo, who worked for Miss Lawson for more than a decade. They deny defrauding Mr Saatchi out of £685,000 they spent on the credit cards. During cross-examination Miss Lawson admitted to having taken cocaine on six occasions with her late husband John Diamond when he was in the final stages of cancer and seeking escape from pain and worry and once again in 2010 when she was having difficulties in her marriage to Charles Saatchi. Mr Saatchi had previously reffered to Ms Lawson as a "Higella" in an email about her alleged drug use. She also admitted having smoked cannabis in front of her children. Ms Lawson said of the drug use she would rather be "honest, if ashamed" than "bullied by lies.
