Lid is lifted on Charles Saatchi's strange habits by Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo, he and Nigella Lawson's ex aides Charles Saatchi arrives at Isleworth Crown Court in one of his identical suit and tie combos. CHARLES Saatchi is a creature of habit, according to his former housekeepers, wearing one of his 12 identical $1900 suits everyday. Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo, who have been cleared of defrauding Saatchi and ex-wife Nigella Lawson, have lifted the lid on what it was like working for the multi-millionaire ad man. The sisters said Saatchi would always team his Paul Smith suits with one of 25 white shirts from Prince Charles's shirt-maker Turnbull & Asser. He also once ordered his staff to buy 12 Apple TV remote controls so that he could always find one. Similarly with his hair gel, his assistants had to buy 60 tubes of the $55 gel so he wouldn't ever run out. The Grillo sisters had to ensure he had stockpiles of cloudy lemonade and Frappuccinos from Starbucks. If it is a weekday Saatchi will be lunching at Montpeliano in Knightsbridge, West London but on the weekends he likes the same table at Scott's in Mayfair - where he was photographed grabbing Lawson's throat earlier this year. The Grillos would start work at 6am every day in order to hide evidence of Lawson's late night cooking as Saatchi insisted the kitchen should always be spotless. Then at 7am they would serve him the same breakfast everyday of burnt toast and weak tea. Elisabetta Grillo (L) and Francesca Grillo arrive at Isleworth Crown Court in Isleworth, England. The Italian sisters, have lifted the lid on what it was like working for Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi. Even in summer, the Grillos said, Saatchi would insist the heat was turned on, even if that meant opening all the windows and he hated dark rooms, so every light in the house was normally on. They also told how the favourite possession of Mr Saatchi and his then wife Nigella Lawson was a stuffed bulldog called Narles - a combination of both their names. The Grillos were last week cleared of a 695,000-pound ($1270) credit card fraud against their former employers.
