Nigella Lawson has rubbished the allegations made by her former spouse Charles Saatchi that she is a regular user of drugs.
The TV personality said that what she has in her jewellery box was one of her paternal grandmother's wedding rings, maternal grandmother's wedding ring, some of her mother's jewellery a wedding ring when Saatchi and she got married, and a wedding ring John Diamond got after he got ill, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Lawson had earlier admitted using cocaine seven times and told a UK court that she would rather be honest and ashamed about her past drug use than be bullied with lies.
She claimed that she never knowingly met a drug dealer or exchanged money for cocaine.
The 53-year-old food writer claimed that regular cocaine users do not look like how she looks, as they appear scrawny and unhealthy.
