US Takes Hard Stance On International Drug Fiend Nigella Lawson

Nigella Lawson has been banned from the US because of her court confession that she took cocaine.

Humiliatingly, the celebrity cook was stopped from boarding a flight from Heathrow to Los Angeles, the Daily Mail can reveal today.

Her television career in the U.S. - she is a judge on talent show The Taste - is now in peril.

The 54-year-old ‘Domestic Goddess’ was forced to confess under oath during a trial last year that she had snorted cocaine seven times and smoked cannabis in front of her children.

Although Scotland Yard did not act over her confession, the U.S. authorities are taking a tougher stance.

Miss Lawson arrived alone at Heathrow’s Terminal Five on Sunday morning to catch a direct British Airways flight to LA.

She is thought to have checked in and passed security before being told she could not board her plane. She had to return to the first class check-in to arrange to collect her hold luggage.

‘She didn’t seem to say much, but she did not look happy,’ said an onlooker. ‘She could not get on the flight so she had to turn around and leave.’

Miss Lawson is thought to have tried to enter the U.S. by registering online for permission to travel and confirming she had not been arrested or convicted of offences including taking illegal drugs. But the US can also decide to bar foreigners who have committed drugs offences without ever being charged. Would-be travellers can apply to have the ban lifted, but this can take months.

Miss Lawson wrote on Twitter in the early hours of Sunday that she was ‘packing for my holiday’ – including a picture of a sun hat and some Colman’s mustard.

It's been reported that the 38-year-old actress is set to play TV chef Nigella Lawson in a Hollywood film about her recent heartache.

The idea for the movie, which could be released next year, came after the US was left stunned by Nigella's sudden split from her art tycoon husband Charles Saatchi.

According to The Sun, producers have been inundated with scripts and have set their sights on Angelina to portray the mother-of-two.

"Angie had planned to take a lot of time off next year but this role is very tempting," an insider told the newspaper. "She has been gripped like everyone else by all the drama surrounding Nigella these past few months and thinks she is a remarkable woman.

"The story has got it all - and she's as intrigued as anyone else by it."

The film will revolve around the ups and downs of Nigella's personal life and will include the £685,000 fraud trial that saw her two former aides cleared and Nigella admit to having taken cocaine.

The role may be quite a challenge for mother-of-six Angelina who once said: "I don't cook. It's the one thing I can't do."
