Nigella Lawson arrived at court today as she prepares to give evidence in the trial of two of her former personal assistants.
The TV cook is a prosecution witness in the trial of Italian sisters Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo.
The pair are accused of abusing their positions by using credit cards loaned to them by Ms Lawson and her former husband Charles Saatchi to spend more than £685,000 on themselves.
Ms Lawson, 53, wearing a long dark coat, was greeted by dozens of photographers and television crews waiting outside Isleworth Crown Court in west London as she arrived this morning.
Prosecutors in the trial claim the Grillo sisters lived the "high life", spending the money on designer clothes and handbags from Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Vivienne Westwood.
