Millionaire art collector - Charles Saatchi is divorcing cookbook author and TV chef Nigella Lawson after pictures showed him holding her by the throat as they had an argument on the terrace of a restaurant in June.
The images, which were first published in the Sunday People, provoked a public debate about domestic violence among the rich and famous.
He dismissed the incident as nothing more than "a playful tiff" but then accepted a police caution for assault. He said he had done so to stop the incident "hanging over" them.

He added: "This is heartbreaking for both of us as our love was very deep, but in the last year we have become estranged and drifted apart."
