British TV chef Nigella Lawson’s admitted drug use has landed her in hot water with American authorities — and kept her from boarding a first-class flight from London to Los Angeles, according to a report.
The self-styled “Domestic Goddess” was turned back by British Airways when she arrived at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal Five on Sunday morning, Britain’s Daily Mail reported.
“She didn’t seem to say much, but she did not look happy,” one witness told the paper.
“She could not get on the flight, so she had to turn around and leave.”
The Mail said Lawson was banned from entering the US over her admissions last year that she snorted cocaine several times during her life, and also smoked pot near the end of her troubled marriage to advertising mogul and art dealer Charles Saatchi.
Lawson — a star on ABC’s cooking-competition show “The Taste” — was forced to fess up under oath when she testified at the London trial of two former assistants who were acquitted of defrauding her and Saatchi of more than $1 million.
Scotland Yard investigated Lawson afterward but decided not to press charges, saying it didn’t want to prevent others from testifying truthfully in the future.
In a Twitter post dated Monday, Lawson wrote that she would be “Off line for a while enjoying the ultimate; a holiday break with no signal!” but she hasn’t updated her status since then.
US officials have previously denied visas to other celebs over drug issues, including model Kate Moss, who was infamously photographed apparently chopping up and snorting a white powder in shots published in 2005.
Last year, Page Six exclusively reported that the British beauty couldn’t secure permission to attend a party for Playboy magazine’s 60th anniversary issue — which featured her on the cover — due to the “Cocaine Kate” headlines.
The late singer Amy Winehouse also missed out on collecting five Grammy awards in 2008 and had to appear at the ceremony via satellite from London.
Winehouse publicly struggled with cocaine problems before dying of an alcohol overdose in 2011.
Reps for Lawson and ABC, which airs “The Taste,” didn’t return requests for comment.
