The Sunday People has today unveiled pictures of TV chef Nigella Lawson having her throat squeezed by husband and advertising tycoon Charles Saatchi.
It was reported that Saatchi used one hand and then both to grab his wife during a heated debate in which ‘nobody intervened’.
The pictures, which appeared on the front page of the Sunday People and are rife of the internet, has led to some people taking to Twitter to denounce Saatchi.
Those #Nigella photos make for grim Father's Day viewing. If I was Charles Saatchi's child I would be horrified.

So a tabloid describes Saatchi as 'grunpy' after strangling Nigella in public. Then we get a lovely run down of their dress for the day. Ugh

Almost more shocking than Saatchi attacking Nigella in a public place is that no-one intervened to stop him or check if she was ok.

There is something not quite right with the Nigella Lawson and her husband Charles Saatchi chocking her story. Maybe I'm being naive
