Layer Cake Actress Nicked For Car Tampering

Nathalie Lunghi-Joffe & Cherie Lunghi

It will be easy for police to check if actress Nathalie Lunghi-Joffe is at home after she was ordered to wear an ankle tag when caught interfering with cars near her £1.45m Chelsea home.

The 33 year-old ‘Layer Cake’ star, who comes from a showbiz family, was acting suspiciously around a Range Rover and Vauxhall Zafira.

She is the daughter of actress Cherie Lunghi, 67, and film director Roland Joffe, 74 and is the half-sister of film maker Rowan Joffe, 48.

Lunghi-Joffe, of Rossetti Garden Mansions, Flood Street appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court, where she was represented by a duty solicitor.

She pleaded guilty to interfering with the two vehicles in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on January 5.

Lunghi-Joffe also pleaded guilty to failing to appear for an earlier hearing at City of London Magistrates Court.

She was fined a total of £360 and made subject to a one-month community order, which includes obeying an electronically-tagged night time curfew between 6pm and 6am.
