ACTRESS Nicole Kidman called police and said her holiday on the south coast of NSW was ruined after media followed her.

Kidman and her husband Keith Urban were angered by celebrity photographer Jamie Fawcett after he photographed them during a holiday at Rosedale near Bateman’s Bay, reported The Daily Telegraph.

Fawcett’s lawyers are due to appear at Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on January 11 over allegations he was linked to bugging Kidman’s home.

An AVO obtained by police on behalf of Kidman against Fawcett over stalking claims was revoked in February 2005 after the case was dismissed.

Fawcett told the Telegraph Kidman rolled down her car window on Sunday and angrily said “f–k off Jamie”.

Batemans Bay Police Inspector Gary Megay said Urban and Kidman had been offered police protection.

“Those roads around Rosedale are very narrow and with paparazzi around we were just making sure everyone was safe,” he said.

He said there were “no issues” with regard to harassment allegations.

Kidman and Urban drove back to Sydney yesterday, spent New Year’s Eve at Kidman’s sister’s home in Greenwich and flew to Los Angeles on Kidman’s private jet early today.
