My niece had the same.
The original key with chip (chip lol, its a small pcb in a glass insert ariel) was spinning on the shaft.
2 options available
1) New non chip key cut, and the chip transferred. £40
2) New non chip key cut, and the old key cut down and the two heads taped together £15
3) Ebay offers some other options as we found out

You cheapest option is to take the chip out and tape it to the ignition barrel, then get a unchipped key cut should be around the £10 mark. OFC if you value the car and want to keep in line with insurance its going to cost more.
