The parents of X Factor contestant Ella Henderson have been arrested on suspicion of laundering money, according to reports.
The 17 year-old, who signed to Sony Music and Syco after finishing sixth on the last series of the show, was away in London recording her debut album whilst her parent’s house was hit with a dawn raid - which saw her father Sean and mother Michelle arrested taken away by police. A second house on their street - in the Grimsby area - was also raided.
“There were police everywhere with cars and flashing blue lights. It was obviously a big raid. They had springer spaniel sniffer dogs out around the house as well.”
A police report has since emerged which almost confirms the news, though no names were used. It read:
“Officers from Humberside have this morning executed warrants at two addresses in Tetney. A 49-year-old woman was arrested at one of the addresses and has been taken to Grimsby police station to be questioned in connection with alleged money laundering offences. Inquiries are ongoing at the two addresses. As part of the same inquiry, a 47-year-old man has been arrested by officers by the Metropolitan Police. He has now also been taken to Grimsby police station where he will be questioned by detectives from Humberside.”
Henderson had been tweeting from official account even after the arrests - but since the news has gone public, she hasn’t been on the social networking site, suggesting that she may have not been informed of their arrest until a while afterwards.
