'X Factor' star Ella Henderson's parents have been arrested at their home near Grimsby amid allegations of money laundering, according to reports.

Michelle was arrested at the scene, while Sean was taken into custody in London, police also raided another property he owns near the family home in the village of Tetney.
One neighbour told the MailOnline: "There were police everywhere with cars and flashing blue lights. It was obviously a big raid. The springer spaniel sniffer dogs were out around the house as well."
Another resident said: "This is such a quiet sleepy village. It is hard to understand what is going on."
Humberside Police later confirmed they had arrested a 49-year-old female in connection with money-laundering offences, and that a 47-year-old man had been arrested on their behalf by Metropolitan officers.
