Tulisa has been arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs after allegedly arranging the sale of £800 worth of cocaine.
The singer and former 'X Factor' judge - Tulisa Contostavlos - was exposed for allegedly facilitating the sale of £800 worth of cocaine by The Sun newspaper on Sunday (02.06.13) and police officials have now pressed charges against the 24-year-old star.
In a statement, Scotland Yard said: "Officers have today arrested two people, a 35-year-old man (A) and a 24-year-old woman (B), by appointment at a central London police station on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
"They remain in custody at a central London police station."
Officers raided the £6million Hertfordshire mansion Miss Contostavlos is believed to be renting and were seen leaving with two bags. She returned to the property at 6.30pm.
Police officials said yesterday they were "considering" information provided by the newspaper which alleged that she had arranged for her friend to supply half an ounce of the Class A drug to an undercover reporter.
In a taped sting operation, Tulisa reportedly admitted she could arrange for cocaine and cannabis - which she refers to as "white sweets" and "green sweets" - to be delivered to the reporter.
She said: "Half my phone book sells it. Of course I can get it for you.
"Half the guys I know are drug dealers. One's a massive cocaine dealer. He's my best friend.
"We talk in lingo. Like we know what. I can't call him and go, 'Have you got any?' I'll say, 'Hi, have you got any sweets?' ... And I'm referring to what he knows is what. Like we have a whole lingo."
It is then claimed she put the reporters in contact with a friend, rapper Mike GLC, who then allegedly sold half an ounce of cocaine worth £800 to them at London’s Dorchester Hotel.
Four officers – two men and two women – arrived at Miss Contostavlos’s three-storey mock Georgian manor house in an unmarked Ford Mondeo just after 3pm.
They left an hour later after being let in by her personal assistant Gareth Varey, who shrugged his shoulders when asked about her arrest.
