Noel Clarke was arrested today after a 5-hour raid at his home. Police reportedly seized laptops and documents, this comes after was ordered to cover The Guardian £3M in legal fees after losing his libel case.

the Metropolitan police raided the actors family home and even used a dog unit in the search.

It is currently unclear as to why he was arrested and the Met police have refused to confirm details regarding his arrest.

The High Court judge Mrs Justice Steyn in his libel case dismissed his libel case against The Guardian after finding the newspapers allegations of sexual misconduct “substantially true”.

Steyn continued: “It seems to me that the sum of £3m sought by the defendant is appropriate and no more than what ought to be reasonably ordered in this case.

“It is substantially lower than the defendant’s likely level of recovery on detailed assessment and so in my judgment, it does allow for a suitably wide margin of error.”
