ARRESTED: Andy Coulson
FORMER Downing Street communications chief Andy Coulson was arrested today on suspicion of phone hacking and corruption.
The 43-year-old ex-editor of the News of the World was held at a south London police station this morning, sources said.
The arrest piles further pressure on the Prime Minister, who gave him a job at No 10 despite his association with the scandal.
