A former boyfriend of Charlotte Church was sentenced to 12 years in prison yesterday after a police raid at a house uncovered heroin with a street value of almost £10 million.

Detectives from the Met's Central Task Force raided the three-bedroom house where Mr Johnson was living in Meath Road, Forrest Gate, east London in December last year.
