Paul Daniels Jnr is understood to have been arrested on suspicion of producing cannabis and abstracting electricity
The son of the late magician Paul Daniels was arrested after police reportedly found a cannabis factory in his home.
Paul Jnr is understood to have been arrested on suspicion of producing cannabis and abstracting electricity at his property in Wigan.
In recent months the 56-year-old has been embroiled in a bitter war of words with his father's widow Debbie McGee, who was handed his £1.5 million estate when the magician died last March.
Paul Jnr has now been released on bail, alongside two other people, according to The Mirror.
A source told The Mirror: 'Police attended the house and found a cannabis factory.
'Since his father's death, Paul Jnr has fallen on really hard times and he's had a major fall-out with his dad's ex-wife Debbie McGee.
'But no-one expected this would happen. Police turned up at his house and he was taken away.'
Magician Paul Daniels died from a brain tumour aged 77 in March last year.
The entertainer left his entire estate to his 58-year-old wife, but there was only £500,000 left after duties and debts were paid.

Mr Daniels Junior said in October 2016 he wanted 'nothing to do with Debbie McGee' after she closed down the magic shop he had opened with his father in Wigan nine years ago.
Mr Daniels Jnr is now unemployed and on the dole.
He is the magician's eldest son from his first marriage to Jacqueline Skipworth.
The pair, who had three sons, divorced in 1975 and Daniels later married Miss McGee.
Miss McGee revealed on Loose Women in October that while she got on very well with her husband's other sons, Martin and Gary, she had never shared a close bond with Paul Jr.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed two men and a woman were arrested at a property in Wigan on January 6.
They have been bailed until February 21.
