Paul Daniels Jnr previously hit out at Debbie McGee’s claim that “everything is fine” between them amid their row about the late magician’s estate.
The pair are said to have been at loggerheads ever since Daniels died of a brain tumour in 2016 and left the vast majority of his wealth to his widow.
In a 2021 interview, Debbie suggested the pair had settled their differences in preparation for the fifth anniversary of her husband’s death.
However, Paul Jnr scoffed at the suggestion, claiming his dad’s widow only thinks of herself.
Why is there a rift between Paul Daniels Jnr and Debbie McGee?
In February 2021, former Strictly star Debbie, 65, told the Mirror she would be meeting up with Paul Jnr and his two brothers to scatter Paul’s ashes near his Berkshire home.
She said: “Paul Jnr will be invited and everything is fine between us now. He was always a naughty boy!”

However, in an interview weeks later, also with the Mirror, Paul Jnr denied that any such peace had been made.
He said: “First I’ve heard of it. She doesn’t have my phone number, email or address, so how is she going to invite me? It’s just more of, look how nice I am.”
Paul Jnr has no ‘memento of his dad’
When the magician died, he is reported to have left the vast majority of his £1.5 million fortune to his wife of 28 years – including the party shop that Paul Jnr ran.
According to reports, Debbie – on Tipping Point Lucky Stars this weekend (August 25) – then sold the shop, allegedly leaving Paul Jnr almost homeless.
And Paul Jnr claimed that his stepmum hasn’t given him anything to remind him of his father.
He said: “I’m sure if we had made up, she would have allowed me to have a memento of Dad, which she hasn’t, not even a pair of cufflinks.”
Paul Jnr also criticised Debbie for using camera tricks in a TV advert she did for a kitchen company.
He insisted that his dad never used camera tricks in his act.
He added: “The only person she cares about is Debbie McGee.”
ED! has contacted reps for Debbie about this story.
Debbie’s response
Debbie hasn’t responded to Paul Jnr’s claims. However, the reports came just days after Debbie remembered her husband on the fifth anniversary of his death.
Posting to Instagram, she said missed “the joy he gave me but thankful if all the years of love and laughter”. She added: “Huge love to his Sons & Grandchildren.”
She also appeared on Kaye Adams’ podcast in November 2022. In the chat, she said she was selling Paul’s magic trick props. At the time, she also shared there are certain heirlooms that will be passed down to her late husband’s family members – but she has not sorted it out yet.
Addressing her decision, Debbie said: “I feel I should pass his legacy on. I think it’s unfair of me to store it all in the shed.
“So his sons, grandsons, nephews – there are certain things they’re going to get. Some now and some when I go. I haven’t sorted that.”
Tipping Point Lucky Stars is on Sunday August 25 at 4pm on ITV1.
