Paul Daniels, one of the leading magicians in the UK, has been the victim of a jewellery theft from his home - while the former TV star was sitting in the front room watching TV.

The 71-year-old did not get too angry over the situation, however, describing the happening as "more of a nuisance than anything else".

Nothing of too significant a value was lost and his wife, Debbie McGee - who was out at an awards ceremony at the time - is not too fussed on such possessions, Paul asserted.

He explained: "What happened is that whilst I was sitting in the lounge, someone climbed up onto the balcony and got in through a window/door up there. They stole a couple of cases and some jewellery."

The entertainer added that the security systems on his Wargrave property have been given a revamp to stop it happening again.

Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee still continue to tour across the UK, performing at a number of venues around the UK this year.
