Craig Houston, who has nearly 70,000 subscribers, was arrested on Friday after a report of an online communication offence.
The charge is understood to relate to a video in which Houston criticised Soryia Siddique, a

In his original video — which has not been removed from
YouTube — Houston accused Siddque of “fanning” racism by complaining that ethnic minorities were underrepresented, saying this was “bonkers”.
