Jack's spokesman didn't comment on the arrest but confirmed that a lawyer had been hired to represent his client.
Jack and Jade married weeks before her death in March, and he's said he hasn't dealt well with losing his wife.
"I don't really know how I'm bearing up at the moment. I'm drinking quite a lot, which I shouldn't be," Sky News cites him as saying last month.
"I shouldn't be saying it but I don't want to lie to anyone and I am drinking quite a lot and I've got to go and see someone or I've got to stop."
