Eerie new images have revealed there is “nothing left” of Jimmy Savile’s Highland house of horrors, after plans to bulldoze it ground to a halt.A fresh snapshot from inside the Glencoe lair where the celebrity paedophile is believed to have abused 20 victims show collapsed ceilings, smashed walls and piles of debris left behind by sick trophy hunters in recent days.The property, once visited by King Charles, still sits festering nearly 18-months after a council received controversial plans to bulldoze it and build an ultra-modern new home.Speaking to members of an online group who visit derelict and abandoned properties, Lauren Watt said: “Finally went to see the Jimmy Savile house.“Nothing left of it though.”Other members who have visited the site said the cottage had been “completely wrecked” in recent weeks, with roof tiles torn off and insulation pulled from walls.One explorer said: “Place is probably cursed, but the current owners must be sick of people trashing it.”Another said: “It’s sad as its not justice for the families or hurting (Jimmy Savile)...

would be a nice home for someone regardless.”Savile, who was one of the BBC’s biggest stars, spent decades grooming, molesting and raping children.It’s feared the DJ, who died in 2011, had abused up to 1000 children, with some as young as two years old.Savile first set eyes on the Allt-na-Reigh cottage on a cycling trip in 1944 and lived there from 1998 until his death aged 84.It also featured in the Louis Theroux documentary When Louis Met Jimmy in 2000, when the interviewer spent a week with the star.Savile left orders that the cottage be handed over to the community after his death.
