The millionaire who illegally built “Britain’s best man cave” could be facing jail once more.
Graham Wildin, 70, was dubbed an “arrogant little twerp” after he built a 10,000sqft leisure complex at the back of his home in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, without planning permission.
The accountant repeatedly refused to have the garden extension knocked down. It boasts a bowling alley, casino and a cinema.

He was jailed for six weeks last year for failing to comply with a court order mandating that he get rid of it.

He was told he must comply with the court order and tear down the inside of the building within 18 weeks of his release, so that it would at least be left unusable.
The deadline passed on Friday (January 27) and while some removal vans were spotted at Wildin’s home in recent weeks, it is unclear whether he has managed to fully soft-strip the man cave.
If it is not fully stripped he could be looking at another jail spell.

However, officials might delay a decision on the matter until after Wildin’s appeal against the prison term at the Court of Appeal on March 1.
One neighbour said earlier this month: “He’s got a couple of white vans there, and we think he’s been putting stuff in them.
“He loads some items into them, they’ve not moved at all in that long, but we are under the impression that as soon as the council comes to check if the interiors of the building have been stripped – he’s going put everything back in again.
“He thinks he’s being clever – but he’s not that clever. We can see everything he does.”

People have slammed Wildin online. One comment read: “How much is this man costing the tax payer?”
Another said: “I blasted well hope so, arrogant little twerp.”
But not everyone was so critical of the pensioner. One comment read: “Poor sod – why cant people just leave him alone [sic].”
A FODDC council spokesman said: “This is an ongoing legal matter and the council will continue to pursue it.”
The Daily Star approached Wildin for comment.
