Fred and Rose West documentary airs tonight – and reason it was pulled revealed

An explosive documentary on Fred and Rose West will finally air tonight.

ITV dramatically pulled Fred and Rose West: The Real Story with Trevor McDonald from the schedule last month at the last-minute.

But viewers will be able to see veteran broadcaster Trevor McDonald investigate the couple tonight as he revisits the site of the infamous ‘house of horrors’ on 25 Cromwell Street.

Last month’s late cancellation was attributed to ‘legal reasons’, which have seemingly been resolved.

An ITV representative told us: "Broadcast has been postponed for legal reasons and the film will be scheduled for a later date."


The reshuffle means the documentary will finally air tonight on ITV between 9pm and 10pm.

The new documentary will shed new light on the crimes that shocked the nation

The synopsis for the hour-long special says that, for the first time, there will be suggestions that Rose was actually more violent than her husband.

The documentary would also suggest she was “actively involved” in kidnapping victims.

She was the friendly face that lured some of the couple’s 12 victims to their death by helping to kidnap them.

It also follows Fred’s niece as she speeaks out about the ‘unreal’ moment her teenage cousin’s body was found on another TV programme marking the anniversary of the killings.


There are exclusive interviews with people who have not spoken before publicly about the serial killings.

This includes the heartbroken sisters of one of Fred and Rose West’s victims , who appeared on This Morning last month in an emotional interview.

18-year-old Juanita Mott was murdered by the pair after disappearing in 1975.

Belinda Mott said she wanted a "very slow electric chair" for Rose, while Mary-Ann Mitchell revealed that she wanted her sister’s killer to "rot in hell".

*Fred and Rose West: The Real Story airs tonight on ITV at 9pm
