An outrageous new documentary will expose the horrors inflicted by Fred and Rose West on ITV, however it has been postponed for legal reasons.

Sir Trevor McDonald was due to give a new insight into the House of Horror’s murders tonight (Thursday, January 31).

The documentary will include allegations made by the couple's youngest son, Barry who has claimed that his mother took part in Fred's murders.

It is believed that the couple raped, tortured and murdered 12 woman and girls between 1967 and 1987 - including their own daughter Heather.

Fred West killed himself after being put on remand accused of murdering 12 girls and women in 1995 while wife Rose, remains locked up at Low Newton prison in County Durham.

Fred and Rose West: The Real Story with Trevor McDonald was set to air on ITV from 9pm however a post on Twitter confirmed that the programme had been 'pulled'.
