A MILLIONAIRE who illegally built the UK’s “biggest mancave” has infuriated his neighbours again despite appearing to bow to pressure.
Graham Wildin, 70, was banged up for six weeks in August after refusing to tear down his massive extension.

The huge mancave in Cinderford, Gloucestershire, boasted a bowling alley, squash court, cinema, casino and bar.
But has repeatedly refused to knock down the extension, which he never got planning permission for.
Removal vans have now finally been spotted outside Wildin’s home after his jail release – but locals remain cynical.
They have also slammed the loaded accountant for parking his fleet of sports cars on the road to make their lives “difficult”.
One said: “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 gunna put everything back in again.”
The neighbour said they believe Wildin thinks he’s being “clever” but they can see everything he is up to.
They added: “In the meantime his cars are still there, he parks his sports cars all up and down the road to make life as difficult as possible for all of us.

”It makes parking our cars a nightmare, especially if we have more than one car.”
Wildin was ordered by the courts to destroy the complex in April last year.
It came following a lengthy legal battle between the accountant and the council.
Officials have vowed to continue their fight to tear down the entire mancave.
But Wildin is currently fighting against the judge’s decision to jail him -meaning the council may need to wait for the outcome of the appeal before they proceed.
That hearing is scheduled to take place at the Court of Appeal on March 1.
A Forest of Dean Council spokesman said: “This is an ongoing legal matter and the council will continue to pursue it.”
Wildin has been approached for a comment.
