Burglars in a fix at Sir Jim's.

Byline: By MARK SMITH

BURGLARS broke into Sir Jimmy Savile's holiday home expecting a haul of valuables - but found nothing to steal.

The ex-Jim'll Fix It star doesn't even own a TV as the remote Highland cottage receives no signal.

Sir Jimmy, 81, had put a sign in the window warning housebreakers there was nothing inside.

He said: "The only thing worth taking was half a bag of coal, which they left. Obviously they must have central heating."

Sir Jimmy was away at the time filming a TV show about pop music.

A friend found the front door and generator shed damaged where the thieves ram-raided their way in on Tuesday night.

Sir Jimmy, speaking from his home in Leeds, said it would be tough to move the generator as it weighs over three tonnes.

He bought the Glencoe cottage in 1996 after first spotting it on a cycling holiday in 1942. He visits almost every month.
