The iconic Teletubbies set has been flooded and turned into a pond because its owner was fed up with trespassing tourists.

Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po were filmed at the hill house on a farm in Wimpstone, Warwickshire for the CBeebies show between 1997 and 2001.

After the Bafta-winning show was axed, the magic windmill, windows and flowers were removed from the house, leaving a bare grassy slope.

Despite this, Teletubbies fans continued to trespass onto the hill, until land owner Rosemary Harding was left with no choice but to remove it.

"People were jumping fences and crossing cattle fields," the 63 year old told The Sunday People.

"We're glad to see the back of it."

The BBC filmed 365 episodes of Teletubbies and it is still being shown on CBeebies now, despite only being filmed for four years.
