I started to well up in there and thought here we go.” In the days leading up to his death just before his 85th birthday, Savile was quoted as saying: “So many women, so little time.” The most vile gift was when Savile told American actress and model Traci Bingham that he would reveal in private how her wish for something “personal for her” would come true. Among the requests was a jumbo jet flight for Michael, two tickets to the Oscars for George, a role in EastEnders for Preston and Chantelle asked to be a pop star. He joked that being in the Big Brother house was the first time that he had been “inside” - then started praising Michael while discussing his career.

You’ll need a Netflix account to watch the programme. I think that isn’t the case. “And I think that’s unhelpful because I don’t think the archive material or footage brought that out.
