Jimmy Savile's comments in Big Brother and sickening reason he didn't stay in
Jimmy Savile was a DJ, TV and radio personality, who had an eccentric image - but he had a dark side that was only exposed after his death.
The disgraced presenter groomed and abused up to 1,000 boys and girls in TV studios as well as patients at NHS hospitals across Britain.
His crimes were uncovered after his death in 2011 - and during his life, he was well-respected, even being knighted in 1990.
In 2006, Savile starred in Celebrity Big Brother and was reportedly paid £150,000 for his two days of work in which he helped the housemates fix things, just like he did in his show Jim'll Fix It.

He told basketball legend Dennis Rodman: "I want you to know I have a violent temper but you have nothing to fear from me."
After hugging Coronation Street star Rula Lenska, he exclaimed: "I would want to marry all of you ladies for at least 24 hours."
One of the most excruciating interactions came when Savile took hold of Chantelle's hand as she nervously giggled.
"I know that many fellas love you, but they don't love you with the sincerity and tenderness I do," said Jimmy before kissing her hand.
Kissing her hand again, he creepily added: "I always tell the truth even when I'm lying."

Evil Savile then told the housemates that he was there to fix something for them and started walking around the house.
While Rula was cooking, Savile told her she looked "far prettier" than she does on TV "in the flesh".
He went on to speak about his experiences with The Beatles star John Lennon and claimed Pete Burns' voice was almost identical.
Later in the evening, Savile started up a conversation about prison by asking the housemates if anyone had "been in the slammer".

In the Diary Room, an emotional Michael said: "When he came in I was blown away because it's him and he never lets you down.
"I didn't think seeing Jim and hearing Jim talking and being so personal and kind to me. I started to well up in there and thought here we go."
While the housemates were writing their letters to Savile with their requests, he popped his head around the door and uttered some strange words.
"Don't forget ladies I'm available most weekends for home visits," he remarked before sliding away as the women awkwardly giggled.

In the days leading up to his death just before his 85th birthday, Savile was quoted as saying: "So many women, so little time."
He added: "I've got a bouncebackability, but this time I don't seem to be bouncing back."
Though there were some questions about his private life and allegations when he was alive, most of them were dismissed despite being quietly banned by the BBC from hosting Children in Need.
In the aftermath of his death, inquiries were held into the culture of the BBC, his longtime employer, as well as criminal investigations into other high-profile sex abusers.
