Rolf Harris wanted to sexually assault schoolgirls in uniform, claims ex-pal
Rolf Harris' former driver has spoken of some of the vile comments the former entertainer is believed to have made.
The disgraced star was no stranger to appearing on screens in the homes of millions of Brits during his career but his former driver, who was known as his "adopted son", has shared a startling revelation.
Harris, 93, was sentenced in June 2014 to five years and nine months in jail for 12 indecent assaults on four teenage girls between 1968 and 1986.
He was released on parole in May 2017 after spending three years in jail.
Harris has not spoken out publicly since his release from jail.

The disgraced presenter was convicted for 12 indecent assaults on four teenage girlsIn a new ITVX documentary airing later this week, Chris Bronson, Harris' former friend, has shared a startling claim.
Speaking in a piece-to-camera on Rolf Harris: Hiding in Plain Sight, he claimed: "I remember I was driving Rolf back from the BBC, and there were two schoolgirls in uniform walking along.
"I'm driving the car and Rolf out of the blue just says, 'Jesus, couldn't you just f***k the pair of them?'"
Bronson continued: "And it, and when… When he said it, I mean, I'm driving along and he, and he said it and it was, it was shocking to hear him say it.
Harris' former driver claimed the star wanted to "f***" schoolgirls (ITV)"I looked at him, I said, 'What?' And he said, 'Well, just look at 'em. Aren't they just f***ing lovely?'
"I'm driving a car, Rolf's looking out of the window and he's thinking about f***ing two 14-year-olds, two little girls."
Mr Bronson went on to claim: "So for me, the impact of that, and not only was I furious, I was, not only was I angry about it, I fully expressed the anger that I felt, and I pulled the car over and I said, 'I can't f***ing believe that you've just said what you've said.'
"He immediately went into, 'I'm so sorry Bear, I shouldn't have said that in front of you'."
Elsewhere in the documentary, four brave victims, one named Victim A waved their right to anonymity to share their traumatic experiences with the convicted paedophile.

Victim A was a family friend and was instrumental in gaining a conviction against the TV entertainer.
The decades-long grooming of Harris' daughter Bindi’s childhood friend from the age of 13 was key evidence that led to his downfall.
A number of other women will also talk about "degrading and awful" treatment that went on for decades in the television industry as they claim he groped women when given the opportunity.
They have waived their right to anonymity to tell the story of how they say his assaults impacted them, and the pressures that finally forced them to come forward to testify against him in court.
