Amanda Holden has spoken about her experience meeting Jimmy Savile after he paid her an impromptu visit when she was in hospital at 19. Of course, this was long before his sex crimes came to light, but the way he spoke to her is another indicator of how completely perverted this man was.
(Forward to 3:10 if it doesn’t automatically start there)
“When I was 19 I was cutting a cake and I cut my finger – I’ve still got a scar.
So I went with my then boyfriend to the hospital and they stitched it up and they put a bandage around it… and then this man drew back the curtains and made this flippant remark that I’d tried to take my own life by slicing my finger.
Then I was like, ‘Oh, that’s Jim’ll Fix It! Oh my God!’
And then he said to me, ‘do you have any gynaecological problems?’
And luckily my boyfriend was there so he was my witness. I went, ‘No!’ and he went, ‘I can give you one!'”
Seems everyone has a Saville story to tell. Just a shame it all came out after his death so that he never faced any real consequences for it. Unfortunately, when he was alive and especially at the time he carried out his crimes, he would have simply denied everything and everyone would have believed him, because he was such a beloved figure and had so many friends in high places. Luckily, we now live in an era where people are more awake to this sort of thing, and creeps like Savile cannot get away with that behaviour as easily. Well, you’d like to think so anyway.
For recently resurfaced footage of Savile and fellow nonce Rolf Harris being creepy around a young girl on Jim’ll Fix It, click HERE. It seems so obvious now.
