Jimmy Savile: police arrest third man over historic sex abuse allegations They said the man fell into the category "others" in the three strands of the Yewtree probe, which consist of "Jimmy Savile," "Savile and others" and "others." Mr De'ath was a former producer of Savile's on the BBC radio shoe Teen Scene. He last month told ITV that he had challenged Savile over his behaviour after he spent a night with a 12-year-old girl in a hotel room. He said: "I know for a fact that Jimmy spent a night in a rather squalid hotel with a girl who was at the most 12, or probably 10, and I said to him, "Jimmy you are living dangerously. Surely you must realise you're living dangerously? "All he said was, "Oh no no no. I'm much too valuable to the BBC for them to do anything to me. He didn't think anything could happen. And nothing did happen. Nobody grassed on him in any way, although we all knew. The arrest is the third made in Operation Yewtree, following former pop star Gary Glitter - real name Paul Gadd - and comedian Freddie Starr. Starr, 69, from Warwickshire, has consistently denied any involvement in the alleged abuse.
