Freddie Starr: I have never touched an underage girl She is one of more than 40 people to have claimed they were sexually assaulted by Savile. She said: "I saw Gary Glitter have sex with a girl in Jimmy Savile's dressing room ... in that little alcove bit. She alleged that Mr Starr had tried to grope her. Describing the moment he found out about the allegations, Mr Starr, who appeared on ITV show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here said: "The first we heard of all this was when Dean, my lawyer called us up yesterday after getting an email from ITV. He was panicking, because he's my mate as well as my QC. He said it was alleged I was in a room with Jimmy Savile, and these two alleged 14-year-old girls. I've only met Jimmy Savile maybe twice. He came to see me with his mother at one of my shows. I always thought he was a flash b------, but I wanted to meet him before I cast aspersions on his character. He said to me 'now then young man, I've brought the duchess to meet you', that was his mother. They stayed for 15 or 20 minutes before he left me so I had time to plan what I was going to do in the show. The other time was when he came into mine and my partner's men's clothing shop in Leeds. We were sat in the shop and he walked past, looked in and came in. In he comes and he starts to show us his bus pass. We said surely you have enough money, you've got a roller. He used all of those sayings he had off TV when he was talking to you. He demeaned you, by talking a bit down to you, I couldn't wait to get him out of the shop, he was a boring boring man. It seems to me that there's three of these ladies, for want of a better word, all after something, all holding each others' hands. I feel deeply sorry for them for having to go through what that scumbag put them through, I really do care for them. But don't f------ tar me with the same brush as Jimmy Savile or Gary Glitter. If there is one thing I've always hated it's paedophiles. If I see something on the TV about a kid getting hurt, like the young girl now, I just have to turn it off. I can't stand that sort of bloke. I've always been against paedophiles and always will be. I've never touched any under aged girl in my life. Paedophiles are a pet hate of mine, so I refute it completely. He added: "The party these girls talk about didn't happen. She's claiming I made advances to her, it didn't happen. She says she rebuffed me because my breath smelled of alcohol. That can't have happened because I've never drunk, I'm teetotal. I have never been in any situation with Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter, and I have certainly never been with this woman. He added: "I think these women are very brave to come forward, but they shouldn't drag my name through the mud. When I read that I had made advances towards this woman, that never happened. I completely understand their predicaments, but when they are doing it for a reason, and trying to pick names out of a hat, saying 'he'll do, Freddie Starr will do' - they could have picked anyone. He added he supported a police investigation into Sir Jimmy. He said he had only met Mr Glitter, who has convictions for child sex offences, once at a England game attended by Max Clifford. Years later it came out what kind of man he was. But I had no part in the lives of Gary Glitter and Jimmy Savile, none at all.
