Amanda Holden spoke about disturbing moment Jimmy Savile ‘tried to seduce her’ as teenager when she was in a hospital
Amanda Holden previously revealed that she’d had an uncomfortable encounter with disgraced TV presenter Jimmy Savile when she was a teenager while at the hospital
Savile was posthumously unmasked to be a prolific sex offender in 2012, just a year after he had passed away. It was revealed that Savile had exploited his fame and power throughout his career in order to abuse hundreds of people throughout his life – most of them women and children.A year after the sickening revelations came to light, Britains Got Talent judge Holden would reveal that she’d encountered Savile while visiting the hospital as a teenager.
Explaining the encounter during an interview with Alan Carr, Holden claimed that she was receiving treatment for an injury to her finger when the Jim’ll Fix It! presenter appeared from behind a curtain and made an inappropriate joke towards her.
“When I was 19 I was cutting a cake and I cut my finger – I’ve still got a scar,” she explained.
