'''Sir James Wilson Vincent "Jimmy" Savile''' (October 31st, 1926 – October 29th, 2011) was an English DJ, television and radio personality who hosted BBC shows including ''Top of the Pops'' and ''Jim'll Fix It''. He raised an estimated £40 million for charities; during his lifetime, Savile was widely praised for his personal qualities and as a fund-raiser. After his death, hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse were made against him, leading the police to conclude that he had been a predatory sex offender and possibly one of Britain's most prolific.There had been allegations during his lifetime, but they were dismissed and accusers ignored or disbelieved. Savile took legal action against some accusers.

Former professional wrestler Adrian Street described in a November 2013 interview how "Savile used to go on and on about the young girls who’d wait in line for him outside his dressing room ... He'd pick the ones he wanted and say to the rest, 'Unlucky, come back again tomorrow night'." Savile, who cultivated a "tough guy" image promoted by his entourage, was hit with real blows during a 1971 bout with Street, who commented that had he "known then the full extent of what I know about [Savile] now, I’d have given him an even bigger hiding – were that physically possible." During the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in March 2019, it was reported that Robert Armstrong, the head of the Honours Committee, had resisted attempts by Margaret Thatcher to award Savile a knighthood in the 1980s, due to concerns about his private life. An anonymous letter received by the committee in 1998 said that "reports of a paedophilia nature" could emerge about Savile.

== Trivia ==

* It is often said that he was donating money to charitable causes in order to get away with his horrific sex crimes.

* He was once a former wrestler which is not as well-known as some of his other aspects.

* He was well-known to have a hatred for children despite having a show called Jim'll Fix It and it was said that children on the show weren't very fond of him.

* He was described as cold, vindictive, and unfriendly to people who worked with him long before his sex crimes came to light in spite of his family-friendly persona.

* He was described by psychologists as having Dark Triad personality characteristics, which include psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism.

* Jim'll Fix It producer Roger Ordish told the staff on the show not to leave Jimmy Savile alone with children due to the fact that his presence could be unnerving to some children. He also believed Jimmy Savile should not have gotten a children's show.

* He even groped a young woman named Sylvia Edwards on live TV on Top of the Pops and it was reported that the BBC staff told her to get lost when she complained about it to them.

* He was given free access to walk around Stoke Mandeville Hospital visiting children due to having a strong working relationship as well being a public fundraiser.

* He also had eyes from dead bodies and used then as jewelry.

* He was well-known to have a strong relationship with the British royal family and UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

* When it was revealed that he was a prolific sexual abuser, many honours were stripped, charities named after him were closed down, and other memorials were removed.

* He was known to have a close attachment to his mother Agnes, who he affectionately called "The Duchess', and he lived with her until her death in 1972. After she died, he sat beside her open casket for 5 days and openly showed emotion at her funeral; he would also have her room arranged the way it was when she was alive for years. In actuality, it was possible Agnes wasn't very fond of her son and never really praised him for his accomplishments; she may had even suspected her son's sexual crimes and his unhealthy obsession with young children and teenagers.
