Savile enters Big Brother house
Sir Jimmy Savile has gone into Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother as part of one of the housemates' tasks.
The housemates were alerted to Sir Jimmy's arrival by an unexpected ring on the doorbell, accompanied by the theme tune from his show Jim'll Fix It.
The 79-year-old entertainer was wearing a red tracksuit and his trademark gold chain.
"I have a violent nature, but you have nothing to fear from me," he said as he greeted basketball star Dennis Rodman.
"You feel good?" asked entertainer Michael Barrymore to which Sir Jimmy replied: "Indestructible. I'm here because I thought you might need something fixing."
Housemates will have to write him letters, asking him to make their wishes come true.
Sir Jimmy will then collect all the letters and leave the house early on Saturday evening.
He will return on Sunday morning having chosen which housemate's request he wants to "fix" before leaving for good later that day.
'Bullying''
Model Jodie Marsh was evicted from the house on Friday, which has hit the headlines thanks to the participation of MP George Galloway.
Labour Party London Assembly member John Biggs called Galloway, Respect party MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in east London, a "laughing stock" after he imitated a cat and pretended to lick cream from actress Rula Lenska's hands, as part of a task.
But Marsh had become increasingly isolated during her stay after falling out with most of the other contestants.
Marsh's parents have accused the other housemates of bullying their daughter, who has spent much of her time in the house crying.
The 27-year-old is a supporter of anti-bullying charity Beatbullying after talking about her time at the hands of bullies while she was at school.
Fellow contestant Burns has raised concerns that he and the others may be viewed by the audience as cruel for the way they have treated her.
Celebrity Big Brother has attracted average ratings of 4.3 million, making it one of Channel 4's most popular programmes.
