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.<\/p>\n

Savile was posthumously unmasked to be a\u00a0prolific sex offender<\/a>\u00a0in 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.<\/p>\n

A year after the sickening revelations came to light,\u00a0Britains Got Talent<\/em><\/a>\u00a0judge Holden would reveal that she’d encountered Savile while visiting the hospital as a teenager.<\/p>\n

Explaining the encounter during an interview with Alan Carr,\u00a0Holden<\/a>\u00a0claimed that she was receiving treatment for an\u00a0injury<\/a>\u00a0to her finger when the\u00a0Jim’ll Fix It!<\/em>\u00a0presenter appeared from behind a curtain and made an inappropriate joke towards her.<\/p>\n

“When I was 19 I was cutting a cake and I cut my finger – I’ve still got a scar,” she explained.<\/p>\n

“So I went with my then boyfriend to the hospital and they stitched it up and they put a bandage around it… and then this man drew back the curtains and made this flippant remark that I’d tried to take my own life by slicing my finger.<\/p>\n

“Then I was like, ‘Oh, that’s\u00a0Jim’ll Fix It!<\/em>\u00a0Oh my God!'”<\/p>\n

Holden then went on to say that Savile asked her if she had any ‘gynaecological problems’.<\/p>\n

“And luckily my boyfriend was there so he was my witness,” she continued. I said ‘No’, thinking it was a bit bizarre. He gave me a weird smile and he went, ‘I can give you one!'”<\/p>\n

Holden then went on to explain that while she didn’t see herself as a victim of Savile’s, learning about his harrowing crimes had led her to reevaluate the encounter.<\/p>\n

“Do you know what?” she added. “I’m saying the story flippantly because, at the time I was a student, and for me it was just like, ‘what a bizarre story’, and I went back to drama school and told everyone and there was no serious weight to it or anything.<\/p>\n

“I am not like those poor people that he has…” she trailed off, hinting at some of Savile’s horrific sex offences over the years.<\/p>\n

The full extent of Savile’s shocking crimes were revealed by former\u00a0detective-turned-investigator Mark Williams-Thomas<\/a>\u00a0in ITV’s documentary\u00a0Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile.<\/em><\/p>\n
