A familiar face around Leeds, the eccentric Mr Savile graced our radios and TV screen through the 60s 70s and 80s and is best known for presenting Top of the Pops and hit TV-show Jim'll Fix It.

More recently seen on our screens in Louis Theroux Meets, Sir Jimmy claims that both Ali G and Eminem are copying his tracksuit and jewellery style.

He has also actively supported a number of local charities, including St James Hospital.
