Chantelle Houghton says her 'blood runs cold' looking back on Jimmy Savile's comments

Chantelle Houghton has said it makes her “blood run cold” when she thinks about the comments sex offender Jimmy Savile made to her on Celebrity Big Brother.

The pair met when Savile went into the reality TV show house as part of a task in 2006, years before his offences came to light.

At the time, the disgraced entertainer was a star and Houghton told The Sun that his arrival created a buzz in the house.

When they met, Savile kissed her hand and said: “I know that many fellas love you, but they don’t love you with the sincerity and tenderness I do."

"I always tell the truth, even if I’m lying,” he added.

Houghton, 40, said that after watching a video clip of the moment back she thinks what he said to her was “really creepy”.

“Now, obviously, we know what and who he really was, it literally makes my blood run cold," she said.

“He obviously knew what he was really saying, when he said, 'I'm always telling the truth, even when I'm lying’,” she went on.

“It's just really creepy and I feel pretty disgusted that I've even been in his presence, that he's kissed my hand and said them vile things to me. It makes me really angry for the victims.”

Savile was well known for hosting BBC TV shows such as Top Of The Pops and Jim’ll Fix It and was a big star in the 80s and 90s.

He died in 2011 at the age of 84 and then the following year he was exposed as a serial sex offender with many victims.
