Jimmy Savile's sickening comments in Big Brother and the disturbing reason he didn't stay in the house

Sexual predator Jimmy Savile once made some rather disturbing comments in the iconic Big Brother house.

The former presenter passed away in 2011, but was outed as a monster shortly afterwards with the launch of Operation Yewtree in 2012.

However, many years before that, Savile made a bizarre appearance in Celebrity Big Brother.

Back in 2006, Savile was brought in as a surprise guest in the Channel 4 show, in scenes they are unlikely to air ever again.

The disgraced TV presenter was reportedly paid £150,000 for his two days work in which he helped the housemates fix things, just like in his show Jim'll Fix It, the Mirror UK reports

During his incredibly awkward arrival on day 10, Savile made some disturbing comments while greeting all of the celebs.

He told basketball legend (and noted hothead) Dennis Rodman: "I want you to know I have a violent temper but you have nothing to fear from me."

He told ex-Corrie star Rula Lenska: "I would want to marry all of you ladies for at least 24 hours."

But perhaps the excruciating interactions came when Savile took hold of eventual winner Chantelle Houghton's hand as she nervously giggled.

"I know that many fellas love you, but they don't love you with the sincerity and tenderness I do," said Jimmy before kissing her hand.

Kissing her hand again, he creepily added: "I always tell the truth even when I'm lying.

As part of a task, Savile then told the housemates that he was there to fix something for them and started walking round the house.

While the housemates were writing their letters to Savile with their requests, he popped his head round the door and uttered some strange words.

"Don't forget ladies I'm available most weekends for home visits," he remarked before sliding away as the women awkwardly giggled.

When he went to leave the house on the first day, Jimmy disturbingly explained why he wasn't going to spend the night in there.

He claimed he couldn't stay because he comes from a "red-blooded part of the country" and would not be able to restrain himself.
