Peter Kay has recalled an unnerving incident with Jimmy Savile which left him labelling the disgraced entertainer a \u2018dirty old perv\u2019.<\/p>\n
The beloved comedian, 50, shared the story of the time he invited Savile onto the last episode of his Peter Kay\u2019s World Of Entertainment segment on the BBC\u2019s Sunday Show in his new book TV: Big Adventures on the Small Screen.<\/p>\n
Savile was a serial abuser and was eventually outed after his death in 2011, but at the time he was a popular star on screen thanks to shows like Jim\u2019ll Fix It and Top of the Pops.<\/p>\n
His appearance with Peter didn\u2019t go to plan as the comedian found him \u2018very eccentric\u2019 as he \u2018talked utter nonsense, spouting weird quotes, crap jokes, limericks\u2019.<\/p>\n
Writing in his book, as reported by the Mirror, he said: \u2018The only hint I got of Jimmy being immoral in any way was when he met our executive producer, Bridget Boseley.<\/p>\n
\u2018I remember she offered him her hand, which Jimmy took, then he flipped it round to kiss the back of it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018But before his lips touched her skin I saw a quick flick of his tongue licking the back of her hand. Urgh! What was all that about? Bridget and I chatted about it later.<\/p>\n
\u2018She said, \u201cHe licked the back of my hand.\u201d \u201cI know, I saw him, the dirty old perv.\u201d \u2018<\/p>\n
Peter also recalled a moment many years later when he was at BBC Media City in Salford for an event taking place one day after ITV aired a Savile documentary exposing his abuse.<\/p>\n
The comedian was with plenty of BBC chiefs, along with musicians and actors, and with plenty of people rushing back to the broadcaster\u2019s London HQ to deal with the fallout.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Everybody had gone apart from [BBC executive] Peter Salmon , Guy Garvey, Mr Tumble and me. The main corridor wall had a huge black and white mural featuring BBC icons from over the years.<\/p>\n
\u2018Michael Parkinson, Only Fools and Horses, Dad\u2019s Army, that sort of thing. Just like wallpaper, the images repeated along the length of the wall.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ll never forget Peter Salmon, he said, \u201cHere, could you do me a favour?\u201d and he handed each of us a pile of big bright-yellow Children in Need Pudsey Bear stickers.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u201dCould you find Savile and cover him up?\u201d So there we were, up step ladders trying to find every image of Jimmy Savile so we could cover him up (ironically just what the BBC had reportedly been doing for years).<\/p>\n
\u2018It was like some depraved Where\u2019s Wally? Or Where\u2019s Jimmy?\u2019<\/p>\n
