Former DJ, TV presenter and charity fundraiser Sir Jimmy Savile has died, aged 84.

Savile, who was one of the most famous names on British TV and radio in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, died on Saturday.

Police said they were called to his home in Leeds, but that there was nothing suspicious about his death.

His family programme, Jim'll Fix It, drew in huge audiences and the programme received 20,000 letters a week at the height of its popularity.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said officers were called to the house in Roundhay at 12:10 BST.

Details of how he died were not yet known, but he was recently in hospital with pneumonia.

Broadcaster Tony Blackburn said Sir Jimmy was embraced by everybody, and was "always just Jimmy Savile".

"He was just a complete one-off. I think he was a bit of a lonely character as well. In the privacy of his own life I don't think he had very many friends."

He added: "I've never known anyone quite like him. He was a blunt speaking Northerner, but also kind and very respectful."

Presenter Dave Lee Travis told Sky News: "We are all going to be worse off without him around."

Prince Charles has also praised Sir Jimmy in a statement released by Clarence House: "The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are saddened to hear of Jimmy Savile's death and their thoughts are with his family at this time," it said.

Savile started out as a dance hall DJ in the 1950s, before making his name as a broadcaster on Radio Luxembourg.

He was one of the first DJs on BBC Radio 1 and launched Top of the Pops in 1964.

He also appeared on the music show's final edition in 2006.

I wanted to say this is a really refreshing and liberated place (a little edgy and irreverent maybe, but what's wrong with that?) because where else would you see people openly praying for Bruce Forsyth's death? I wanted to say that but after a timely check I have discovered there are many, many forums engaged in the same (necessary) appeal to God - some entirely devoted to the issue, some - in fact - with registered charity status. So this place isn't all that special after all. Shame.

From this week's Popbitch


Since Popbitch launched in 2000, we've
often been asked which celebrity we'd had
most stories about. It's not David Beckham.
Nor even Paul Danan. "Jimmy Savile", was
always the answer. Among a host of strange
rumours is this one, the strangest. It
involved Mr Savile, a penchant for
necrophilia... and access to the morgue
at Leeds General Infirmary which, the
story went, he was given in return for his
charity work. We've been told this story
by probably 100+ people - including two
DJs, six journalists and a member of the
House of Lords - it was even supposed to be
one of Larry Grayson's favourite yarns. But
most often it was told to us by a Leeds
resident, the Rev Goatboy, late of this
parish, who always promised to leave
the evidence to support this wild theory
with one reliable person, on condition
we'd only use it after Savile's
death. Sadly, none of us can remember
who was supposed to have been the guardian
of this evidence. So we have none.
We'll have to add this magnificent
rumour to the pantheon of apocraphal
celebrity stories for now.
