COLEEN Nolan has opened up about the moment Jimmy Savile begged her to go back to his hotel room when she was just 14.
The 56-year-old met the paedophile when she appeared on Top Of The Pops with her sistersto perform and has now recalled what happened on Piers Morgan's Life Stories.
Savile, who hosted Top of the Pops, died in 2011 and the following year he was exposed as a paedophile.
Having watched the clips of their meeting, Piers questioned if it gave her the “shudders” watching it back now.
She replied: “You know when it came out about Jimmy Saville I wasn’t in any way shocked, thinking about it. I was 14 [years old] there and that same night, he asked me to go to his hotel.
“He said he had a suite in a hotel and I should go up and see it and he’d look after me. “
Looking horrified, Piers asked her to clarify that she was just 14 and wanted to know how it made her feel.
The Loose Women star explained: “Well at the time I just thought you dirty old man. As if I’m going to go up there, I wouldn’t do it anyway. I’ve got four sisters on the stage that would have beaten the crap out of him.”
In 2013, a joint Scotland Yard and NSPCC report branded him one of the UK’s most prolific known sexual predators.
It's estimated he sexually assaulted hundreds of women and children in a campaign of abuse lasting more than 50 years.
Piers wanted to know how she felt when she heard what he had done to so many people.
Coleen told him: “Absolutely horrendous but in some ways, not surprising because he was always very touchy feely.”
Piers Morgan's Life Stories airs tonight (Thursday) at 9pm on ITV.
