Jimmy Savile’s former driver has revealed the TV star turned his mobile home into a sordid sex lair where he abused a string of *children as he toured Britain.

Dennis Garbutt said the paedophile presenter lured vulnerable girls as young as 12 into the vehicle during fundraising events at hospitals.

Dennis told his wife Lucy how the presenter would give him a signal to leave the mobile home so he could pounce on his young victims.

Lucy said: “Savile would say to him, ‘Go and get a cup of tea, Den’ and that was his way of saying he wanted to be alone and it was obvious why.

"Den would then go to the pictures or just walk the streets for a while.

“Den knew what was going on and we regret not doing anything about it at the time. He said Savile would have girls wherever he went.

"I couldn’t say how many, it was all over the country every time they stopped.

“He said, ‘These girls are barely older than our daughter, who was 12 at the time.’ It happened at the Leeds General Infirmary, at Broadmoor and in London.

"When he stopped he would have young girls. We both feel bad that we never said anything to the police, we’re as bad as all the others for not coming forward.

"I really regret it now but Den always said he had nothing to prove it, he just knew what was going on.”

Lucy, 78, told how Dennis – who now suffers from dementia – finally got sick of Savile’s vile behaviour and quit after 12 months.

She added: “Den could only stand working for him for a year and then he said to me, ‘I can’t bear it anymore. I don’t agree with it’.”

Dennis worked for Savile in 1971, driving his first mobile home.

After *fundraising, the Jim’ll Fix It host regularly invited *teenagers to join him on the mattress installed in the back of his lair.

A number of women have come forward in the past week and described being attacked in the vehicle he called his caravan.

While visiting London to appear on Top of the Pops in 1971, Savile kept it in a car park behind a rubbish tip in the red light district around Kings Cross.

After showing off the vehicle that same year, he said in a Mirror interview: “I tramp around the country like a grey timber wolf.

“I’m a wild animal, aware of the world and its surroundings and aware of my own needs.

"Look, a guy can stand on stage with a bolt through his head and because he’s in showbiz someone will fancy him.

“It’s a fact that girls fall for me and well, I’m single and I’m normal, and I get my fair share.”

But Lucy told how Savile would be two-faced when it came to his fans, slagging them off behind their backs.

Speaking from the home she shares with Dennis in Harrogate, North Yorks, she added: “To be honest, I never did like him.

"When he was signing autographs he would be smiling at his fans and then saying under his breath, ‘Just look at this so-and-so.’ All the time he would keep on smiling at them.”
