A fourth unknown celebrity has been identified by woman, who said she was abused by him as a child, in light of the ITV documentary which made allegations about TV presenter Jimmy Savile.

As well as Savile, singer Gary Glitter, 68, and comic Freddie Starr, 69, have been caught up in the scandal. Starr has denied accusations he molested a girl in Savile's BBC dressing room when she was 14.

A member of the ITV production team told The Telegraph: "We have had a name given to us which is so far not in the public domain.

Jimmy Savile: Other celebrities could be accused of sex abuse around the time allegations were made about the presenter

The fourth celebrity identified by the woman is believed to be still alive.

"It relates to a celebrity, a media personality, who is alive. We are urging everyone who contacts us to go straight to the police."

There are a growing number of allegations that the former TV presenter Savile groped young patients at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire, where he worked as a volunteer fundraiser.

Nurses at the hospital are understood to have dreaded his visits. They would tell children to stay in bed and pretend to be asleep when he came round, it has been claimed.

A number of memorials to Savile have already been removed, including an inscription on the wall at Leeds Civic Hall in recognition of his charity work, and a street sign in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

Commander Peter Spindler, head of Specialist Crime Investigations, said the abuse was on a "national scale" and that the allegations spanned four decades.

The NSPCC's helpline: 0808 800 5000- is open 24 hours with trained counsellors constantly on standby.
Scotland Yard has been in contact with ITV and the BBC to gather information and they are contacting alleged victims they have been talking to to see if they will co-operate.

  • Sir Jimmy Savile Auction

    A sale of the late Sir Jimmy Savile's possessions and mementoes has got under way with one of the late DJ's Highland suits going for £280. The tweed jacket and kilt was the first of 549 lots to go under the hammer in Sir Jimmy's home city of Leeds today. The auction, which is expected to take at least eight hours, will include gold suits, Cuban cigars and the broadcaster's beloved Rolls-Royce. The lots include thousands of items of memorabilia owned by Sir Jimmy, which are being sold to raise money for his charitable trust. His trademark tracksuits and jewellery, including a £12,000 gold and diamond-encrusted Rolex watch, gold identity bracelet and rings, are all on offer along with the first ever chair from his Jim'll Fix It TV show. The sale kicked off at Savile Hall, at the Royal Armouries, with around 300 people packing the room and many more bidders taking part over the phone and via internet. Lot one - the Highland suit - was bought by a local man on the front row. As the auction continued, some items started to soar above their estimates. A Scottish shepherd's crook estimated to sell for between £30 and £60 went for £380. A tireless charity worker, Sir Jimmy is thought to have raised more than £40 million for good causes in his lifetime. He died just before his 85th birthday last year and requested his belongings be sold for charity after his death.
