Veteran T.V Presenter and D.J Sir Jimmy Saville dies aged 84.

Sad news this.

I know he was an eccentric, but Jimmy did a hell of a lot for charity over the years.

Off screen he did a lot of charity work, running 200 marathons and raising £40m over the years.

I also fondly remember his show Jim'll Fix It and his catch phrase 'Now then'.

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.

I got to meet him a couple of times on fun runs in my youth and he was always wearing a Gold track suit, weighed down with his copious amounts of Gold chains.

R.I.P Sir Jimmy.
