Jimmy Savile: police are investigating claims of sexual abuse
Last week, a spokeswoman for Freddie Starr said he would be prepared to talk to officers investigating claims of abuse by Savile.
"Freddie is prepared to be interviewed by the police, but his lawyer has been in touch with the person that is heading the investigation and they have no intention of questioning him," said the spokeswoman.
The Liverpudlian comedian also appeared on ITV's This Morning to refute the allegations made against him by Karin Ward, now 54.
"I have never, ever, groped a woman in my life," Starr said.
