Comedian Freddie Starr is suing a woman who says he groped her when she was in the audience at a Jimmy Savile show when she was a 15-year-old.
The 72-year-old entertainer appeared in a wheelchair at the High Court in London to face his accuser, Karin Ward, at the start of a two-week defamation trial before Mr Justice Nicol.
He told the judge, who is hearing the case without a jury, that he did not at first remember appearing on Jimmy Savile's Clunk Click TV series in March 1974 – 41 years ago – until footage showed him in the studio, with Ward in the audience behind him (pictured above).
