Freddie Starr held in Savile probe

Comedian Freddie Starr has been arrested in connection with the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse investigation, sources have said.

The news came after Savile's estate was frozen in response to the mounting sexual abuse claims against the late television and radio star.

NatWest Bank, which is acting as the Jim'll Fix It presenter's will executor and trustee, said the distribution of his assets had been put on hold because of the allegations. Savile's estate is reportedly worth £4.3 million.
