It has been claimed Jimmy Savile visited wards at an NHS hospital to find children to abuse.

There are a growing number of allegations that the former TV presenter groped young patients at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire.

He worked there as a volunteer fundraiser.

Nurses at the hospital are understood to have dreaded his visits because of his behaviour.

Some have claimed they would tell children to stay in bed and pretend to be asleep when he came round.
