SHOCKING footage has emerged of British television icon Jimmy Savile assaulting a young woman live on air, she is said to be one of 300 victims abused by the presenter. Millions of people watched as Jimmy Saville assaulted the young girl... The teenager, Syliva Edwards is shown wriggling away from Savile who had his hand up her skirt and was groping her bottom with one hand while he calmly introduces the next act to the camera. The 19-year-old old blonde jumps about and shrieks in reaction to Savile's wondering hands during live filming for the popular music show in 1976 at the BBC's West London TV centre. She has told British newspaper The Sun said that when she complained to a BBC employee she was told to “get lost“ as Savile was only “messing about“. “I felt his fingers go towards my bottom. It was disgusting,“ the now 55-year-old told The Sun. “He just laughed and carried on mauling me while talking to the camera.“ “I felt so embarrassed and ashamed because it was live on TV and all my friends and family were watching. “The worst thing was that he was so casual when he did it. He was committing a sexual assault live on the BBC and no one gave a damn.“ In the clip Savile says to the camera: “I tell you something, a fella could get used to this, as it happens, he really could get used to it.“ Ms Edwards said the experience damaged her and later contributed to the collapse of her marriage. **WATCH THIS VIDEO TO SEE AN INTERVIEW WITH THE VICTIM, SYLVIA EDWARDS
