TalkTV’s Vanessa Feltz recalls moment when she was groped live on TV by convicted paedophile Rolf Harris

TalkTV’s Vanessa Feltz has claimed she was groped by paedophile Rolf Harris whilst she was interviewing him live on TV. Harris recently died from neck cancer and “frailty of old age” on May 10 aged 93.

In the wake of his death being announced on Tuesday (May 23), Feltz, who left the BBC last year, discussed the incident on her Drivetime show. She said Harris groped her during an interview in 1996.

Talking to fellow TalkTV presenter Kevin O’Sullivan, Vanessa said: "If you look at the picture, you will see that I’m wearing a full-length beaded gown. I was always in full evening dress in the morning on the bed.
