Surrey Police have released transcripts of interviews they did with Jimmy Savile in 2009 about child sexual abuse allegations.
One interview took place at his office at the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire.
He was questioned by officers about a claim that he had touched a girl “over her clothes sexually” during a visit to Duncroft children’s home in Staines, which was a Barnado’s home in the late 1970s.
Savile replied: “Oh! Out of the question.”
At the start of the interview, Savile was asked to confirm his date of birth and then told the police: “In 83 years I’ve never, ever done anything wrong.”
He added: “That doesn’t mean to say that in my business you don’t get accused of just about everything because people are looking for a bit of blackmail or the papers are looking for a story.
