The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) will hold a review into child protection at the group following the sexual abuse claims surrounding Jimmy Savile.
The BBC Chairman Lord Patten has described them as a “cesspit” of allegations.
It comes after an interview in 2007 in which Mr. Savile totally denied the sex abuse allegations on Newstalk.
He rejected that any such claims even existed.
It comes as his gravestone is due to be broken up and put in landfill.
His family asked for the elaborate monument at a cemetery in Scarborough to be taken down after claims the late presenter abused up to 25 girls as young as 13 over 40 years.
Police say they are looking into 120 lines of inquiry against a man they now believe was a ‘predatory sex offender’.
Meanwhile there are fresh claims that Savile molested a young patient at Leeds General Infirmary in the UK back in the 1970s.
June Thornton is a former nurse.
She was in hospital as a patient at the time and says she witnessed the abuse first hand.
