Yvette Fielding, who joined the long-running show at the age of 18, claimed the news that the paedophile predator squeezed and caressed her bottom when she found herself alone with him in a TV studio.
The now-55-year-old also had an unsettling encounter with the “grotesque” Jimmy Savile, who was eventually revealed to be one of Britain’s most serial sex offenders.
Fielding has questioned the news’s involvement in allowing such actions, claiming that somebody in the industry “must have known.”.
She started a Blue Peter broadcaster in 1987 and left five years later, going on to host a number of nerdy programs, including a show.
