Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter admits she felt “nauseous” watching The Reckoning about Jimmy Savile, revealing another shocking secret about “her relationship with Savile”
Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter admits her skin felt creeped out as she tuned into The Reckoning on Monday night.
The broadcaster was discussing the BBC drama with her fellow panellists, Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan and Joanna Page as she recalled meeting the “real” Jimmy Savile during her time at the BBC. Janet, 76, made a name for herself in the journalism industry as well as producing several radio shows – but didn’t directly work on any of Savile’s.
Actor and comedian Steve Coogan is taking on the role of the vile predator who was exposed as a paedophile, rapist and serial abuser only after his death. While the true extent of his crimes may never be known, Savile was guilty of horrific crimes against teenage girls, young women, younger girls, boys, ill people, disabled people and even the dead.

Speaking on Loose Women, Janet said: “I could barely watch it actually because first of all, Steve Coogan is a fine actor, he made a transition from being a comedian to being a really, really fine actor. And of course, years and years ago, I was at the BBC, I appeared on several shows with Jimmy Savile, and I worked as an executive in the night entertainment department where he made many shows. But I never produced any shows with Jimmy Savile.
“So I have met the real Jimmy Savile and the idea that he re-appeared in my living room, that portrayal actually made me and my flesh creep. I felt sick, actually. It had a very, very powerful effect on me.”
The former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestant continued: “The dancehall scenes in episode one, of course, I was in those dancehalls, though not up north, I was in Central London, I was those girls that used to dance and of course, there were girls who used to go backstage with the DJ and hung out with the groups and the groupies – everybody knows that.”
