Girl, 8, revealed as Jimmy Savile's youngest victim launches claim to sue his £4.3million estate as builder, 52, claims he is BBC star's lovechild

Investigated: There are now 300 child abuse allegations against Jimmy Savile

Jimmy's Savile's youngest victim was just eight years old, it has emerged after she came forward to sue the late DJ's £4.3million estate. She says he molested her at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, in Buckinghamshire, while she was recovering after an operation in 1986.

Her shocking revelation comes as a man also scarred by the paedophile's legacy admitted he is haunted by the possibility he may be Savile's love child. The sick BBC star, who has now been exposed as one of the UK's most prolific abusers, had a fling with Mr Biven's mother when she was a teenager.

Liz Dux, from law firm Slater & Gordon, said of the eight-year-old victim: 'This was a little girl who went in for treatment and came out an abuse victim. She should have been protected.' Savile was free to roam Stoke Mandeville in Buckinghamshire as he pleased, using his position as a charitable donor to sexually abuse sick children. He kept toys donated for children in his private flat in the hospital grounds, and was accused of attacking vulnerable young children on the wards - with nurses advising them to 'pretend to be asleep' when he was visiting.

Ms Dux's firm is representing 36 victims, including a man and woman who were nine when they were attacked by Savile at the BBC. There are currently 29 current and former BBC staff under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct - three times the number originally thought. Police are investigating 300 child abuse allegations against the DJ, who died in Leeds aged 84 a year ago.

Builder Craig Bivens, 52, revealed in The Sun today how he is worried the BBC star could have fathered him during a five-month affair with his mother, Liz Boothe. 'I don't want to be the boy of a kiddie fiddler,' he said. 'I don't want to be his son.' Ms Boothe, now 70, found she was pregnant after a relationship with Savile when she was 18 and he was managing the Mecca Locarno dancehall in Leeds. The former model and singer now believes she was cherry-picked for Savile by a bouncer.

She and the bouncer went out for a drink and he stole a photo of her from her bag to show to his boss. She was then taken to Savile's office at the Mecca and told by the DJ: 'Right, you don't see him any more. I want to take you out.' Ms Boothe added: 'It was always wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Being quick was the only good thing about him. Let's be honest, I only went out with someone looking like he did because of the people I could meet... the most famous was Cliff Richard.'

Ms Boothe, who is 'disgusted' to think that such a sick figure could be the father of her child, described Savile as 'mean and arrogant.' She said: 'He'd take me to restaurants with his entourage and stuff his face with fast food. But he'd say to the waitresses, "A coffee for the lady." I spent most of the time with him starving.' She did see a darker side to his lifestyle, however, and claims Savile regularly met with police and gangsters and even ordered an arson attack on heavyweight boxer Bruce Woodcock. 'He wasn't a nice person,' she added - although she said she never knew of any paedophilia. After she broke up with Savile, she was called to his office, where he asked if she was really pregnant and if the baby was his. She did not want it to be, she said, so she told him that it was not. He replied: 'Thank god for that.'

Father-of-two Mr Biven, who looks remarkably like Savile, now has to live with the knowledge that a predatory paedophile could be his father. Mr Biven has only blank space on his birth certificate where his father's name should be, but he and his mother never want to know the truth. 'It's best left,' said Ms Boothe. 'I'm sure there are loads who had babies by Sav.'

The Savile scandal began when ITV broadcast new sex abuse allegations in a documentary about the late presenter on October 3, sparking a mammoth police inquiry. Intense scrutiny of the BBC followed, after the corporation dropped a Newsnight report into the presenter’s actions last year after his death. Comedian Freddie Starr and former pop star Gary Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, have also been questioned by officers investigating the abuse scandal. Doctors at Leeds Infirmary as well as Stoke Mandeville at the time are accused of collaborating in Savile's rape of children.

Others claim they were abused by Savile while pupils at Duncroft Approved School in Surrey during the 1970s. Savile's estate has been frozen in response to the allegations. NatWest Bank, which is acting as his executor and trustee, said the distribution of his assets had been put on hold in anticipation of legal action from his alleged victims. Savile was also a regular visitor to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital and befriended Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, now 66. Britain’s top expert on serial killers said police should probe whether the pair developed a friendship before Sutcliffe was caught.
