The dead body of Jimmy Savile, who was branded as pervert and sex beast, will be dug out and cremated following the complaints from outraged families of loved ones buried at the site.

It will take two days to move the paedophile from Scarborough Cemetery in North Yorkshire and after the cremation, ashes will be scattered on secret location, the Daily Star reported.

Savile's family has rubber-stamped the plan but the DJ's charitable trust did not want to fork out the 20,000 pounds cost. Instead charity bosses wanted the cash to go to good causes.
