DETECTIVE Dan Neal has been blabbing about the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal to
housemates, we can reveal.
The news will give Scotland Yard a major headache.
And it could prove a nightmare for Channel 5 bosses, who may be asked to hand
over footage of the entire series when it ends.
Dan was one of the detectives working on Operation Yewtree - the child abuse
inquiry into allegations of historic sex offences by major stars.
But just weeks ago he quit the force to go on Big Brother.
Met Police chiefs are terrified he might spill secrets about the Savile case and
other high-profile arrests.
Officers are being paid overtime to watch the show to ensure he does not slip
up.
Now it seems Dan, from Ongar, Essex, has spoken about Yewtree to the gang.
The revelation comes from model Sallie Axl, 26, who was the first housemate
evicted on Friday.
She says Dan "spoke loads" to her about it.
In an interview with the Daily Star she said: "He said he was in a big child sex
abuse case.
"He spoke loads about it. I spent days with him chatting about it."
Sallie was guarded about the details he revealed but added that Dan had been
very emotionally affected by the cases.
And she said: "He said a lot of people were involved and he had to respect their
privacy."
Footage for the nightly highlights shows has been edited by Channel 5 so that
Dan has not been shown speaking about Yewtree.
And the daily two-hour live feed is subject to a 15-minute time delay so lawyers
can remove controversial material.
However, even though nothing has been aired on TV, police may ask Channel 5 for
all copies of the live feed to make sure Dan has not compromised any cases.
Last night a spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "Until we know exactly what was
said, no action is being taken at this time.
"Clearly this conversation has not been broadcast but we have made it clear we
cannot allow our investigations to be jeopardised.
"Our care for the victims is of utmost importance."
A show spokesman said yesterday: "Channel 5 takes its obligations as a
broadcaster seriously and, as has been made clear to New Scotland Yard,
extensive procedures are in place to ensure nothing will be broadcast which
would involve the former police officer breaching confidentiality, invading the
privacy of others, committing libel or a contempt of court."
Lawyer Liz Dux, who is representing one of Savile's victims, yesterday claimed
bosses at NHS hospitals knew he was a paedophile but failed to take any action.
