TV and radio star Sir Jimmy Savile is arriving in Southampton this weekend before going on board the cruise ship Aurora for a trip to Madeira, the Canary Islands and Spain.

The 12-night holiday will be Sir Jimmy's 50th cruise on board the P&O cruise ship, which hit the headlines last month when staff and passengers were struck down with the Norovirus.

Sir Jimmy will be embarking on the cruise from Southampton's Mayflower Terminal tomorrow.
