Now then, now then...
For years marathon runner Roger Cousins has been mistaken for Sir Jimmy Savile. Now he has decided to use it to his advantage and will take on his ninth London marathon dressed as the late children's TV presenter.
The 60-year-old, who has been a caretaker at St John's primary in Penistone for ten years said: "For years and years no matter where I've gone in the world, be it Tenerife or the Dominican Republic, I always got a tap on the shoulder asking if I was him. I think it's because of the hair.
"With Jimmy passing away last year I decided it was my time to do a tribute to him and hopefully it will kick-start my fund-raising campaign."
