The estate of television presenter Jimmy Savile has been frozen in response to the sex abuse claims made against him, NatWest bank says.
The bank, which is acting as the late DJ's executor, said: "Given the claims raised, distribution of the estate has been put on hold."
Savile's estate is thought to be worth about £4m.
Lawyers representing alleged victims welcomed the decision. They are planning to sue for damages.
