Before her death, he had wanted to keep a close eye on her and bought Agnes a flat on Scarborough's Esplanade. Savile routinely stayed with her at the flat until she died, and it is where he continued to live following her passing. He said: "When I come in, I always go...When I'm coming through the door, I go, 'All right, darling?'... as I walk past the door. It's a friendly thing, it's not morbid."
