During the show, the panel discussed whether Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story should be removed from Netflix.
The series charts how disgraced Savile came to be revealed as a horrific peadophile and sex abuser, after his death.
Sharing her opinion, Coleen said: “I just didn’t get the whole Jimmy Savile thing. You know I was around at that time as we were doing Top Of The Pops me and my sister.
He was horrible.
“We’d met him a few times and every time we met him we used to be… I hope it’s not Jimmy Savile this time because he was always creepy to me.”
Denise Welch, 63, added: “And he’d tried to get you to go back with him.”
Coleen, 57, responded: “Well yeah, it’s difficult for me to talk about that scenario that I had because it’s nothing when compared with what he did.”
Denise interjected: “No but it could have been Coleen, had you have gone.”
Coleen went on to reveal Jimmy once invited her back to his hotel suite in Blackpool.
She added: “I didn’t (visit him), nothing happened and I just thought, ‘He’s a creep’.

During an appearance on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, she shared: “I was 14 there and that same night, he asked me to go to his hotel. He said he had a suite in a hotel and I should go up and see it and he’d look after me.
