A zombie Jimmy Savile costume has sparked anger among child abuse charities.
The costume has now been withdrawn from sale by amazon.co.uk after an email was sent out to customers promoting it ahead of Halloween.
It featured a blue and white tracksuit, a fake cigar, silver wig, zombie face paint and even a Jim’ll Fix It-style medallion.
Peter Saunders from the National Association of People Abused in Childhood said the outfit was ‘tasteless, senseless and extremely insensitive’.
‘Nobody wants to remember Savile’s horrible face, particularly his many victims,’ he told the Sunday Express.
Amazon.co.uk, which was selling the ‘perfect for bad taste parties’ costume for £14.99, confirmed it had been removed from its website last night.
It comes after anger over other insensitive Halloween outfits including one marketed as a ‘mental patient’, while Tesco also withdrew an inflatable ‘gay best friend’ doll.
