His death was confirmed to the PA news agency by a registrar at Maidenhead Town Hall.

Harris, a former kids' entertainer, was found guilty of a string of indecent assaults between 1968 and 1986 following a trial in 2014 - and was jailed for five years and nine months.

He was released in 2017.

Harris has never apologised to his victims or for his crimes.

Before his downfall, Harris was a popular entertainer and often appeared alongside another late, disgraced TV presenter - Jimmy Savile.

Harris was found guilty of 12 attacks on four girls, mainly in the 1970s and 1980s.

One conviction, relating to an allegation he indecently assaulted an eight-year-old girl, was overturned, but Court of Appeal judges dismissed his application to challenge the other 11 convictions.

During his career, Harris was made an OBE, MBE and CBE and awarded a Bafta fellowship. He was stripped of the honours following his convictions.
