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.
