Jimmy Tarbuck
Comedian
Jimmy Tarbuck is an English comedian known for his role as a host of Sunday Night at the London Palladium in the 1960s, and numerous jobs as host of game shows in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
In 2013, Tarbuck was arrested for the alleged abuse of a young boy in the 1970s. In 2014 the investigation ended without any charges filed, and the crown prosecutor decided not to proceed with the case, saying “there is insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction.”
