A Walton Hop regular, former Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning, has pleaded guilty to further sex offences against young boys.

He pleaded guilty to 10 charges of indecent assault on a male, a charge of gross indecency and another of indecency with a child when he appeared at Southwark Crown Court, London on Friday, November 14.

He denied one count of indecent assault on a male.

This takes his total offences to 40, committed over 20 years.

Denning, 73, of Basildon in Essex, frequented the Walton Hop, Walton, a teen disco started in 1958, about five miles from Jimmy Savile's haunt, the Duncroft Approved School.

Denning was one of the original Radio 1 line-up and was first arrested as part of Operation Yewtree in June last year.

He is due to be sentenced on December 9.
