PR guru Max Clifford has been charged with 11 counts of indecent assault against teenage girls, Scotland Yard said.

The force said Clifford, who answered police bail today, faces charges linked to girls aged between 14 and 19 between 1966 and 1985.

Clifford, 70, who was arrested in December as part of the inquiry sparked by abuse allegations against Jimmy Savile, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on May 28.

Clifford said the allegations were "completely false" and vowed to "clear my name in a court of law."
