Singer Linda, 55, said she was supporting Rolf, then 44, on tour with her sisters when he cornered her while they were in South Africa.
Speaking to a UK newspaper, she claimed she was getting ready for a performance when the incident in a backstage corridor happened.

She said: “I had been to the loo and was walking to our dressing room. He suddenly came out of nowhere and in seconds his hands were all over me.
“He came right up to me and got me in a huge bear hug. His arms were all over my back, right around me so his hands were touching the sides of my breasts.”
Linda said that Rolf bizarrely began to lick her during the encounter, adding: “He rubbed up and down and started kissing and licking the back of my neck.

“He towered over me. If I’d had to fight him off, I couldn’t have. It was horrible and I was totally dumbstruck.”
After minutes of trying to escape him and asking him to stop, Linda said he eventually got off of her.
“After a couple of minutes of me trying to wriggle him off without him stopping, I whispered to him, ‘Please don’t Rolf, please stop.”
But Rolf, who was sentenced last week for sex charges, laughed at Linda’s panic. She continued: “He did stop then, but looked at me like I was an idiot. He laughed it off and said, ‘Don’t be silly, I’m only giving you a hug.”
Linda said that following the incident she made sure that she and her sisters, especially Coleen who was only eight at the time, were never alone with Rolf.

This is the first time Linda has ever spoken publicly of the events that happened with Rolf, and admits it’s because of the abuse her Coleen got when she opened up about being abused by Jimmy Savile.
She said: “But the fact is, he did do this to me, and I think it’s impoerant people talk about these things and that sexual predators like Harris and Savile and the rest of them are brought to task.”
