The shamed PR guru, who died in jail, was secretly recorded speaking about the billionaire Harrods owner in footage that was aired last night in a new BBC documentary.
Convicted paedophile Max Clifford boasted of covering up for 'randy old sod' Mohamed Al Fayed because he 'paid £250,000 to local children's hospice'.
When Clifford is asked whether that could be interpreted as Al Fayed paying off his victims, he said: 'Well you know in that situation, if he is groping 17-year-olds that are quite willing because they are being paid a lot of money - fine.'

Mr Atkins approached Clifford for a normal sit-down interview at his palatial mansion in Surrey to talk about how he and other PR gurus covered up damaging stories about their clients.
Clifford, who died in 2017 after being jailed for sex offences, tried to suppress Chris Atkins's film with legal action.

The BBC documentary about Al Fayed was released just over a year after his death in August last year at the age of 94.
