During Russell’s 18 October show the pair left four lewd messages on Sachs’ answer phone relating to his granddaughter, model Georgina Bailie. After apologising on air for his remarks this weekend, Brand later said in statement he took “complete responsibility” for the incident and said he’d simply become “caught up in the moment”.
