Russell Brand resigns

Russell Brand has resigned from presenting his Radio 2 weekend show after his, and fellow DJ Jonathan Ross’, prank calls to Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs. 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”. Earlier today it was announced that the BBC had suspended both Brand and Ross for their comments.
