It has just been announced that Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross have both been suspended by the BBC over their recent prank phone calls to Andrew Sachs. We'll bring you more on this ridiculous story as it develops....

The BBC have just released the following statement:

“I would like to add my own personal and unreserved apology to Andrew Sachs, his family and to licence fee payers for the completely unacceptable broadcast on BBC Radio 2. BBC audiences accept that, in comedy performers attempt to push the line of taste. However, this is not a marginal case. It is clear from the views expressed by the public that this broadcast has caused severe offence and I share that view.

Since Sunday, I have been in regular contact with the senior executives I tasked with handling this issue. The investigation that I instructed Tim Davie (director of BBC audio and music) to conduct is nearing completion, and I am returning to London to review the findings and, in the coming days, announce what action we will take.

In the meantime, I have decided that it is not appropriate for either Russell Brand or Jonathan Ross to continue broadcasting on the BBC until I have seen the full report of the actions of all concerned. This gross lapse of taste by the performers and the production team has angered licence payers. I am determined that we satisfy them that any lessons will be learnt and appropriate action taken. I have been asked to report to the Trust's Editorial Standards Committee before the end of this week and will discuss with the Trust the findings of the report and the actions I propose.”

Geeze Louise it looks like this ridiculous story is just going to keep snowballing!!

  • whenever i see Russell i just want to give him a hug lol

  • is that marylebone at 40 seconds

  • I love Russell. At the end of this when he walks away with that smile on his face, he looks a bit sad. Makes you wanna give him a cuddle :(

  • I think I'll just make my comment simple and say "fuck off" to the lot of absolute losers who are involved in the paparazzi industry.

  • When do fuckers like you decide you are going into the wonderful world of paparazzi?

  • I feel that this video is a waste of bandwidth, you Paparazzi swan around with this facade of irrelevant bastion of questions in hope of actually getting an answer, YOU MAKE ME SICK! I'm glad that you've allowed comments to be displayed because at least you can allow constructive critisism.

    But you are all still a waste of space and should know better than to make judgement on celebrities lives when there is no justification for your own! Get a real job and stop thinking that you know best.

  • "Ha Russell, you feel untouchable?" You are a disgrace. You will die a lonely, sad, sad man.

  • lol your channel is a joke, no wonder russell is smiling.

    Your stood there like a twat - earning pennies from your crappy youtube account, whilst he walks past you smiling .... acknowledging the fact that no matter what you say to him, he's superior and earning at least 20 times what you ever will.

    His silence bares witness to how stupid you guys are lol

  • i saw him at a morrissey gig once, tried sayin hi to him but he completely blanked me. i still love him tho he's awseomeness personified

  • thats so horrible of you!! stop following people werever they go
