Russell Brand reunites with fellow Sachsgate prankster Jonathan Ross
December 9th, 2009 - 1:58 pm ICT by ANILondon, December 9 (ANI): Russell Brand has teamed up with Jonathan Ross for the first time since their infamous prank on actor Andrew Sachs.
The pranksters faced much heat after leaving a series of lewd messages on Sachs’ answering machine, including one in which Brand boasted about sleeping with the 78-year-old’s granddaughter.
Brand later apologised for the “juvenile and thoughtless” remarks after the scandal provoked nationwide outrage that led to his resignation from BBC and a 12-week suspension for Ross, reports the Mirror.
The pair, that was not seen publicly together since the incident in October 2008, reunited for a recording of Channel 4’s Big Fat Quiz of the Year.
Brand made the revelation on his Twitter page, saying: “Did Big Fat Quiz of the Year yesterday - on a team with Jonathan. So that’ll be no bother then.” (ANI)
