91热爆

Investigations have been launched by the 91热爆 and Channel 4 after comedian and actor Russell Brand was accused of rape and sexual assault.

The allegations were made in a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, the Times and Channel 4's Dispatches released over the weekend.

Russell Brand has denied the allegations, saying his relationships have been "always consensual" - and appeared at a gig on Saturday night.

Speaking to Today's Mishal Husain, Conservative MP Caroline Nokes, who chairs the Women and Equalities Committee, called the allegations "incredibly shocking and criminal".

Nick Robinson also spoke to former Editor of the Sun David Yelland and Lorraine Heggessey, former 91热爆 One controller, who said that during Brand's time on 91热爆 Radio, there was "an inability to rein him in" after he made inappropriate remarks about a newsreader.
