Amid the recent allegations against Russell Brand, the BBC has announced an internal review of the comedian's time with them.
Brand hosted a series of programs on BBC 6 Music and Radio 2 between 2006 and 2008 as well as being a guest on other shows, overlapping with the period of time the allegations fall within.
The BBC has now removed programming featuring Brand from their streaming services, saying it now “falls below public expectation.”
UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby that the BBC may have more to answer for, as one of the victims alleges that she was picked up by a chauffeur driven car provided to Brand by the BBC, who brought her to his house.
