Moment Russell Brand jokes with Jonathan Ross about how being in jail cells is ‘tiresome and lonely’ – as he makes Lindsay Lohan visibly uncomfortable on chat show

A 2014 television clip has resurfaced showing Russell Brand joking about time in police cells while Lindsay Lohan appears uncomfortable beside him. It is attracting renewed attention as Brand begins a 10-year sentence for rape and sexual assault, and amid a fresh police investigation into further allegations against him.

In the clip, Brand describes detention after his 2012 arrest in New Orleans, making light of the cells and police procedures. Lohan recounts serving 14 days of a 90-day jail sentence after breaching probation linked to drink-driving; she says she spent 14 days in solitary confinement and found the experience frightening, though also unexpectedly quiet.
