## Summary

Noel Fielding has said he is “appalled” by jokes he made alongside Russell Brand, after Brand was jailed for rape and sexual assault. Fielding said he was horrified by Brand’s crimes, was unaware of them until they became public, and regrets remarks he now considers inappropriate.

The jokes, including comments about rape, appeared in resurfaced footage from television and a 2007 BBC Radio 2 programme; the pair also performed charity shows together. Fielding described their connection as professional and said he had not been in contact with Brand for years. Brand was sentenced to 10 and a half years for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others; he denies non-consensual sexual activity and is being investigated over allegations by two more women.
