Have we not had a discussion about this? I'm surprised.

Seedy, sordid, unfunny little men pad obscene amounts of money to be obscene.

What's your view?

Or Philip Schofield

Hmm a lot of the comments refer to JR's SALARY, which I suspect is the real point behind a lot of the criticism

FGS it wasn't Terry Wogan that made the calls, it was Ross and Brand

The main moral of the story is (1) not to sleep with Russell Brand (can't believe any woman needs to be told that TBH) (2) if you do, not to brag that you are the granddaughter of a British comedy legend.

i knew dara at uni. lovely chap.

Slightly dissappointed to see Andrew sach's grandaughter has gone to The Sun, I smell Max Clifford.

She went to Max Clifford. Max Clifford went to the Sun.

Indeed. And while I don't think £18M (or whatever it is) is frankly necessary for anyone, I'd begrudge Dara a lot less than JR...

Dara O'Brien is lovely, but he is liked by about 20 middle aged people, whereas Ross and Brand, whether we like them or not, are enormously popular

MP, that's running awfully close to the "it was the woman's fault" argument. It was a shitty thing they did, and people are pissed off with the salary thing anyway, I think.

RE; The Sun?max Clifford thing So I guess she'll make money from it, which IMO doesn't show a lot of respect to her grandfather who is supposedly very upset.

Dara was at your uni, Aitch? And therefore mine?!!! When?? What?

nah, i was aa debater... lol, travelleda a bit.

Why isn't his salary a relevant point though MP?

I am not blaming the woman at all, RB and JR did a shitty thing but I am dissapointed that she appears to be coming down to their level by seeking publicity rather than doing the dignified (again IMO) thing of rising above it.

My spelling is shite today, sorry,

I am flabberghasted that any woman would sleep with Brand

This is a man who bragged in his autobiography about having sex with prostitutes that he wouldn't pay, and having sex with women who, when they asked him to give them an orgasm, threw them out of his house completely naked

He's hardly Mr Darcy is he?

MP - she slept with him in 2006, so she can only have been 20 or 21. Did you never do anything stupid at that age?

The comments about JR's salary are fair game given that we are paying it. I am certain that this had involved one of the commercial radio stations there would have been none of the furore and nobody would care how much he was paid or whether he kept his job.

she's 23 ad a satanic slut... why shouldn't she take advantage?

His salary is a perfectly relevant point, we are paying him to do this..

Can I just say that if anyone is considering it: DO NOT SLEEP WITH RUSSELL BRAND

Also: DO NOT SLEEP WITH JONATHAN ROSS
DO NOT SLEEP WITH TERRY WOGAN (just in case)
DO NOT SLEEP WITH PHILLIP SCHOFIELD (he gay, surely?)

perhaps russel should ring everyones grandad whose grandaughter he has slept with, don't think it would be long before he got lynched ..

she's 23 ad a satanic slut

I do like the sound of it but what does that MEAN?

"He's hardly Mr Darcy is he?" well, no, he's an arse (allegedly...), but that'll all the more reason he doesn't need public funding to display his arsiness...

oh god I'll try not to ..

I do not understand the appeal of Russell Brand in the slightest

But he does seem very popular

terry much more of a gent, mp. Though you shouldn't sleep with him as he is happily married...
