Vanessa Feltz recalls Russell Brand chat show encounter
Vanessa has previously described being friends with Russell when she appeared on his chat show in 2006.
She recalled admiring his style, but said she became uncomfortable when he directed sexual remarks towards her and her daughters.
According to her account, Russell asked whether he could “have sex with both me and my daughters”.
Speaking on This Morning, Vanessa described the comment as “a pretty revolting thing to say to anyone, especially a mum.”
She made note that one of her daughters was only 15 years old at the time.
Vanessa recalled the audience laughing and cheering at the crude remark. However, she admitted she “couldn’t pretend that was funny.”
“I didn’t think it was funny,” Vanessa added, to which Alison agreed.
“Plus, you could tell it wasn’t really a joke. It didn’t seem to be a joke,” she continued. It was then that Vanessa realised there was “something chilling about him.”
