Some content featuring the TV personality, who is facing a series of serious sexual assault allegations, has been taken off the BBC’s iPlayer and Sounds sites.
A spokesperson for the BBC press office said: “The BBC does not ban or remove content when it is a matter of public record, unless we have justification for doing so.
“There is limited content featuring Russell Brand on iPlayer and Sounds.
“We’ve reviewed that content and made a considered decision to remove some of it, having assessed that it now falls below public expectations.”
