Radio presenter Jo Whiley says an old message from comedian Russell Brand has left her deeply uncomfortable following his convictions for rape and sexual assault

Speaking on her Dig It podcast with Zoe Ball, Whiley explained that Brand had signed her show book with a crude reference to her

She said the page now feels distressing and that she may remove it

Whiley and Ball also discussed the emotional impact of the verdict on victims and other women

Brand was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison after being convicted of offences against four women.
