Russell Brand plans to flee to Los Angeles to escape the furore surrounding his controversial prank calls to actor Andrew Sachs, according to reports.

The granddaughter of actor Andrew Sachs tonight said she was thrilled to hear that BBC presenters Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand had been suspended over their lewd phone calls.

Jonathan Ross has publicly apologised for the lewd phone messages he and Russell Brand left for Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs.
