Georgina Baillie speaks out against Russell Brand and Jonathon Ross. Transcript of The Messages Here!
Transcript on the infamous phone messages here!
Georgina Baillie, 23, former lover of Russell Brand, 33, spoke out today in the Sun newspaper after a practical joke by Russell Brand and Jonathon Ross went horribly wrong.
During Russell Brand’s Radio 2 show Jonathon Ross had phoned Andrew Sachs, 78 (Manuel) off Fawlty Towers at two in the morning and told the veteran actor that Brand had slept with his granddaughter. The pair then followed this up with a string of lewd and offensive phone messages which went on to Mr Sach’s answering machine.
Calls have been flooding in from all over the world. Such is the huge response to this situation. I think strong feeling is also a retaliation against the high price of the Television Licence fee, and when something like this goes wrong with the system the BBC are putting themselves well and truly in the firing line. Someone will be made an example of and that will probably happen tomorrow when the findings of the enquiry are disclosed to the public.
Dressed in a provocative red dress for the photo shoot, Georgina had this to say: “I am utterly horrified and disgusted”. She continued, that the millionaire presenters were “cruel sickos” and that they should be given the sack. She also feels that the producers of the show should go too for allowing the show to be aired with the unedited, offensive messages included.
Brand and Ross sent these messages to her grandfather as a practical joke which got out of hand. The Radio 2 show was pre-recorded and it was promised to Mr Sachs that the highly inappropriate messages concerning his granddaughter would be removed…
Georgina said “What happened between us, (referring to Brand) was supposed to be private but he is clearly no gentleman”. “Worst of all, my poor grandfather had to confront the fact I’d slept with such a rat. I have now been put in a position where I’ve felt obliged to explain myself to him”.
Russell Brand resigned today saying he was sorry he had let the BBC down.

What a shocker that she decided to speak to The Sun about it all… and pose in a provocative red outfit at the same time.
She’s clearly hating all the media attention that’s coming her way because of this… You’ve covered the issue excellently as ever. Your news reports are always brilliant to read, very flowing, and extremely interesting too; you make an absolutely magnificent news reporter and I look forward to reading many more news stories from you in the future.
Every young woman loves attention, a star or not so this is how life is. SHe is just no different that the others.
