Brand has denied all the allegations against him, which were made in a report from The Times and an accompanying Dispatches documentary.

Now a video of him on Loose Women boasting about snogging the Duchess of Sussex.

Long before Meghan was a famous actress on Suits and Prince Harry's wife, she had a few bit parts in movies.

This included starring in Russell's 2010 film Get Him To The Greek where she played partygoer Tatiana.

In 2018, a week before her wedding to Prince Harry he revealed he had locked lips with the royal bride.

He bragged: "She was in a film that I was in, Get Him to the Greek, it was a good film.

“Meghan Markle, didn’t know at the time because she wasn’t married to a Royal person.

“I don’t remember the film that much, I think I planted one on her in the scene.

"It was scripted in the scene. I only know this because I think I saw a clip of it somewhere. Meghan Markle, there we go.

"They should bring that up [at the wedding]… if anyone has any reason… yeah Russell Brand snogged her in the film!”

Brand's alleged victims' claims range from rape to sexual assault, to emotional and physical abuse.

One woman claims she was a victim of an assault at Brand's home in 2013 after they met at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Another claimed that the comedian raped her up against a wall at his home in Los Angeles.

A third alleges he forced her to perform oral sex until she choked while she was just 16 and that she had to punch him in the stomach to make him stop.

A fourth woman accused him of sexually assaulting her as well as being both emotionally and physically abusive.

The fifth, Jordan Martin, claims he subjected her to emotional abuse, sexual abuse and made her brush her teeth so hard her gums bled.

Before the claims were published, Brand released a video denying the allegations, insisting that while he was "promiscuous", his relationships had always been consensual.

But the bombshell claims have seen a string of probes launched, including at the BBC.

A spokesperson for the corporation said: "The documentary and associated reports contained serious allegations, spanning a number of years.

"Russell Brand worked on BBC radio programmes between 2006 and 2008 and we are urgently looking into the issues raised."

It comes after production company Banijay UK, who ran Big Brother spin-off shows fronted by Brand in the early 2000s, launched a probe after similar allegations of misconduct emerged about his time at Channel 4.

A company statement read: "In light of the very serious allegations...relating to the alleged serious misconduct of Russell Brand produced by Endomol between 2004 and 2005 Banijay UK has launched an urgent internal investigation.

"We also ask anyone who feels that they were affected by Brand's behaviour while working on these productions to contact us in confidence."
