Brand on the radio again

...and he wants Ross as his first guest

Russell Brand is to present his first radio show since the Andrew Sachs debacle – and has joked that he wants Jonathan Ross to join him.

The comic is to present a one-off football show for Talksport with his friend Noel Gallagher.

Brand revealed the news with a Twitter update, writing: ‘It’s true, myself and Britain’s favourite swearer are doing a radio special on football. Let’s hope Noel doesn’t get me in trouble/twouble.

‘Me and Gallagher will turn Talksport into the fulcrum of the revolution. If we can just get Wossy [Jonathan Ross] to come on as a guest a new dawn will rise.’

Brand also used the microblogging website to reveal he is working on a follow-up to his first autobiography, My Booky Wook.

‘Writing Booky Wook 2,’ he twittered. ‘It starts with me becoming famous. Your tweeted suggestions will make it the most contentious book since Mein Kampf.’
