The 23-year-old granddaughter of ‘Fawlty Towers’ star Andrew Sachs was recently revealed as a member of a raunchy burlesque dance group; this is news in itself, but how her hobby was outed has become the bigger story. Aspiring actress Georgina Baillie, also known as Voluptua, was thrust into the limelight after two UK D-listers, Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross, broadcast lewd phone calls made to her 78-year-old grandfather on a BBC Radio 2 program.

The two presenters left messages on her grandfather’s phone exposing Baillie’s sexcapades with them. The show was pre-recorded, so the BBC approved its content for broadcast. Following an outpouring of criticism from the public, however, the BBC has suspended Brand and Ross and has begun an investigation into the lewd messages.

So Ross alone is paid £18 million a year alone and has now been suspended... Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand are to be suspended and all their shows taken off air until the BBC has investigated their prank calls made on Radio 2. This is MAJOR news - if your not from the UK then to give you an idea it is a lead story on all news channels. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7696714.stm

"A collective madness seems to have seized the country. The news is still fixated on Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's unfunny prank call. From a programme that elicited just two complaints, tens of thousands of people every day are now queuing up to complain. It's like when Princess Di died - everyone just wants to be involved." Pop Bitch genius take on the news...
