"Russell Brand has announced that he is resigning from his Radio 2 show. The star had been suspended by BBC bosses following prank phone calls made by him and Jonathan Ross to former Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs. Brand earlier made a public apology to Sachs, claiming that he took &amp;quot;complete responsibility&amp;quot; for the stunt and that he was &amp;quot;caught up in the moment&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sorry that I have upset Mr Sachs,&amp;quot; he told reporters outside his London home. Ross has also apologised for his behaviour, saying in a statement: &amp;quot;I am deeply sorry and greatly regret the upset and distress that my juvenile and thoughtless remarks on the Russell Brand show have caused.&amp;quot; He said he had waited until now to release a statement because he planned to apologise on his chatshow Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. He added: &amp;quot;However, it was a stupid error of judgement on my part and I offer a full apology.&amp;quot; Sachs has said that he is &amp;quot;not surprised&amp;quot; by the BBC&amp;#039;s decision to suspend the presenters.
