Noel Fielding has said he is "appalled" by jokes he made alongside Russell Brand when the pair appeared together on TV and at live shows.

The Great British Bake Off presenter said in a statement to the Sun he was "horrified and deeply disturbed" to learn of Brand's crimes, after the disgraced comedian was jailed for rape and sexual assault.

Footage of Fielding and Brand joking about rape with TV presenter Jonathan Ross on an episode of Channel 4's Big Fat Quiz of the Year in 2007 has resurfaced in the aftermath of Brand's conviction.
