Police in the UK are approaching the paper which brought allegations to light against Russell Brand and one of his former employers. 

The comedian has been accused of rape and sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013. 

Police have gone to Channel 4 and The Sunday Times to make sure any victims of crime can be made aware of how they can report it to police. 

UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby Brand is denying the accusations and isn't stepping out of the spotlight.

“He went ahead with a scheduled gig on Saturday night. He started an hour late – people thought he wasn’t going to turn up but he did. He received a very warm response.”

Meanwhile, the Trevi Women & Children's Charity in the UK has announced it has ended its association with the star.
