Russell Brand email: divorce was his biggest mistake

It has been reported that Russell sent the 27-year-old singer an emotional e-mail in which he has asked for a second chance and said ending their 14 month marriage was a 'mistake'.

The showpiece of Channel 4's new Friday night comedy line-up is a brand new impressions show.

Morgana Robinson appears with one of her co-stars from The Morgana Show, Terry Mynott - a comedy actor so unfamous he doesn't even have his own Wikipedia page yet.

But he absolutely steals this first episode with his spot-on take of the BBC's favourite groovy scientist Professor Brian Cox, posing in front of areas of natural beauty wearing high street brands.

It's the voice that makes it so funny - and it's a parody that's cutting but sweetly affectionate too.

I doubt though that Bear Grylls will be as pleased with the job they've done on him as he tries to survive in the suburbs.

Mynott's take on David Attenborough explaining the lifestyle of Frankie Boyle is another zinger.

Behind the rubber masks, it can be hard to tell who's doing who.

Morgana impersonates men too. Her Russell Brand isn't a patch on her Natalie Cassidy, though.

Russell Brand is 'doing well' after Katy Perry split

While we're all pleased to hear Russell Brand is 'doing well', our beloved outspoken Essex comedian appears to have gone all Hollywood on us.

I quite like Jack Whitehall. The posh thing no longer irritates and he was great in Fresh Meat. But the stand-up-meets-chat-show-meets-hidden-camera format of Hit The Road Jack is woefully thin. I know Channel 4's overgrown teens have finally accepted their Russell Brand crush will remain forever unrequited and have now switched to Jack instead. But if they keep giving him guff like this I fear they'll end up having their hearts broken again.

Russell Brand's girlfriend is model Nikolett Barabas

It may have come as a surprise that Russell Brand gave up his A-list wife to cavort with an unknown. But it seems the comedian's new squeeze is actually not quite as anonymous as first thought. The pretty brunette has been identified as Hungarian model Nikolett Barabas.
