Perry talks about Brand's sex life to Jonathan Ross

Katy Perry will reveal all about her sex life with hubby Russell Brand after he complained about not getting as much sex since they married. The candid discussion will form part of a one-off show hosted by Jonathan Ross on ITV.

More superb comedy - in a deliberately late time slot, to prevent intelligent audiences switching off after Newsnight, apparently. Tonight's set is all about charity. Actually, this new series' opening episode was supposed to be all about charity too, but being his tangential self, Lee instead veered off into a riff about crisps, and it all went potato-shaped from there.

Audio: A coffee and a chat with Russell Brand

While promoting his new film Arthur, comedian and actor Russell Brand breaks off midway through interviews to grab a coffee.

What does he say when he returns? Brand told Colin Paterson on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I needed some caffeine!"
