Feltz loves Brand's texts

27/12/2006

Television presenter and journalist Vanessa Feltz has told of the "suggestive" text messages she receives from comedian Russell Brand.

Speaking of her friendship with the Big Brother's Big Mouth presenter, Vanessa confessed to being the recipient of many interesting text messages from Brand, something she hopes won't stop anytime soon.

She said: "I've been a great fan and friend and the recipient of many titillating texts from him which I thoroughly enjoy receiving. Long may they continue!"

Vanessa, 44, could not praise the quirky comedian and backcombed Casanova enough when speaking to the Jewish Chronicle, saying: "I can't claim to be the first to have discovered Russell, but I was on one of his shows about three or four years ago and I thought this guy's a genius."

The Celebrity Big Brother star appeared as a guest on Brand's new show, Russell Brand's Got Issues, in October and adores the stand-up star, describing him as an, "extraordinary, mercurial, Renaissance man".

Her new show, Vanessa's Real Lives, is currently airing on ITV and is hoped to be more successful than her failed chat show which was cancelled by the BBC in 1999 when some of the guests were discovered to be actors.
