Lorraine Kelly has told how she was left 'uncomfortable' by Russell Brand after he touched her thigh and called her a "slut" during an appearance on the Graham Norton Show in 2007.
Allegations of rape and sexual assault have been made against the 48-year-old comedian following an investigation by The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches. Brand has denied the allegations made against him.
Lorraine, 63, had previously interviewed Brand, 48, several times where she said he was 'charming and flirty' but admitted looking back at her appearance on the chat show now makes her feel uncomfortable.
In a clip of the unearthed TV appearance, the pair are sat side-by-side as the comedian and Brand places his hand on Lorraine's thigh. Stopping in his tracks, he told the audience: "You're wearing suspenders! Jesus Christ! I’ve taken off more than I can chew. I’m out of my depth."
The audience erupted into laughter and Lorraine and host Graham Norton could be seen giggling along too when Russell went on to say: "Yeah so I have been in other films but it doesn't seem to important now that Lorraine Kelly's a slut."
The veteran presenter today admitted on her show to journalist Paul Brand and Mirror editor Alison Phillips that she felt uncomfortable looking back, and if it were to happen now she wouldn't allow it.
Lorraine said: "It's so interesting, you know I interviewed him a lot over that time when he was very, very famous and in the public eye and I usually got the charming, flirty Russell, of course it's different, we're older I've been doing this for a long, long time. And I would like to think there was a little tiny bit of respect there, maybe.
"Although, this happened on The Graham Norton Show, now it was back in 2007, but have a look..."
