Brand, 48, has denied allegations of rape and sexual assault made by four women in an investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4's Dispatches.

He has not responded to the latest claims made in an interview aired yesterday, when Cole Parker told BBC's Newsnight: "A lot of the modelling agents would sit down and tell their models, tell their stable, warn them about him.

"Things like people go back to his house and they fool around and then if they didn't want to go all the way, he had a reputation.

"And given the fact that he was a celebrity, very good-looking man, very funny, he didn't really need to sort of operate that way.

"There would have been plenty of people happy to get involved in a dalliance with him. He didn't have to go with people who were reluctant to do so."
