Give It Up for Russell Brand

After celebrating ten drug-free years, comedian Russell Brand is fronting a campaign to raise awareness of the effects of drug abuse.

He's the legendary lothario who's been hailed as the most exciting comedian of his generation, and Brand's movie roles and high profile marriage to popstar Katy Perry have also helped cement his rise to the Hollywood A List.

In December Russell, 37, celebrated ten years of being drug free, and he joins us today to talk about the new campaign he's spearheading to raise money for Comic Relief and to promote awareness of the effects of drug abuse.

• Give It Up For Comic Relief is on BBC3, 6th March, 10pm
