 Former Loose Women star Carol McGiffin has liked a Tweet calling Russell Brand a 'hero', sparking backlash. On Saturday, the actor and comedian, 48, was accused of rape, sexual assault and physical abuse, in a Channel 4 special episode of Dispatches airing in a joint investigation with The Times. Brand, who has denied the 'very serious allegations' in a video shared on Friday night, has been accused by multiple women, including one who claimed she was 16 years old at the time. Since then, the BBC and Channel 4 have launched investigations, while a women's charity have cut ties with the St Trinian's actor. Ahead of the allegations being revealed, a GB News presenter sparked outrage for saying Brand was being 'attacked' and that he was a 'hero'. Beverley Turner wrote: 'You are being attacked @rustyrockets. 'Establishment media don't know what to do with the fact that you have 6million subscribers & generate autonomous, knowing and original content. You are welcome on my @GBNEWS show anytime. 'We are mainstream media. But we are not Establishment media. There's a difference. Keep going. This proves you are winning. You're a hero.'

Russell Brand is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. And I bet that's never going to happen so they're trying to prosecute his case in the court of public opinion.' Another Tweet that Carol is said to have liked reads: 'They find and pay women to accuse anyone who speaks the truth. The timing is curi){kind=link}
