Scottish journalist who helped uncover Brand allegations tells how comic's boast left her chilled

- SALLY HIND

A SCOTS journalist behind the bombshell Russell Brand documentary has told how her team exposed allegations of rape and sexual assault against the comic.

Geraldine McKelvie, from Wishaw, Lanarkshire who previously worked for our sister paper the Daily Mirror - was part of a unit which probed a series of claims made against the star by four women, spanning seven years.

The allegations formed part of a report published by the Times, Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches, and have been strenuously denied by the 48-year-old stand-up.

But they have sparked huge reaction since the explosive documentary, In Plain Sight, was aired on Saturday night - with fresh allegations since emerging.

Brand has strongly denied any wrongdoing.

Geraldine, a senior journalist at Channel 4's Dispatches Investigations Unit, said the team worked hard to bring the women's stories to light and uncovered "chilling" archive footage relevant to the case.
