On the tenth day of the trial of Russell Brand, it was a non-sitting day for the jury. So, instead – you asked, we answered. We took the time to answer some of the many questions we’ve received. Will Russell Brand be cross-examined? And who is the Russell Brand look-alike who’s been in court every day?

We’re also joined by court artist Priscilla Coleman, whose beautiful sketches have been making the rounds on social media. She tells us how she captures the scene through notes like “blonde potato”.

The prosecution case will resume on Monday.

Russell Brand denies all the allegations against him.

Rosamund Urwin and Charlotte Wace are in court every day (when the jury is), and then join Luke Jones to unpack it all.
