The BBC has cut a joke about disgraced comedian Russell Brand from the 2008 Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.

This week, Brand, 56, was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison after being found guilty of raping a woman and sexually assaulting three others.

It now appears as though the BBC has made the decision to cut a joke about Brand’s infamous promiscuity from an episode of Gavin and Stacey, although it’s currently unknown when the edit was made.

In the edited scene, the Shipman and West families sit down for Christmas dinner while Nessa (Ruth Jones) tends to Neil, the baby.

When Nessa joins the families at the dinner table, she tells them she’s been reading to the baby to help him fall asleep.

‘What a little fairy story?’ asks Pam, to which Nessa replies: No. Russell Brand My Booky Wook. He’s loving every minute of it.’

After this, the families begin talking about Michael’s impressive cooking skills, but the scene didn’t originally play out this way.

In the original version, after Nessa mentioned My Booky Wook, Stacey asked if they got a mention in the book.

After Nessa confirmed they didn’t get a mention, Stacey says she’s disappointed, after which Nessa replies: ‘Don’t be, Stace. We had a cracking night, Pam. All three of us.’
