Russell Brand has teamed up with Jonathan Ross for the first time since their infamous prank on actor Andrew Sachs.

The pranksters faced much heat after leaving a series of lewd messages on Sachs’ answering machine, including one in which Brand boasted about sleeping with the 78-year-old’’s granddaughter.

Brand later apologised for the “juvenile and thoughtless” remarks after the scandal provoked nationwide outrage that led to his resignation from BBC and a 12-week suspension for Ross, reports the Mirror.

The pair, that was not seen publicly together since the incident in October 2008, reunited for a recording of Channel 4′’s Big Fat Quiz of the Year.

Brand made the revelation on his Twitter page, saying: “Did Big Fat Quiz of the Year yesterday – on a team with Jonathan. So that”ll be no bother then.”
