Former detective and investigator Mark Williams-Thomas has revealed he has had two other people approach him with abuse allegations against two “high profile” celebrities.

Mr Williams-Thomas also revealed he had another person approach him with an allegation against comedian Russell Brand, when he appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday.

He said: “I’ve had two other people who have come to me about two other very high profile people and want to report abuse.
