Baillie: 'Sachsgate hasn't blown over'

Andrew Sachs's granddaughter Georgina Baillie has revealed that Sachsgate 'has not blown over' for her grandparents.

In 2008, comedian Russell Brand and TV presenter Jonathan Ross left obscene comments on Sachs's answering machine during a BBC radio show. The messages detailed a fling Brand had with Baillie.

The scandal prompted a large number of complaints to the channel, resulting in Ross being suspended from the company and Brand resigning.

According to Yahoo, the 25-year-old former burlesque dancer said: "Unfortunately this whole thing has not really blown over for my grandparents. There's an occasional email sent but... I don't want to cause them any more stress than I already have."

She added: "I love them very much and I feel awful for anything that I've done that has made them have anything other than what they deserve, which is a happy, calm life. I want them to see what I'm doing now, and I want them to be able to call me their granddaughter and be proud of it."
