Abbey Titmuss picked up the Laftas award for Funniest Man - but promised to pass it on to Russell Brand.

The model collected the award at the Loaded magazine ceremony after Brand left the bash in a hurry.

The comedian was at the Sketch bar, in London, earlier in the night but reportedly made an exit after befriending Titmuss. "You like sex too," he told her, according to the Daily Mirror. "You are filthy, aren't you?"

After appearing on stage to take the award on his behalf, she told the paper: "I'll be seeing him later to give him his award. He can't say anything to shock me - I've heard much filthier stuff."
