Derren Brown has spoken about over the claims that his Channel 4 show Russian Roulette was faked.
The stunt, broadcast live on Sunday evening, showed Brown holding a six-cartridge gun to his head and repeatedly pulling the trigger until he arrived at the one contaiuning the real "live" bullet.
Since the show aired it has been claimed that the bullet was not in fact live at all, as well as wider allegations that the whole event was a faked publicity stunt.
"All the specific questions being asked were answered in the programme itself," Brown said on MTV's TRL this afternoon. "The whole thing leaving a question over whether it was even real or not is great - I love the speculation."
Russian Roulette drew over 3 million viewers to Channel 4.
