Comedian Katherine Ryan has said she feels "grief and relief" after Russell Brand was convicted of rape and sexual assault.

The Canadian stand-up and TV star said there were "a lot of women speaking privately and quietly" following Thursday's verdict, who feel "a very nuanced mix of emotions".

Ryan had previously claimed in a 2022 BBC TV documentary interview with Louis Theroux that there was "predator" in the entertainment industry.
