be\u00a0Channel 4, who will run a\u00a0Dispatches\u00a0programme on the subject tonight at 9pm.<\/p>\n<p>The 48-year-old slammed the accusations as &quot;untrue&quot; and said that they were part of a &quot;coordinated media attack&quot; against him for &quot;attacking mainstream media narratives&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he &quot;completely refutes&quot; the reports and claimed that all of his\u00a0relationships\u00a0were &quot;always consensual&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>The video seemingly received the backing of his sister-in-law\u00a0Kirsty Gallacher, who\u00a0shared the clip\u00a0to her own social media, though this has now been deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Brand was also\u00a0backed by controversial influencer Andrew Tate, who called the allegations against him &quot;crazy&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>However,
