Russell Brand has reportedly described former wife Katy Perry as an "arse-ache".

The pair finalised their divorce on Monday (July 16) - months after initiating proceedings on their split.

The Sun reports that Brand filmed an episode of his new chat show Brand X only hours after the divorce was signed off.

Brand is said to have been speaking to a member of the audience called Katy about whether or not her boyfriend could satisfy her in bed.

After speaking to her, Brand is reported to have quipped: "Anyway, enough of you, I've had enough arse-ache from people called Katy in the last year."
