I was at a wedding last year at an estate in Yorkshire, and the staff said Russell had stayed there a few weeks previous. It was a beautiful country estate / farm with a lovely restaurant and courtyard for drinks/food etc. Lovely place.
Apparently Russell let his giant dog Bear maraud around the place, no lead at all, and the dog isn't very well behaved. He did the usual 'he's just saying hello' lines, when the dog was jumping up at diners and guests, and only grabbed it once it had knocked a load of tables over and ruined a lot of peoples meals. No apology at all, apparently.
