BBC Radio 2 controller Lesley Douglas today resigned in the wake of the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross phone prank affair, saying she took responsibility for the events of the last two weeks, which she said had happened "on my watch".

Ross has been suspended from all BBC TV and radio services without pay for 12 weeks over his part in the prank calls to actor Andrew Sachs.

Mark Thompson, the BBC director general, said the contribution of the corporation's highest paid star to the "Sachsgate" prank calls "was utterly unacceptable and cannot be allowed to go uncensured or without sanction".

The BBC Trust also issued a statement expressing its "dismay" over the "deplorable intrusion" into the privacy of Andrew Sachs and his granddaughter and has ordered that an apology to licence fee payers must be broadcast on Radio 2.

Douglas, in a letter to Thompson, said: "The last week has been a painful one for the BBC and particularly for BBC Radio 2.

"The events of the last two weeks happened on my watch. I believe it is right that I take responsibility for what has happened.

"It is a matter of the greatest possible sadness to me that a programme on my network has been the cause of such a controversy.

"I would like to take this opportunity to offer my personal apology to Andrew Sachs and his family and to the audience for what has happened."
