Liam Gallagher says his brother Noel turned down £100 million (€112 million) to reform Oasis for a tour.

Gallagher, 48, told The Jonathan Ross Show: “I think we’re both the problem…

“I’m half the problem, whereas I can’t be having him thinking I’m the full problem.

“He needs to take on some of the problem. The minute he does that we’ll move on.”

“He’s not into it is he? He’s after a knighthood isn’t he?”

But he quipped that the pair could do celebrity Bake Off together.

“Maybe we’ll just bake some bread and that or a cake or throw strawberries at each other. Have a cream fight,” he said.

Gallagher also told the ITV show he had to postpone his wedding to fiancee Debbie Gwyther because of the pandemic.

“I was meant to get married as well, so that was a bummer,” he said.

The chat show also features Bake Off co-host Matt Lucas, comics Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont, rapper and Dancing On Ice star Lady Leshurr and artist Grayson Perry.

Lady Leshurr was recently awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) after releasing a coronavirus-related song reminding people to wash their hands.

“The email they sent went into my junk. From the Cabinet Office. I thought, ‘This has to be a joke, has to be spam’,” she said.

“I’m not going to meet anybody, the royal garden party has been cancelled. I just wanted to meet the Queen.”

The Jonathan Ross Show airs tomorrow (Saturday) at 9.35pm on ITV.
