Noel Gallagher parties with unlikely TV legend - despite fact he's an enemy of brother Liam

NOEL Gallagher has formed an unlikely friendship with one of younger brother Liam’s showbiz enemies — comedian Peter Kay.

The High Flying Birds rocker, 55, was at one of the comic’s gigs last week and the pair hit it off backstage afterwards.

But it will not go down well with Liam, who fell out with Peter, 49, at the Brit awards in 2010.

Noel, was said to have been taken to the gig by a pal, who has been helping him get through his split from wife Sara MacDonald.

A source said: “Noel went to Peter’s Manchester gig last week and they met backstage and got on like a house on fire.

“They spent time together after the show and it was a great laugh.

Peter is a huge fan of Noel’s and it was a pleasure for him to welcome him. 

“Noel surprised some of the crowd at the arena who had no idea he’d be making an appearance.”

But while the bromance is brewing, Noel’s one-time Oasis bandmate Liam, 50, will be less than impressed.

He fell out with Peter after Liam threw his microphone into the crowd as he picked up a best album Brit award.

Peter, who was hosting the event at London’s O2 Arena, was then shown on screen to millions calling him a “k***head”.

Liam did not take kindly to the slur and went on Twitter to rant about the Bolton-born Phoenix Nights and Car Share star.

He tweeted: “Listen up fat f*** as a real northerner I was brought up 2 say s*** 2 people’s faces not behind their back. Live forever LG.” The following day Peter hit back, writing on his website: “So it was the Brits last night and I was honoured to be asked to host the show, especially with it being 30 years old.

“Congratulations to all the winners, including Noel Gallagher, who sadly didn’t get a mention (and who thankfully isn’t a k***head).”

When Peter announced in November he was making his live stand-up comeback after 12 years, Liam took another swipe. Asked if he would be going, Liam quipped: “F*** him the balloon knot.”
