Inside Noel Gallagher's tense feud with Lewis Capaldi and 'third world' Scotland
Noel Gallagher might be gearing up for the Oasis shows in Scotland, but he's previously hit out at one of the country's biggest stars. Liam and Noel are set to rock Murrayfield with three gigs on August 8, 9, and 12, each expected to draw mammoth crowds of over 67,000.
The anticipation is palpable as thousands still hope to get their hands on a last-minute ticket, but some Scots may have their excitement dampened upon recalling Noel harsh past comments about Scotland. Despite his then-wife Sara McDonald being from Edinburgh, Noel once went so far as to label Scotland a "third world country" during an interview.
Adding to the controversy, the singer has also had a spat with one of Scotland's most loved singers, Lewis Capaldi, who is often praised for his grounded personality, witty humour, and exceptional musical gift. The feud ignited when Noel admitted on Radio X in 2019 that he was clueless about the Scottish vocalist.
At the time, Lewis's first album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, had soared to number one in the UK and Ireland, becoming the year's quickest selling album.
Noel didn't mince words about the current state of music, declaring: "Music is f***ing w*** at the moment". He then took a swipe at the Glasgow-born Capaldi, asking: "Who's this Capaldi fella? Who the f***'s that idiot?" In typical Capaldi style, the Scottish singer had fans in stitches as he took to Instagram stories to mockingly celebrate Noel's disparaging remarks.
While watching the interview, Capaldi exclaimed: "F***ing c'mon! F***ing peaked – slagged off by Noel Gallagher!" He continued with glee: "Number 1 single – who gives a f**k? Number 1 album – who gives a f**k? Noel Gallagher has just slagged me off. This is dreams coming true."
Capaldi didn't hold back, cheekily wishing Gallagher a happy Father's Day while playing Oasis' 2002 anthem Stop Crying Your Heart Out. Noel quickly retorted with a tweet mocking Lewis' hit 'Someone You Loved', featuring a video of his then 11-year-old pretending to weep to the song.
His tweet read: "@LewisCapaldi you big daftie. You might wanna try and find some joy in your tunes, you're destroying the youth..my 11yr old is in bits."
Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now!
A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time.
This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show!
Undeterred, Lewis rocked up at Glastonbury Festival donning a classic Gallagher-esque parka which he unzipped to reveal a tee emblazoned with the Oasis star's face encased in a heart.
Capaldi escalated the banter by posing for a backstage photo with Noel's formerly estranged brother and Oasis bandmate, Liam Gallagher. Noel, clearly irked, mentioned Lewis' antics in a Variety interview and savagely mocked the singer's looks.
The High Flying Birds frontman declared: "F****** Chewbacca should enjoy his 15 minutes. The greatest day of his life that I slagged him off or called him an idiot. It's the greatest day of his f****** life so far. He's just thinking 'Wow.

"Well, I know you're Scottish and all that, but f****** hell. It is like a third world country, but for f***'s sake, man, you must have had a better day than this. Surely."
Lewis had supporters in stitches yet again when he promptly updated his Twitter handle to "Chewis Capaldi" and switched his profile image to a doctored photo showing his face superimposed onto the iconic Star Wars character's body.
Nevertheless, the duo have since buried the hatchet and have actually crossed paths on several occasions. Noel has now described Lewis as a "good lad" following all his earlier digs at the singer.
Noel and Liam have also set aside their rivalry and are presently touring across the UK as part of their Oasis Live 25 shows.
viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

Love Island's India Reynolds reveals she's found love after All Stars with new boyfriend she met on Hinge
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star India Reynolds has revealed she's found love after after meeting her new man on dating app Hinge. India, 34, took part on All Stars in January but was dumped from the villa after Tina Stinnes stole Scott Thomas from her in the recoupling. 4 India Reynolds has revealed she's found love after All Stars Credit: Instagram 4 The reality star said she met her new man on dating app Hinge Credit: Instagram 4 India was the first Islander to be dumped from the villa on the All Stars series this year Credit: ITV But it looks like her luck is changing after the brunette beauty decided to jump back into the dating pool after the show. India said: "I was in a long-term relationship and then single for three years, I think I got the fear of dating. "You know when you go on those dates on the show, you feel so awkward. "It just put the first date fear of god into me and I didn't date for ages." Appearing on Olivia Attwood's So Wrong It's Right podcast, the host was keen to find out if she was dating again. India shared that she had initially been blocked from the dating app after it was thought her profile was fake. But after the hiccup, India was back on the site and ready to find love. India revealed: "After I came out of this series, the All Stars in January, I was like 'I need to get my act together' because I haven't dated anyone properly in ages, I'm getting older, I want to have kids... get a move on. "I downloaded Hinge and thought this is going to be great for me and then they deleted my profile for impersonation, they thought it was a fake account. "I had to redownload it and I had to send my passport and go through this whole palaver just to go on a first date with someone." Love Island viewers after star makes VERY rude comment about rival's family member She then shared her excitement of her blossoming new romance, saying: "But I finally got it back, went on a first date and the first guy I went on a date with was really nice. Olivia then asked if she was still dating the mystery man and a smitten India confirmed they were an item. It February India posted a dig at show partner Scott Thomas on her page. The model was dumped from the island alongside Marcel Somerville, but had spent the first week getting closer to Scott. However, their potential romance ground to a halt after a brutal game of Truth or Dare. After India declared him the 'most calculated in the villa', shortly after he saw his head turn towards bombshell Tina Stinnes, Scott didn't look too happy. It prompted him to declare: "That's just given me the ick mate. Big." But the swipe against her doesn't seem to have phased India, and in a TikTok in her car she is seen lipsyncing to a trend saying: "Did I say that? Did I? Do you know what, I don't remember saying that." She wrote across the clip: "Scott after calling me an ick." India was previously hailed the "most beautiful" Love Island contestant - before her beauty secrets were revealed. After leaving the villa, India admitted she had her eye on someone else on the show – but didn't make a move because of their age. "I think if Luca was a bit older then maybe Luca," India exclusively told The Sun. India previously took part on Love Island in 2019, during series five. She entered the villa as a bombshell and reached the final with Ovie Soko, finishing in third place, but the pair split four months after.

Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty were living separate lives before shock split
TV duo Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley have announced they are separating, with the decision coming almost two years after the pair were last seen in public together Comedian Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley have announced their shock split after 13 years of marriage. However, the duo were seemingly living separate lives in the build-up to the surprise announcement. The TV duo revealed today (Tuesday, July 29) that they are no longer a couple in a bombshell statement. But prior to the announcement the pair hadn't been pictured together in public in over a year. The last snap of the couple side by side was taken in 2023. They appeared happy in the image as they attended the Ballywalter London premiere at The May Fair Hotel on September 18, 2023. At the time, she shared a post on her social media with the duo smiling as they got ready for the occasion and then sat in the crowd. Patrick was later welcomed on stage. Cat wrote on her Instagram: "Magical evening last night at the London Premiere of @BallywalterFilm!. Celebrating the talents of @PatricKielty & @SeanaKerslake, director @PrasannaBanana, and the brilliant cast & crew! (+ @EdiBow… the hostess with the mostest!) #BallywalterFilm is in cinemas very soon on 9/22 !!" A month later and Patrick made his final appearance on the This Morning star's Instagram page. And fast forward almost two years and the couple is no more after seemingly fading out of Cat's social media presence. It also comes after Cat didn't send Patrick a fathers day message last month. The exes share two kids together. Prior to their announcement, the couple had moved their family from Los Angeles to London in 2023. It came after living in the States for 15 years. Now, in a joint statement released to the PA news agency, they said: 'We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. 'We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment." While Cat became the face of ITV's morning show, Patrick hosted RTE's The Late Late Show. She had previously opened up on the challenges they faced when it came to balancing motherhood and presenting the show. She acknowledged the "juggle" was "real". In March this year, Cat missed the funeral of Patrick's mum's funeral in Northern Ireland. Heartbreaking pictures showed a grief-stricken Patrick carrying her coffin through the streets. Hundreds had turned out to line the streets as those closest to Mary and her family joined together for a ceremony at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Dundrum. At the time, a spokesperson told the Mirror that Cat had remained at home to care for their young sons Milo and James. They said: "Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day." The couple met during their time hosting Fame Academy together in 2002. Their first public appearance as a couple came nine years later in 2011. They tied the knot a year later in September 2012 at a ceremony in Rome. During a 2020 appearance on Ireland's The Late Late Show, then hosted by Ryan Tubridy, Cat shared how her husband had initially wooed her: "We had been friends for a very, very long time. Since we did [TV show] Fame Academy and all that," she said. "We would always call each other on birthdays or Christmas, or we'd see each other occasionally or whatever it was. Anyway, there was a night where it was the day before my birthday. I can't even remember what birthday it was now! It was 30-something. Anyway, he called me and he spoke to me on the phone." The mum-of-two went on to say: "He said, 'Oh, what are you doing for your birthday? I'm just ringing to say happy birthday.' I said, 'Oh, we're going to the Beverly Hills Hotel. We're just going to have a late brunch; it's going to be very civilised. It's a shame you're not here, otherwise you could come'. And he was like, 'Well, eh I'll be there'.""Now, bear in mind at this point, Ryan, he was at the Maghera Inn down the end of the road, and in Ireland, I think it was approximately three o'clock in the morning, so I wasn't too sure! I was like, 'Yeah, yeah, sure you will. Sure you will, Charlie Big Bananas, sure you'll be there! I'll hold you a seat, how about that?""Anyway, I didn't know this, but he basically stumbled home from the pub, set an alarm clock, booked a flight to go back to Heathrow I think the first flight out."

Three clues Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty had secretly split as they announce marriage is over after 13 years together
CAT Deeley and Patrick Kielty shocked fans today by confirming they had split after 13 years of marriage. The couple, who first met as co-hosts on BBC's Fame Academy back in 2002, released a joint statement today confirming the news. 8 8 The pair waited 10 years before turning their relationship romantic, beginning to date in 2011 before getting married in 2012. But today they wrote: "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. "We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. "There will be no further comment." While it might come as a surprise to many who considered the couple rock solid, some clues about their marriage woes have now become more obvious. Cat Misses Patrick's Mum's Funeral 8 One of the key signs that something was off between the two was when Cat opted to miss Patrick's mum's funeral earlier this year. Mary Kielty died in March, with Patrick acting as one of the pallbearers at the sad farewell in Dundrum, Ireland. A death notice described Mrs Kielty as a "loving mother" and "devoted grandmother" and added that she "will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her entire family circle, neighbours and friends". Cat opted not to attend, with a statement at the time declaring: "Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day." The presenter continued to appear on This Morning as usual in between school drop-off and pick-up. Social Media Absence 8 Neither Patrick nor Cat have made much mention to each other for over a year on their social media – despite being regular users. Patrick, who uses Instagram less frequently than Cat, hasn't posted about her since she first got her job on This Morning back in June 2024. At the time, the post was gushing, saying she was "made for a show" like This Morning thanks to her bright demeanour, being an early bird, and love of a good natter. Alongside a montage of his wife, he wrote: "I didn't know what a morning person actually was until I met this woman. "She gets up every day with a smile on her face. A 5.30am, whistling in the shower, smile on her face. "Then downs two coffees, and gives you the look. The 'what the f*€K's wrong with you, let's do this' look. "It's not a pretend smile. And it's not just some mornings. It's every morning. Which is bloody difficult cos she's married to me." But fast forward a year and he has not posted about her since, with Cat not mentioning him either – not even on Father's Day six weeks ago, instead opting to just post a photo on her grid of her with her own dad as a child. Leading Separate Lives 8 8 Cat and Patrick have both found success as TV presenters, but their roles have often meant that they are sent to opposite sides of the world. When they first got together in 2011, Patrick quickly moved into Cat's home in Los Angeles in order to accommodate her career move over there. But since then, Patrick's work has largely remained in his native Ireland, particularly since 2023 when he was announced to be the new permanent host of country favourite talk show, RTÉ's The Late Late Show. He also hosts a Saturday morning show for BBC Radio 5 Live. Meanwhile Cat has had success in both the UK ad the US, hosting long-running reality competition So You Think You Can Dance? since 2006 in Los Angeles, as well as her role on This Morning. As a result, Cat would split her time between each side of the Atlantic, and is now largely based in England due to her work commitments. The family home is in the UK, with her noting that the pair's two sons go to school here. However, after so many years with both batting around the globe, it would undoubtedly put pressure on their relationship. 8 8
