Noel Gallagher opens up about his brother Liam on Oasis reunion tour: ‘He's been amazing'
Noel Gallagher has opened up about his feelings towards his long-estranged brother Liam during Oasis' sold-out global reunion tour for the first time, saying: 'He's been amazing … it's great being back in the band with Liam.' Oasis announced they would be reuniting in August 2024, 15 years after their split in 2009 when Noel quit the band after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer'. The brothers continued to trade barbs for years and rejected any suggestion they would bury the hatchet, making their reunion a pleasant surprise for their fans. At their first show in Cardiff, the crowd responded with whistles and applause when the brothers briefly embraced at the end of the gig. Speaking to TalkSport's Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on Tuesday, Noel Gallagher said he had been 'completely blown away' by the tour so far. 'Liam's smashing it. I'm proud of him,' he said. 'I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it, it's not in my nature. But I've got to say, I kind of look and I think, 'Good for you mate.' He's been amazing. 'It's great just to be back with Bonehead [Paul Arthurs] and Liam and just be doing it again,' he continued. 'I guess when it's all said and done we will sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in the band with Liam, I forgot how funny he was.' Noel said he was taken aback by the fan response at their first show in Cardiff in July. 'I can't speak for anyone else, but for me personally, I grossly underestimated what I was getting into. It was kind of after about five minutes, I was like, all right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?' he said. 'I've done stadiums before and all that, but I don't mind telling you, my legs had turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song. It's been an amazing thing. Really is an amazing thing. It's difficult to put into words, actually. 'Every night is the crowd's first night, you know what I mean? So every night's got that kind of same energy to it, but it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it.' Oasis has already played 17 dates across the UK and Ireland, and are continuing their away around the world with performances to come in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and South America. The Oasis Live '25 tour is due to end in November in Brazil.

Louis Theroux questions polyamory and 'trying everything on the buffet' as he admits marriage can be imprisoning in candid chat on his relationship
Louis Theroux questioned polyamory and 'getting to try everything on the buffet' in a candid new interview about love, relationships and his broadcasting career. Speaking with Rylan on the finale of BBC Sounds How to Be in Love on Wednesday, the documentary maker, 55, gave a rare insight into his relationship. Louis, who has been married to his wife Nancy Strang since 2012, quipped that while he has 'no plans' to be polyamorous, getting to the 'end of your life' without having fully explored everything could leave people with regrets. After meeting throuples and visiting marriage agencies in Thailand thanks to his documentaries, he shared how his career has challenged his thoughts on love. Louis told Rylan: 'I've never been [polyamorous], and I've no plans to. What I would also say is that what about being monogamous? 'Like, if you marry, marriage has been around for thousands of years, probably 2,000 / 3,000 years ago, people lived to be about 45, 50 if they were lucky.' He continued: 'You would be married for maybe 20 or 30 years. Now we live to be 90, 100, 110. You could be married for 90 years. 'Can you imagine being with one partner for 90 years? Would that be a life well lived? 'I mean, it's a bit almost crass to define things in those terms but it does feel imprisoning in an odd way, and don't you want to get to the end of your life and feel that you absolutely tried everything on the buffet?' Louis recalled the moment he fell in love with his wife Nancy and also candidly admitted that their relationship 'wasn't always easy.' He added: 'As someone who's been with my wife Nancy for more than 20 years, you've got to survive when the ecstasy isn't present in every moment. 'So love is also a practice, it's a discipline. You should think of it as the daily commitment you make to someone that you care about. 'The moment I fell in love with my wife was when I saw her dancing for the first time. It was like a second or third date, might have been fourth, and I realised that she had these moves. 'She's a dancer like not by training but just by natural she has a natural talent anyone who's seen her dance would tell you that.' Louis said: 'Can you imagine being with one partner for 90 years? Would that be a life well lived? 'It's a bit almost crass to define things in those terms but it does feel imprisoning' Louis revealed that at times in their relationship he 'wasn't always the man he needed to be' which caused problems. He explained: 'It took that kind of crisis of uncertainty to bring it to focus which led to us getting married. 'There was a time in our relationship when I thought I was in danger of losing her. And sometimes it's a terrible cliche, but the feeling of not knowing what you've got till it's gone. 'And that feeling of, it kind of brought everything into focus for me, but that moment, so the answer to the question is the moment of being in danger of losing Nancy was when I most keenly felt how committed I was to her.' The documentarian tied the knot with Nancy back in 2012, and they share three sons Albert, Frederick, and Walter.

Brookside child star is STILL acting 22 years after appearing in the iconic soap - here's the other shows he's starred in since
One of Brookside's most iconic child stars is still acting 22 years after his role in the famous soap, which is set for a surprise return this autumn. Jack McMullen, now 34, made his name over two decades ago when he played Josh McLoughlin in the soap. His character was born after a one-night stand between Mike Dixon (Paul Byatt) and his stepmother, Bev (Sarah White). Things turned messy when Ron Dixon (Vince Earl) wanted to adopt the youngster, but his son Mike prevented it, with Ron and Bev tying the knot before leaving the famous road for a new life with Josh. After waving goodbye to the soap in 2003, young star Jack has carved out a successful acting career with a vast range of television roles. He landed the role of Tigger Johnson in the iconic kids' show Grange Hill, which he starred in for four years. Two years later, he landed another part in a major drama, this time as Finn Sharkey in Waterloo Road. In more recent years, he's starred in hard-hitting roles such as the jail drama Time, and the heartbreaking ITV series Little Boy Blue. Earlier this year, Jack starred as Jamie Phelan in the hit BBC drama This City Is Ours opposite Sean Bean and James Nelson-Joyce. In 2023, he also played Lewis in the Apple TV series Hijack, which stars Idris Elba in the main role. On Saturday, Channel 4 announced that Brookside will be returning to screens for a historic crossover episode as part of Hollyoaks' 30th Anniversary celebrations. The soap, set in Liverpool, chronicled the lives of characters living in 13 houses on a cul-de-sac called Brookside Close. And while its unclear if Jack will reprise his role, fans can expect some of its big names to return for the one-off episode. Executive Producer Hannah Cheers told the publication: 'This episode is a love letter to both Hollyoaks and Brookside. 'Brookside gave birth to Hollyoaks — it grew up on the same site and eventually took over its sets. 'For everyone at Lime Pictures (originally Mersey TV), Hollyoaks' history is deeply rooted in Brookside, and its legacy lives on through our crew and, of course, some of our cast.' Brookside originally aired on the first day that Channel 4 was broadcast on November 2 in 1982 and proved an instant hit with viewers. Fan favourites included Bobby and Sheila and Grant, played by Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston. The show launched the careers of many industry heavyweights including Anna Friel, Amanda Burton and Claire Sweeney. At its peak, the show drew in audiences of nine million viewers before it came to a close on November 4 2003. Across its run, the show took on issues such as LGBT+ and hard hitting storylines like rape, bullying and incest. In 1985, teenage character Gordon Collins came out to his family as gay on the soap. The character, played by both Mark Burgess and Nigel Crowley, became the first ever openly gay character in a British TV series when the episode aired. Brookside also had the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss in British history between characters Beth Jordache, played by Anna Friel, and Margaret Clemence, who was portrayed by future Emmerdale actress Nicola Stephenson. Anna's career has taken her to America where she has appeared in the comedy series Pushing Daisies, opposite Susan Sarandon in country music drama Monarch and alongside Bradley Cooper in the film Limitless. Silent Witness actress Amanda, Hollyoaks actress Alex Fletcher, and West End musical star Claire Sweeney also began their careers on the soap.
