Scott Mills has revealed how he has secretly been feuding with Liam Gallagher for years - although he hopes they can reconcile.
The BBC Radio 2 DJ came clean about his relationship with the Oasis frontman in his memoir, Love You Bye.
Scott, 51, revealed he had a falling out with Liam in the late Nineties, when he felt the full force of Liam's wrath whilst backstage at Top Of The Pops.
With the Gallagher brothers going on tour in two weeks, it doesn't look like they'll be invited for an interview on Radio 2.
Writing in his memoir, Scott shared: 'I'd met them before and chatted to them briefly, so I thought that might be a bit of an in.

'They were absolutely huge at the time and renowned for being outspoken. Their radio plugger took me over to Liam and said, "You remember Scott, don't you? You've met him before." Liam looked me up and down and went, "Yeah, he's a c**t."'
Speaking about the situation today, Scott told The Sun: 'I think he's completely changed. I actually think I am completely changed, but I think he's probably a nicer man now.
'In the Nineties, it was the thing to be mean. All pop stars now are pretty nice. When I joined Radio 1 in '98, a lot were horrible as that was the thing to do. It doesn't happen any more.'
The iconic Manchester band are set to reunite in July for their first tour in 16 years, dubbed Oasis Live '25, after finally burying the hatchet last year.
The band have been busy rehearsing the past few days and frontman Liam said it's a shame they've missed out on so much because he feuded with his brother Noel as he hailed their practice sessions as 'spiritual'.
Oasis split following a backstage disagreement between the Gallagher brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009.
Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events over the past decade and rehearsals are now well and truly underway.
A new book titled Live Forever by John Robb has detailed just how bitter the bands split was at the time.
However, fans and friends are hoping that nothing happens on tour, like the row they had backstage in 2009, which took them more than a decade to move on from.
One witness said: 'Liam was goading Noel constantly and then the two snapped.'
Another witness remembered: 'There were proper punches and Liam smashed up one of Noel's guitars. Liam was like a man possessed.
They continued: 'He was swearing constantly and really angry. Medical staff were called along with security. Noel got out as quickly as he could. This was a truly vicious fight - quite horrible.'
In his statement confirming he had quit the band at the time, Noel wrote: 'The level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable.'
