Gallagher is quoted as saying: "I'd like to be part of a team of scriptwriters. I think I'd be good. Russell has been trying to rope me into something, but at the moment I can't commit to anything outside Oasis. But one day. Who knows?"

He also revealed that he's pals with Brand because of their "contrary characteristics".

"Russell's a big posh Essex boy former-junkie who's been to the dark side and found Hare Krishna. He's never seen a council estate," Gallagher joked.

"I'm a gruff northerner who drinks Red Stripe. He finds that fascinating."
