Good Morning Britain stand-in Richard Madeley has claimed Liam and Noel Gallagher once burgled his house.

Madeley, 61, shocked his co-stars Kate Garraway and Sean Fletcher after a clip of Liam at last night’s NME Awards was played on Thursday morning’s show.

The TV presenter said: “Him and his brother used to live quite close to us when we used to live in Manchester and they admitted in the early stages of their career they did a little bit of robbing, a little bit of burglary and we think they did our house.

“I spoke to them about it, and we spoke about it, it was many years ago and they’ve probably forgotten about it now and they said ‘yeah I think we did that one yeah, I think we did that one, went in through the window yeah’.”

Garraway said: “Oh my goodness, oh crikey.”

Madeley appeared to be referring to an interview Noel did with the now defunct Melody Maker in 1996 in which he said: “We are lads. We have burgled houses and nicked car stereos, and we like girls and swear and take the p***.”

Madeley previously made the claim in 2011, accusing the famous brothers of breaking into the house he shared with wife Judy Finnegan near Manchester in the early 1990s.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Madeley said: “We had put it to them [Oasis] that they were the ones who came through our house at 4am.”

Finnegan added: “We’ve asked Liam if it was him and he’s not sure. Unfortunately he can’t remember as he was out of it.”

Standard Online has contacted representatives for the brothers for comment.

Liam was last night honoured with the coveted Godlike Genius award – six years after Noel received the title.

The brothers have famously been feuding for years with Liam branding Noel worse than President Donald Trump on last night’s red carpet.

Speaking to reporters he said: “I’m being serious. You’re laughing, but he’s worse than Kim-Jun f****** Chung or whatever he’s called.

“And he’s worse than Donald Trump. He’s the biggest liar and biggest faker in the business, so yeah, him.

“He’s worse than Piers Morgan as well.”
