Noel Gallagher has accused his brother and former Oasis bandmate Liam of sending “threatening messages” to his 19-year-old daughter Anais.

On Wednesday afternoon, Noel shared a screengrab of what looked to be a message sent from Liam to his niece.

In the message, Liam seemingly warns Anais that her stepmother should “be very careful”, alongside a screengrab of a comment from Noel’s wife Sara McDonald in which she compares his recent Glastonbury set to a “fat twat doing a tribute act”.

Noel wrote: “So you’re sending threatening messages via my teenage daughter, are you now? You were always good at intimidating women though, eh?

“What you planning on doing anyway? Grabbing my wife by the throat to show her who’s boss? Or maybe trying to waddle through our double gates and performing Shitwave [a reference to Liam’s song Shockwave] in the communal garden or daubing your wank lyrics on the toilet walls?”

He added: “If I wake up and find one of the kids’ gerbils upside down on the cheese board with a knife in it, I’ll be sure to inform the local care in the community officer.

“And don’t try and kidnap the cat either, we’ve just employed Ross Kemp as his close protection officer. Enjoy the summer, Big Tits. Catch up soon.” 

Hours later, Liam responded on his Twitter page, writing: “My sincere apologies to my beautiful mum Peggy and my lovely  niece Anais for getting caught up in all of this childish behaviour I love you both dearly.”

Liam has previously stated that Noel’s wife Sara is the reason Oasis are yet to reform, telling NME: “He’s not allowed to, his missus won’t let him now, ’cos she’s another one.

“I know for a fact, deep down, he wants to be playing stadiums… You can only play stadiums when I’m there.”
