Nicole: I Will Marry Liam
















All Saint Nicole Appleton reckons Liam Gallagher makes perfect husband material – and says they WILL wed soon.

In her first big interview in five years, Nic lifted the lid on her relationship with the lairy Oasis rocker and revealed his softer side.

She told how her parents ADORE Liam and said she and him are happier than they have ever been.

Speaking exclusively to Bizarre to mark the release of her reformed band’s comeback single, Nic told me: “Absolutely yes, we will get married. Of course we will.

“Things are so great between us that it will just happen when it does. We haven’t planned anything and we are really, really happy — the happiest we’ve ever been together.

“There’s no pressure from our parents to get married but when we go to friends’ weddings, I think, ‘I want to do this.’

“We’re pretty much married anyway and I call him my husband sometimes. We come as a unit — where he goes, our son Gene and I go. Having children together is a bigger commitment than getting married — but we will do it.”

Liam is perhaps not every mother’s impression of an ideal son-in-law — but Nic’s mum and dad think the world of him.

She said: “My parents love Liam, they think he’s so lovely.”

Lovely — now there’s a word not usually associated with the hard- drinking, fighting rocker.

But according to Nic, Liam goes all soft when it comes to five-year-old Gene, seen below with his parents. So much so that he doesn’t even mind that Gene likes his old enemy, GORILLAZ creator Damon Albarn.

Nic, who was once engaged to RobbieO Williams, explained: “Gene loves Oasis but he really loves the Gorillaz.

“His dad is all right about it, surprisingly. Liam bumped into Damon in the street and told him, ‘My kid is a big fan of yours.’

“I love the Gorillaz too so I think Gene has good taste.”

Gene wasn’t born when Nic was a pop star in her own right as one quarter of band All Saints, who first stormed the charts in 1997.

The group enjoyed five No1 singles — including Never Ever and Pure Shores — and paved the way for so many of today’s girl groups such as The Sugababes.

But they fell out spectacularly — even once rowing over a jacket — and went their separate ways in 2001 before reforming this year.

Nic says Gene is now aware that his mum was once in a top group.

She said: “Once a video came on TV and I told him it was mummy’s band. I told him, ‘That’s me — it’s not all about Daddy you know!’”

Nic was speaking to me as she and her bandmates, sister Natalie, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis, prepare for next week’s release of new single Rocksteady, to be followed by a whole album of new material on November 13.

Liam was spotted singing along to the new tunes when the girls did their first gig in years last week . . . and he did know all the words.

Nic says: “He has been totally supportive of me and the girls.”

Well I reckon Liam’s a very lucky fella to have Nic.

She’s funny, charming and dead normal. She’s not interested in having a flashy, showbiz lifestyle — you’re more likely to find her with Gene at Nando’s in her jeans and trainers, tucking into chicken.

As Liam would no doubt say, “She’s a top bird.”
