Noel Gallagher Turns Down Strictly Come Dancing













Noel Gallagher has had a few surreal moments in his rock ’n’ roll career.

There was champagne with Tony Blair at Downing Street, the madness of Knebworth in ’96 and a few weeks back he watched his beloved Manchester City rip the Premier League crown from bitter rivals United in injury time on the last day of the football season.

And now the ever-ambitious BBC have given him another — a name-your-price offer for the former Oasis star to appear in sequins on Strictly Come Dancing.

It sounds like total lunacy, but it’s the first thing I’d be happy for my licence fee to be spent on since Meerkat Manor.

Last night High Flying Birds frontman Noel said: “I’m flattered. I’d have done it an’ all as I’ve recently mastered the sticky task of c***** while dancing.

“Sadly though, I’m a bit busy. Maybe next time... ”

Well, it’s not a complete knock-back.

A source at the Beeb added: “Strictly always set their targets extremely high.

“The show gets huge viewing figures and the bookers behind the show are very much of the opinion ‘if you don’t ask, you don’t get’. They knew from the off it was ambitious but they thought it might be something that tickled him.”

Just for one magical moment, imagine Sir Brucie of Forsyth uttering the words: “Nice to see Noel, to see Noel... ”

Then a bit of Bez-esque Wonderwaltz action and Len Goodman offering a critique. Surely followed by a swift, “F*** you” and an Ofcom complaint.

His pal Russell Brand would be proud.

Here’s a suggestion for the Beeb — arrange for a sequined Stone Island jacket and Adidas trainers to be sent to his gaff with a cheque for £1million and you might just be on the right road.
