There is something very fishy about Harry Styles and Liam Gallagher’s friendship – quite literally.
The former One Direction star was so bowled over when he met Liam earlier this year that he personally hand-delivered £3k worth of the rocker’s favourite fish.
The pair ended up hanging out while working in the same studio in London and Liam even gave Harry, 25, a taster of his new album Why Me? Why Not.
But rather than critiquing the music, they ended up talking about a different kind of bass... seabass.
Liam, 47 today, says: “I was in the studio with Harry, I f***ing love that geezer.
"I was telling him about when I was in Marks & Spencer and I was getting seabass for a week.
"This little old lady was in there and she was looking at all the seabass. She was about 90.”
But when the lady started filling her basket with nearly all the shop’s supply, Liam joked that he had to take action before she cleared the shelves: “I’m a seabass assassin so I stole it.
"She was taking all the fish. I couldn’t have that.”
At the time, Liam had thought Harry hadn’t been interested in the story commenting “Harry was like ‘oh right’, he was just looking at his painted fingernails.”
But then a scaley surprise turned up at his house.
“Anyway two days later a big bag of seabass comes to my studio, the door goes, ding dong, and it’s three grands worth of seabass.
"It’s from Panzer’s Deli in St John’s Wood. It’s top fish.
“He’s gone and got it and hand-delivered it. We weren’t in the studio when he did it, so we got it sent over to the house.”
He adds: “I love that man but it was too much for our fridge, so I gave it to my brother Paul.”
Harry had clearly been well-schooled in how to treat a rock star…
