Noel Gallagher moves into £1k-a-night five-star hotel after his heating breaks down

Noel Gallagher has been forced to decamp to a five star hotel after the heating in his own rather luxurious home packed up.

The 54-year-old Brit-pop icon is said to be staying in top London hotel Claridge’s – and is said to be stumping up £1,000 per night for the pleasure.

The Don't Look Back In Anger singer has brought his wife Sara MacDonald, 50, and their kids Donovan, 14, and Sonny, 11, along with him.

The Gallaghers have opted to stay in luxury after their central heating stopped working at their family home – and are now enjoying all the luxuries of the five star life.

Noel told The Sun on Sunday: “We’ve had no heating for a week. The house is freezing cold. It will take a week to heat it back up.

“I was like, ‘F*** that, I can’t be a***d staying here, it’s depressing’.

“So, we’re in Claridge’s, and why not? If you f*****g could, you would.

“I had the day off, I was mooching around Soho and trying to avoid having my picture taken, so I decided I’d have a massive f*****g afternoon tea with sandwiches and scones and it was great.”

The rocker went on to explain that he also bumped into Hollywood actor Sean Penn in the hotel and the two spent an afternoon together enjoying “a chinwag”.

While Noel only had nice things to say about 61-year-old Sean, the same can’t be said for the star in relation to his own brother.

Last week, Noel was a guest on the Matt Morgan Podcast when he took a swipe at 49-year-old younger brother Liam Gallagher about his weight.

Noel said: “Usually when he is wearing a big coat it’s because he’s got a big thing to hide underneath – a bit of a belly.”

And it wasn’t just Liam’s waistline that Noel threw a verbal punch at, he also disrespected his singing ability by suggesting his range is not up to scratch.

Noel huffed: “When I was writing in Oasis, in the early days, I’d always listen to Liam’s voice.

“I’d write the melody in the style he sang until it became such a restrictive, narrow way of writing, where it’s like, ‘I can’t do this any more’.

“That’s when the songs started to change, because once you’ve done it, you’ve done it.”

The savage digs are unlikely to help the brothers grow close again – with the pair being frosty to each other since Oasis split in 2009.

Fans have been clamouring for the boys to bury the hatchet and reform their iconic band – but rumours of a reunion have always come to nothing.

Indeed, Noel rubbished rumours that he and his brother had been offered £100 million to get back together.

He tweeted at the time: So..just while I’m in between having my nails done and taking my regular elocution lessons I’d like to point out AGAIN that I’m not aware of any offer for any amount of money to reform the legendary rock’n’folk outfit Oasis.”
