Brand, Gallagher to host TalkSport show

Noel Gallagher and Russell Brand have signed up to host a football-based show on TalkSport.

Brand, who used to have the Oasis guitarist as a regular guest on his Radio 2 show, announced the news on his Twitter page.

The comic also hinted that Jonathan Ross may be a guest on the broadcast.

"It's true, myself and Britain's favourite swearer are doing a radio special on football," wrote Brand. "Let's hope Noel doesn't get me in trouble/twouble.

"Me and Gallagher will turn TalkSport into the fulcrum of the revolution. If we can just get Wossy to come on as a guest, a new dawn will rise."

Brand resigned from his job on Radio 2 following his involvement with Jonathan Ross in the Andrew Sachs prank phone call scandal last year.

Gallagher said at the time that he was "outraged" by Brand's resignation, accusing the "joyless f***ers who write the columns in the Daily Mail, The Telegraph or The Observer" of "telling people how to behave".
