The Simply Red singer said that Noel and Liam had boosted their careers by playing up to a stereotype of people from Manchester.
"I love that Harry Enfield sketch when Kathy Burke comes back from a weekend in Manchester walking with a Liam gait and goes, 'F***ing sound. Banging'.
"[The Gallaghers] have made a cliché out of presenting Northerners, especially Mancunians, like that."
Hucknall has fallen out with the Oasis duo in the past and was famously involved in a brawl with Liam at London's Metropolitan Hotel in 1998.
