Russell Brand has angered the Gallagher brothers by threatening to upstage them at the Brit Awards.
The eccentric comedian - who is hosting the awards on Wednesday - revealed that Noel phoned up his Radio 2 show and warned him to behave on the night. Oasis will receive an Outstanding Contribution gong and the boys are worried that Brand could spoil the occasion.
Brand explained: "Noel rang my show and said, 'Don't you dare try to upstage us - the evening is about Oasis, not you. Don't ruin this perfect night.' So I said, 'Noel, you're just a footnote. It's all about me'."
A show insider told the News of the World: "We all know how unpredictable Russell can be and it will only take one sarcastic comment to push Oasis over the edge."
