Gordon in the morning: Noel did want what he hadn't got

Gordon's picked up a story from this month's Uncut, in which Sinead O'Connor reveals that Noel Gallagher asked for her hand in marriage.

That does oversell it a little bit:

“Noel once asked me to marry him, just before he married MEG MATHEWS.

“He won’t remember as he was off his face at a festival in Amsterdam.”

So this was a marriage proposal with all the veracity of being told that you're somebody's best mate, then, rather than a striking incident in an unexpected romance.

Even so, it's a pity Sinead didn't call his bluff.
