Russell Brand And Noel Gallagher To Host Football Radio Show

Comedian Russell Brand and Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher are to host a radio show together on football.

Brand, who resigned from the BBC last year over a series of prank calls, revealed details about the TalkSPORT programme on the micro-blogging website Twitter.

“It's true, myself and Britain's favourite swearer are doing a radio special on football,” Brand wrote.

Gallagher was a regular guest on Brand's former weekly show on BBC Radio 2.

The comedian also made reference to his recent resignation from the BBC, joking that broadcaster Jonathan Ross would be their first guest.

Ross was suspended for three months by the corporation for his involvement in the lewd messages Brand left on actor Andrew Sachs' answer phone last September.

“Me and Gallagher will turn talksport into the fulcrum of the revolution,” Brand told his followers. “If we can just get Wossy to come on as a guest a new dawn will rise.”

At present, it's not clear when the radio special will air.
