Noel Gallagher has allegedly called his brother Liam a "f**king moron" in another bout of bad blood between the Oasis brothers.

Noel is believed to have made the insulting comment straight after the argument he had with Liam before the Manchester group's cancelled headline appearance at a Paris festival. Just hours after the event Noel Gallagher sensationally quit the band.

"They say never work with children and animals. No-one mentioned f**king morons though, did they?" Noel allegedly said to a friend.

He then proceeded to pour scorn on Liam's new Pretty Green clothing line, saying: "I think all the modelling malarkey has gone to his head. It's a pleasure to give him time and space to work on his autumn/winter collection."

It has also been reported that the argument started when the front man travelled alone to the show in Paris on the Eurostar and arrived drunk. Noel is thought to have confronted his brother about being unprofessional and also declared his disappointment with Oasis's management and security for not confronting the singer before him.

Liam supposedly "exploded in rage" at Noel's criticisms and started insulting his children, it is alleged he questioned whether Noel is the biological father of his daughter Anais.

He then reportedly hurled a guitar at Noel - which he promptly stamped on before walking out leaving the band no option but to cancel their Rock En Seine performance.
