A classic television moment featuring Noel Gallagher interrupting an interview with Ant and Dec to take a call from his mother has resurfaced online, delighting fans as Oasis prepare for their reunion tour. The clip, originally posted by Instagram user @phil.mount, was dubbed a 'golden TV moment' and was later shared by Ant and Dec on their own Instagram Stories.
In the footage, Gallagher answers his phone mid-interview, saying: 'Alright mum. I'm on the telly. With Ant and Dec. I'll be on on Saturday morning.' He then hands the phone to Dec, adding: 'It's my mum. Do you want to say hello to her?' Dec greets Peggy, Noel's mother, and assures her: 'You'd better get the video ready for this - it's going to be a good one.' He then jokes about Ant's appearance, saying: 'He's here next to us. He's looking as ugly as ever.' Gallagher takes back the phone, says goodbye, and resumes the interview.
The resurfaced clip comes as Oasis have announced a long-awaited reunion tour, ending a 15-year feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. The band will play 12 UK dates and two shows in Dublin next year. In a joint statement, the brothers said: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over.'
Fans have reacted with excitement, with many sharing the resurfaced interview. One commented: 'Oooh, one of the best videos popping up now.' Another said: 'Got to love those times.' The tour is expected to earn the Gallaghers tens of millions of pounds, but the band have warned that the gigs 'will not be televised.'
Tickets for the UK dates go on sale at 9am on Saturday, 31 August, available from Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours, and See Tickets.
