Liam Gallagher’s Pretty Green owes money to firms called Oasis and All Saints after fashion label goes bust

WHEN Liam Gallagher's fashion label Pretty Green went bust with debts of £17.5million, the firm's considerable list of creditors included some eye-catching names: Oasis and All Saints.

And while the stage might seem set for yet another explosive feud, Liam’s brother Noel and his ex-wife Nicole Appleton can rest easy for once.

That is because Pretty Green owed £500 to Oasis Air Conditioning, of Shirley, West Mids. And the £82,000 owed to All Saints was due to the high-street clothing brand, not Nicole’s Nineties girl group.

Pretty Green was sold this year after it went into administration. Papers filed at Companies House reveal the firm’s creditors also included two window cleaners, owed £870 and £250.

Last night the air-con firm Oasis said it had clawed back its cash from Pretty Green.

A spokesman said: “I would need to double-check, but I’m sure we got our money. We were one of the lucky ones.”

It is not clear how All Saints fared. But as far as Liam is concerned, a dispute with the retailer is probably better than having his ex Nicole on the warpath.

The mouthy rocker dreamed up his clothing brand — which predictably specialised in Liam-style parkas and button-up shirts — in 2009.

Blurb for the range said it would feature clobber designed by the singer himself, with a team of industry pros on board to help out.

At the time, Liam made the stunning revelation: “The reason I’m doing it is I like clothes.”

The firm fell into administration earlier this year and, though it was subsequently bought by JD Sports, 11 stores and 33 concessions were shut down.

Only the flagship Manchester branch was kept open. The Companies House documents also show that £100,000 was owed to HM Revenue & Customs.

was owed £100,000 and a hefty £527,000 was due to a freight company based at Heathrow Airport.

Liam didn’t seem too upset about the sale, tweeting on March 22: “As long as we’ve got our health eh gotta put things into perspective as you were PG I mean LG x”.

I doubt those left out of pocket — and workers who lost their jobs — were quite so chilled.

And, it seems, the 6ft 7in former Stoke City striker won’t have to, er, crouch to get into the shower.

The plans, which were passed this week by Mole Valley District Council, include a shower room extension with “full height” brickwork walls – presumably to accommodate Peter’s lanky frame.

The pair’s six-bedroom neo-Georgian pile was built just three years ago and already boasts a grand entrance hall, library, study, cinema, games room and breakfast area.

But after welcoming their fourth child, son Jack in June, the couple now want to make their home even bigger with two new extensions.

As well as the shower room extension, the glamorous couple have been given permission to build a huge 10.9m orangery.

Peter and Abbey share the property with daughters Sophia, eight, Liberty, four, and sons Johnny, one, and four-month-old Jack.

Planners ruled the plans for the orangery and shower room extensions “on-side”, after there were no objections from neighbours.

Other famous faces who live nearby include tennis champ Andy Murray and fellow ex-footballer Ashley Cole.

No doubt Peter and Abbey will soon be able to invite them round for afternoon tea in the orangery.

Martin's Instagramps

X FACTOR: The Celebrity star Martin Bashir has been signed up to Instagram by unlikely pals Max & Harvey.

The journalist says the teen pop duo, his fellow contestants on the ITV show, were shocked to learn he had no account.

He said: “They gave me an hour-long lesson, teaching an old dog new tricks, and I’m now competent at posting embarrassing videos of myself dancing and getting ready for the show. If you don’t like my videos, blame them.”

He added: “I have learned ageing doesn’t increase confidence, it makes us fearful of trying new things. We fail to test ourselves.”

Martin, left, who has so far got 248 followers, remains sceptical of his chances on the show – but I reckon he could prove one of its more entertaining acts.

The model, in blue mini-dress and hat for a party at the M Restaurant in London’s Victoria, was one of a host of celebs dressed up for spooky season.

Wes Nelson, with fellow Love Islander Arabella Chi at the same bash as Lottie, went full-on scary with snarling mask, bloodied vest and a baseball bat laced in barbed wire.

Liam Payne, performing at Wembley Arena, worked the big-screen glamour as Superman actor Clark Kent.

Banjo will miss Jason jibes

JASON GARDINER’s sudden departure from Dancing On Ice has upset fellow judge Ashley Banjo.

The acid-tongued Aussie quit in August after bosses secretly tried to replace him. Ashley told me: “I was really sad when I found out about Jason leaving.

“It was a shock and it’s definitely going to be something to get used to. Sometimes people think Jason hams it up and puts things on when he’s on the panel, but Jason goes with his heart.

“He’s all in. So he has his reasons – there’s things he wants to do.”

Ashley will also be hosting the second series of Flirty Dancing, which begins on November 8 on Channel 4.

Singletons are paired together on the dancefloor in a bid to find rhythm and love.

And he told how the series – like Dancing on Ice next year – will feature same sex couples.

A pal said: “Mark has grown a bit tired of LA and felt it was time to have a change of scene.

He has seen a few places he likes, including an £8million one in New York’s West Village near his good pal Justin Theroux."

Mark has said that his new album Late Night Feelings was inspired by his recent divorce to the French actress and model.

Mark admits: “I’ve never thought that [work] was a replacement for having a family, but I definitely think it fills some of that void ­– more than if I was going to an office.”

It really looks like hell, Kesha

KESHA might be Raising Hell in her latest video, but it looks like she needed to take a break halfway through for a quick soak in the tub.

In the catchy track, which is out now and features Big Freedia, the pop star plays a televangelist who ends up murdering her abusive husband and going on the run.

I’d probably need a chill out after that as well.

Insta a Sno go

LISA SNOWDON – one of the few celebs who post real snaps online – admits she has a “love/hate” relationship with Instagram.

The radio host said: “I love that interaction but there is something dangerous.

A friend mentions somebody else and, before you know it, you’re spiralling into comparisons.

It’s fabulous for certain things but, sometimes, you have to step away. ”

Lisa, the face of Seven Seas’ new Perfect7 campaign, added: “I try to post real pictures – when I’m not looking my best, where I’ve just worked out and look sweaty.

";Then if I post a really healthy fitness picture, the people that follow me know I’ve worked hard.”

Fred's a Gord bloke

TELLY’S First Dates maître d’ Fred Sirieix has opened up about his pal Gordan Ramsay — insisting the sweary chef has a heart of gold.

If you’d asked me what Gordon’s favourite four-letter word was, I’d have said it begins with F – and isn’t fish.

But Frenchman Fred, who interviewed celebrity chef Gordon for his new podcast Oh La La, says the pair had a heartfelt discussion about . . . love.

He told me: “I asked Gordon if he believes in true love – and I’m not going to tell you his answer now but I really, really liked his answer.”

Fred added: “Gordon is very humble, he always has a kind word for people and I like that kindness and humility that you don’t see on TV.

“People know Gordon Ramsay, they don’t know Gordon, and it is a privilege to know him. He is someone you can trust to have your back.”
