Noel Gallagher has claimed that Paul Weller is a closet X Factor fan.

The former Oasis star said that his daughter and Weller's daughter had talked about their fathers watching the ITV1 talent contest.

"Anyone who says they don't watch [The X Factor] is is a bulls**tter. I know for a fact that Paul Weller watches it," Gallagher told ShortList.

"We've never spoken about it, but his daughter told my daughter that he watches it with her.

"That's f**king interesting, isn't it? The 'Modfather' sitting around watching The X Factor. It's an endearing image, that."

Gallagher has previously claimed that his daughter has never forgiven him for turning down an offer from Simon Cowell to become a judge on the UK X Factor.
