The Oasis star, who performed at the Other Stage on Saturday, told radio host Jo Wiley he wasn't interested in seeing the likes of The XX or Radiohead perform – opting for a night in with Love Island instead.

He said during a chat on BBC Radio 2: “I watched Dizzee Rascal's set from my room yesterday.

"And then I watched Love Island.

“That's where it's at. That's what goes on man.

Jo sounded shocked by Liam's revelation, telling him she couldn't believe he was a fan of the show.

He added: “I've had four years of doing nothing, you know what I mean?

"I've gotta do something and I've gone to the dark side and Love Island it is."

Liam made rock history at the festival when he sang Oasis classic Don't Look Back In Anger for the first time, taking over singing duties from brother Noel in a tribute to the lives lost in the Manchester terror attack and Grenfell Tower fire.

But one day Liam hopes to enjoy the festival as a punter, admitting he would have to come in fancy-dress to avoid getting mobbed by fans.

He said: "I wish one day I could go out and get amongst it.

“I would be a nun to go unnoticed. But I still reckon I would still get caught because I’ve got the walk you know?

"They’d be like look at that nun with the dodgy walk."
