Noel Gallagher might fancy himself as a High Flying Bird, but it doesn't mean he's above taking a cheap shot at his ex-wife following their messy divorce.
The Oasis frontman, 56, announced he had split from Sara MacDonald in January last year, but this is the first time that he has addressed it publicly.
He got hitched to the publicist in 2011, eleven years after they initially met when he was still married to music executive Meg Matthews who he shares daughter Anaïs with.

Noel and Sara went on to have two children together, Donovan and Sonny MacDonald Gallagher, who were born in 2007 and 2010 respectively.
Their 22-year relationship reportedly hit a rough patch during lockdown, which ended up resulting in a costly divorce.
It has been claimed that Noel - who is estimated to boast a net worth of around £57 million - coughed up a whopping £20 million to his ex-wife.
Sara also got her hands on their £8 million mansion in Hampshire, while the singer moved into a flat in the swanky area of West London, Maida Vale, after a lengthy spell in a £2,500-a-night suite at the lavish hotel Claridge’s.
But it seems Noel hasn't reached that stage in the break-up where you 'Don't Look Back In Anger' just yet.

He has finally addressed the elephant in the room 12 months after his divorce with Sara was announced, explaining that he has a petty way of still pushing his ex's buttons.
The Mancunian musician revealed he cycles up to her home in the capital just to wind her up by 'giving her a wave'.
During an appearance on Matt Morgan’s podcast, the 'Live Forever' crooner laughed: "I can get on the bike and go up to King’s Cross, and go down to the canal at Longfield Road.
"And get on the canal outside my wonderful ex-wife’s house and give her a little wave, and go, 'You didn’t take this from me!'"

Noel clearly hasn't got over losing a significant portion of his wealth to the mother of his sons, but he was did say he was enjoying life as a bachelor in London - which, in his words is 'f**king great'.
He explained the split had forced him to move into Claridge's for 'most of last year' and said he spent 'three or four nights a week' there in the wake of the breakdown of his marriage.
He continued: "I had some proper f**king good times there – it was a proper good time."
The High Flying Birds rocker also opened up about the chances of an Oasis reunion amid his longstanding fiery feud with estranged brother Liam.

He said: "Timing is everything. Even if we were to come back now, it would be just like a heritage kind of thing. It could never be the same'
"If Oasis appeared tomorrow with Supersonic and we were talking about f**king Rottweilers snorting cocaine in the studio and how we didn't give a f**k about drugs in the studio, the record companies would sh**t themselves.
"It would be like the Sex Pistols. We wouldn't be this massive thing with Radio 1 playing it constantly. You'd be underground."
