Jade shares hidden tribute to Oasis at Glastonbury despite Noel Gallagher feud
Pop icon Jade Thirlwall has shown she isn't one to hold a grudge by revealing she took inspiration from the Gallagher brothers for her Glastonbury looks. The former Little Mix singer, 32, clashed with Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher when the 58-year-old took aim at her band's achievements.
But Jade, who had an iconic response to Noel's shady comments, isn't too stubborn to not appreciate the rocker's iconic style. In a new post, the X Factor winner - who rocked a green parka inspired co-ord on the Woodsie stage on Saturday - reveals Noel and his brother's infamous Brit pop style made her mood board when looking for inspiration for her Glastonbury look.
At the start of this year, Jade reflected on the Wonderwall singer's brutal jibes about her band Little Mix from four years ago and disclosed how her boyfriend, Rizzle Kicks' Jordan Stephens, chose to confront Noel in person over the comments, only to be met with a foul-mouthed tirade.
After Little Mix made history at The Brit Awards in May 2021, Noel felt obliged to voice his opinions on the Black Magic singers being the first all-female group to win the British Group award. The veteran rocker suggested that the award-winning girl band were "not in the same league as Oasis" and hinted their record-breaking victory indicated a problem within the music industry.
During an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks the same year, Jade responded to the unsolicited criticism from the seasoned rocker with a hilarious retort. Speaking to Louis Theroux on his eponymous podcast, she delved deeper into her band's feud with the father-of-three.
"Well, we're very different bands, so I'll give him that respect," the Angel of My Dreams singer conceded to the documentary maker. "We're very, you know, we're a pop girl band. Yeah. I don't know why he was comparing us, actually."
Louis then speculated if Noel made the comment "for the clicks. " Jade playfully replied: "I think so," referring to Noel's love for confrontation. "I think he loves a little confrontation, doesn't he, that one.
She then quipped: "You can't really argue with that, do you know what I mean? And I also kind of, um, love that I've ended up in some sort of tiff with one of the Gallaghers. I feel like, it's the same as getting a hate tweet from Azalea Banks."
Jade then shared a story during Louis' Spotify podcast about an encounter her beau, Jordan, had with Noel at Glastonbury. Jade and the Rizzle Kicks frontman started their romance amid the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020.
Her recount of that event was: "I seen him [Noel] at Glastonbury that year, actually," and detailed that Jordan confronted Noel saying, "I'm going to go over and say something. I was like, alright then, give it a go. They went over, I was like, you are really rude about my girlfriend. Do you want to apologize? He went, f*ck off! And I thought, do you know what? Fair play."
Talking about the time back in 2021 when Jade addressed Noel's harsh words towards herself and her Little Mix bandmates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, she had a sharp retort on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Referring to the incident, she recounted, "Noel did [slag us off]" while sitting on the panel of the comedy show's revival.
Jade added insult to injury by recalling, "Something about that we were undeserving of the Brit Award because we're women and don't - well we do write music - but he thinks we don't write music. Well, we're very different bands, so I'll give him that to that respect."
"Yeah, shame really," the award-winning singer adds. "Because you know, we are definitely the most successful girl group in the country, but he's not even the most successful performer in his family!"

BBC will no longer live stream ‘high risk' music acts after Bob Vylan incident
In a statement issued on Thursday the corporation apologised for the group's 'deplorable behaviour' after frontman, Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their set on Saturday afternoon. The BBC admitted it had assessed the act as 'high risk' before Glastonbury but deemed them suitable for live streaming. The broadcaster said this was 'clearly not the case', adding it was changing its procedures around live music events meaning any music performances deemed high risk will now not be broadcast live or streamed live. The statement said: 'We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community. We are also unequivocal that there can be no place for antisemitism at, or on, the BBC. 'It is clear that errors were made both in the lead-up to and during Bob Vylan's appearance. We think it's important to set out some of the detail around the streaming of this performance. 'Bob Vylan were deemed high risk following a risk assessment process applied to all acts appearing at Glastonbury. Seven acts including Bob Vylan were included in this category and they were all deemed suitable for live streaming with appropriate mitigations. 'Prior to Glastonbury, a decision was taken that compliance risks could be mitigated in real time on the live stream – through the use of language or content warnings – without the need for a delay. This was clearly not the case.' It added: 'Given the failings that have been acknowledged we are taking actions to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible for those failings in the live broadcast. We will not comment further on those processes at this time. 'Furthermore, as a result we will make immediate changes to live streaming music events. 'Any music performances deemed high risk will now not be broadcast live or streamed live.' The BBC has also promised to take action to 'ensure proper accountability' and issued an apology to viewers, especially the Jewish community. Avon and Somerset police have launched an investigation into the comments made during the group's West Holts Stage set. It has since emerged that the group were already under investigation by police for comments made at a concert one month before Glastonbury. Video footage appears to show Bobby Vylan at Alexandra Palace telling crowds: 'Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.' The rap group issued a statement on Tuesday claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up' after Avon and Somerset police began its investigation.

BBC to stop broadcasting 'high risk' performances live after Bob Vylan Glastonbury row
The BBC has said it will no longer show a live broadcast of "high risk" performances after the controversy over Bob Vylan's Glastonbury gig. It comes after it showed the punk-rap duo leading the crowd in chants of "death to the IDF". In a statement, BBC director general Tim Davie said he "deeply regrets that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to say sorry - to our audience and to all of you, but in particular to Jewish colleagues and the Jewish community. "We are unequivocal that there can be no place for antisemitism at the BBC. I and everyone need to ensure that the BBC is a role model for inclusivity and tolerance and we all have a part to play." In a statement, the BBC said it was "clear that errors were made both in the lead-up to and during Bob Vylan's appearance." The broadcaster said the duo were deemed "high risk" following an assessment process applied to all acts appearing at Glastonbury, but deemed suitable for live streaming with "appropriate mitigations". "Prior to Glastonbury, a decision was taken that compliance risks could be mitigated in real time on the live stream - through the use of language or content warnings - without the need for a delay. This was clearly not the case," the BBC said. "During the performance, the livestream was monitored in line with the agreed compliance protocols and a number of issues were escalated. "Warnings appeared on the stream on two occasions and the editorial team took the decision not to cut the feed. This was an error." The corporation added that it would make "immediate changes to livestreaming music events", including no longer broadcasting performances deemed high risk live. In a statement on Instagram on Tuesday, the band said they were "not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people,' rather, they were for the "dismantling of a violent military machine". In their statement, the group said they were a "distraction from the story" in Gaza and that whatever "sanctions" they received would also be a distraction.
