OASIS singer LIAM GALLAGHER has hit out at PETE DOHERTY during the band’s set at V FESTIVAL - comparing him to a 4ft inflatable penis.

The band have just finished their headline set at Hylands Park in Chelmsford - their only UK festival appearances in support of their current album ’Don’t Believe The Truth’.

During ’Bring It On Down’, Liam made a subtle reference to Doherty's well publicised drug troubles, by changing a lyric to You don’t care…because you’re smoking crack.

However, he was more obvious as soon as the song finished. After asking for the house lights to be put on the audience, Liam spotted an inflatable penis in the audience.

”It’s good to see Pete Doherty turned up,” he said, “one big cock.”

Liam’s feud with Pete began when Doherty failed to turn up to an Oasis support in Southampton.

In Chelmsford (August 20), the group played the highlights from their current album ’Don’t Belive The Truth’, as well as a handful of classics from debut album ’Definitely Maybe’.

Speaking to NME before the gig, guitarist Noel Gallagher said he had mixed feelings about the festival, but the band were up for the gig.

He said: “I’ve been a few times and only ever seen one good gig – that was The Coral a few years ago. I’m looking forward to it, it’s the only festival we’re doing in England this year. I think it could be good craic.”

Speaking about the band’s best ever festival performances, Gallagher admitted that up until now, none of their best sets had been in the UK. He continued: “You can count out all the ones in England. I don’t think we’ve ever pulled it off for some reason. Maybe this time. The thing is, when we’re playing festivals abroad, we’re usually second on the bill – we never get to headline. Whenever we’ve headlined Glastonbury by the time we get one everybody’s twatted.”
