Noel Gallagher hits out at X Factor

Noel Gallagher has hit out at The X Factor for having “absolutely nothing to do with music”.

The Oasis star accused Dannii Minogue, last year’s winning judge, of being unable to recognise talent.

Gallagher, 41, told the Radio Times: “If somebody is dangling this carrot of ‘fame and fortune’ in front of a check-out girl from Barnsley who can sing like Britney Spears then they’re going to go for it.”
