Robbie Williams has said that he still holds a grudge against Liam Gallagher and would “love” to fight him.

The singer told GQ that he has a “long f***ing list of enemies” and, when asked if the former Oasis star was on it, replied: “Yeah, Liam’s on the list.”

Williams said: “When you go to a certain place for recovering alcoholics you have to write down a list of resentments – mine was like f***ing War And Peace.”

He revealed that he would like to set up a professional fight, much in the same way that YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul did in September 2018.

“Oh, yes please,” Williams said. “I’d love it. But I’d want it to be a professional fight. I’ve seen how much KSI and Logan Paul made from theirs and I think we could trounce that. But, yeah, I think last time in the noughties Liam wanted to go down to an abandoned railway track or something. I don’t want to do that. It’s got to be f***ing whistles and bells if it happens.

“Yeah, Liam and I would be a wonderful thing.”

At the Brit Awards in 2000, the former Take That singer – picking up the trophy for Best Video – asked the crowd: “Would anybody like to see me fight Liam? Liam: £100,000 of your money, £100,000 of mine… we’ll get in the ring and have a fight. Now are you gonna do it or p***y out you f***ing wimp?”

The late Royle Family star Caroline Aherne, who was presenting the award, quipped: “I vote Liam.”

Williams’s new album, The Christmas Present, is out on 22 November
