The guitarist - whose real name is Paul Arthurs took part in a very special show, Bonehead's Christmas Day today (25th December) and although he’s said he doesn't seem that into Christmas himself, the Rock ’N’ Roll Star singer couldn't be any more different.

“Liam loves it,” he revealed. to Toby Tarrant, who was co-hosting the special Christmas Day show “He’ll have his decorations up in July, he’s one of them.”

He went on: “You look at his fireplace. He can’t wait to Instagram his fireplace, cause he’s gonna have his Beatles statue with Santa hats and glitter and he’s got a dog now, so guaranteed his dog’s gonna have flashing lights on his collar and he’s gonna be bouncing around his garden pretending he’s a reindeer.

"Liam will be that guy in the red and white suit. He loves it and he doesn’t try and hide the fact that he loves it. He actually loves it."

Asked why he doesn’t show his love for the season as much, he mused: “It’s probably a throwback from being in an Oasis. You know. It’s like ‘Do you like Blur?’

"‘Pfft Blur. Yeah I hate them. Rubbish!’ But deep down I think we all admired Blur. We liked Blur, but it’s not cool to say it. Ho. Ho. Ho.”

Asked if he's looking forward to the tot getting older and being able to celebrate Christmas more, he added: "‘I can’t wait. I cannot wait. I’m a sucker for kids toys as well. I’ll be that grandad that’s like ‘Get off, get off. Mine! I’ll show you how it’s done’.”
