Indeed, back in the ’90s and2000s (those times seem half the world away now), some stars loved tearing chunks out of each other. And nothing proves this more than Sara Cox and Sarah Cawood’s old W***** of the Week segment on their Channel 4 series The Girlie Show. It was basically the TV equivalent of PopBitch! and, as such, reported on misbehaving celebs. Unfortunately for Sara, one week she decided to target Patsy Kensit, who was then dating Oasis frontman and parka aficionado Liam Gallagher. And some might say that Liam didn’t take people being mean about his girlfriend well, as Sara, 51, recently admitted to The Sun. I guess you could say Sara realled Cox-ed up at work! (Picture: BBC/Sarah Louise Bennett) “W**ker of the Week was so mean,’ she said. ‘It was like anyone was fair game if you’re in the public eye. ‘I used to present them in the production meeting quite proudly — ‘Here’s this week’s w**ker’. And the producers would be, like, ‘Great!’ ‘I was absolutely buzzing that they liked my writing. It would be a minute-and-a-half takedown of someone in the public eye, be it Chris Evans or Liam Gallagher. And then I did Patsy Kensit.’ Liam and Patsy back in the halycon days of the 1990s (Picture: Shutterstock) Soon after, Sara ran into the Manc musician while they were both on Top of the Pops, and their encounter definitely (maybe) wasn’t a pleasant one. For reasons she can’t quite explain, she went over to say hi, well aware that she’d just insulted his partner. ‘I don’t know why I went over — I’d called his wife a w***** on the telly the “I was, like, ‘Oh, I’ll go and say hello. I really like his music”.’ Sara and Sarah used to be ‘mean’ on the Girlie Show Picture:: Rex Liam was, in her words, ‘quite rightly miffed with her.’ ‘He was, like, “Yeah, you can f* off, you slag!” I don’t know what else I was expecting.” If you’re wonder-wall-ing if Sara could roll with it and listen to Oasis after that, the answer is no. There’s no ill will now apparently (Picture: AP) She said: ‘They were huge, but I was, like, ‘Well, that’s ruined Definitely, Maybe for the foreseeable.’ If you’re worried about Liam and Sara’s feud though, you can stop crying your heart out. It seems like Liam doesn’t look back in anger, and Sara says she’s met him since and she ‘doesn’t think there’s any ill feeling there now.’ I guess celebrity beef doesn’t live forever… Deals of the Day Wuka launches the UK’s first period-proof swimwear for heavy flows Bridgerton fans are rushing to buy these new Netflix-inspired perfumes now £12 off The affordable summer wardrobe update you'll wear from rooftop drinks to beach holidays The £7.99 lip balm beauty fans love for glossy, hydrated lips just dropped four new shades This Keskine hydrogel mask could fix your summer skin Arrow MORE: Serena’s big secret ‘revealed’ ahead of major Emmerdale return Arrow MORE: England fans claim team ‘deserved to go out’ after car crash celebrity Wonderwall Arrow MORE: New Oasis 2027 gig dates ‘leaked’ with tickets rumoured to go on sale within weeks
