British pop star Lily Allen claims she got lucky with Liam Gallagher while they were on their way to Tokyo
It goes without saying that a lot of people have thought about joining the mile high club, regardless of the airline or how long the flight is.
Maybe there’s something in the air when you’re thousands of feet above the ground, travelling at hundreds of miles an hour that gets people in the mood, I’m not too sure.
There are a ton of mood killers onboard most commercial flights, be it screaming kids or the stench after some people use the toilet.
But none of these problems apply if you’re Lily Allen, who apparently found enough peace of mind and time on a flight to get frisky with a fellow A-list celebrity.
The British singer-songwriter once claimed she enjoyed a ‘seven hour’ fling with none other than Liam Gallagher after seeing him in the airport lounge by chance, prior to their flight.
It sounds like the plot to a classic romance film, but the story isn’t really long enough to feature on the big screen.
Allen had spoken up about the details of her induction into the mile high club in her 2018 memoir titled My Thoughts Exactly, where she dished the dirt on her alleged liaison above the clouds the Oasis lead vocalist – who recently revealed the bombshell news of the band’s reunion.
She explained that she was heading to Japan for the Fuji Rock Festival in 2009 when she ran into Gallagher, 51, in the airport lounge, where they got chatting.
The pair then got ‘hammered’ on the plane after boarding, before things all got a bit frisky after the seatbelt signs went off.

Writing in her autobiography, Allen explained: “At some point Liam and I found ourselves together in the toilet doing something that he shouldn’t have been doing, and it wasn’t drugs. Then we were in a lie-down bed together.”
He works quick, doesn’t he?
According to her, their drunken tryst didn’t end there, as the Manchester rocker asked her to join him at his hotel when they eventually touched down in Tokyo.
Discussing how she ended up joining the mile high club during an appearance on The Big Narstie Show in 2019, the ‘Smile’ singer said it was simply a ‘seven hour’ fling rather than a full-blown romance.
She gingerly told hosts Big Narstie and Mo Gilligan: “You know, we met in the lounge before we got on the plane and you know, got quite drunk and then… yeah.”
When quizzed about who made the first move, the 39-year-old then hilariously responded: “It was the Champagne Supernova in the sky!”
Although Allen was able to look back and laugh at her encounter with Gallagher, she wasn’t amused when she found out the next day that he was married to ‘All Saints’ hitmaker Nicole Appleton.

She explained in My Thoughts Exactly: “It wasn’t until when he said something like, ‘No one can hear about this because of Nic,’ that I clocked he was married. I knew Noel was married and I knew Liam had been married to Patsy Kensit.
“That was partly why I fancied him. I’d grown up an Oasis fan. I was 12 when he and Patsy Kensit were on the cover of Vanity Fair as the coolest couple.”
Although she claims Gallagher begged her to keep their plane-ride of passion a secret, Allen says the truth ended up coming out around six months later.
Appleton remained married to the Supersonic singer until 2013, after it was revealed that he had fathered a daughter with US journalist Liza Ghorbani.
Allen, on the other hand, was in a relationship with Sam Cooper from July 2009 and welcomed their two daughters into the world after tying the knot in 2011. She announced they had divorced in 2018, two years after they had officially parted ways.
Liam Gallagher’s representatives declined to comment when approached by LADbible.
