Liam Gallagher told Trigger Point star Vicky McClure a shocking story of how he was gassed out of a gig while appearing on Zoe Ball’s BBC Breakfast Show on Friday.
The Oasis singer, 56, revealed that he was CH gassed out of Manchester Academy following a fight with some ‘wrongens’ in 1989.
When the Line Of Duty actress, 40, was asked by show host Zoe, 53, if she had been tasered in real life after she was struck in an episode, Vicky said no.
But when Zoe then took the question to the floor of her other guests – Liam, John Squire and Alison Steadman – the Mancunian piped up.
‘I’m assuming no one else has been tasered in the studio’, Zoe asked.

‘I have not been tasered, but I have been gassed’, Liam said.
‘Have you?!’ Zoe gasped shockingly.
‘It was Cyprus Hill and House Of Pain in Manchester Academy. We were at a gig and a load of wrongens come in and had a bit of a scrap and robbed… There was something going on anyway, and we were down by the…
‘Anyway, the next minute the building got CH gassed so we were all coming out.’
‘Oh my god, that sounds terrible’, Zoe said.
‘It was mega. It was mega man,’ Liam joked.
He then joked: ‘Kids don’t know what they are born into these days man. AC in concert halls and all that nonsense.’
The rest of the panel burst out laughing, stating: ‘Only Liam would respond like that’.

CH gas contains highly flammable methane.
High levels of methane can reduce the amount of oxygen breathed from the air. This can result in mood changes, slurred speech, vision problems, memory loss, nausea, vomiting, facial flushing and headache.
In severe cases, there may be changes in breathing and heart rate, balance problems, numbness, and unconsciousness.
Vicky’s acting in her BBC hit show was so convincing that Zoe joked and asked if she was tasered in real life.
The brunette beauty said that she had never been tasered in real life, but if the show asked her to do it, she would give it a go.
This is because the acting sensation revealed that she likes to do everything as realistic as possible when she is acting.
Because she had never been struck with an electrical device before, Vicky revealed that she watched endless hours of people being tasered on YouTube.
But this is not the only instance where she has gone above and beyond to make the show as realistic as possible.
Vicky admitted that the bomb suit she wears for the most dramatic scenes of the episode is incredibly heavy and is what real bomb squads wear to an incident.
She was offered a lighter version for the show, but the actress declined and explained she would rather do it properly.
Her suit is so heavy that Vicky said she cannot move her arms when she has the full outfit on.
The star said: ‘No, I was not going to take the light version. Not when you are filming. I am filming for five minutes, we cut, change a lens it’s another half an hour, so I take the suit off, sit down and have a cup of tea.

‘I’m not the real deal. So I want to try. I hate it when you see people on tele drinking a tea and there is nothing in there. So I do use the real thing. It is very heavy. I mean, I can’t even lift my arm.’
