Liam Gallagher revealed he rode on Frankie Dettori’s back around a swimming pool after he ran into the jockey while on holiday.
Speaking on a video on his Instagram stories, Gallagher explains that he was on holiday with The Prodigy’s Liam Howlett, who at the time was his brother-in-law, as well as a friend called Adam.
Gallagher claims he was sitting down for drinks with his friends when jockey Dettori approached in his Speedos.
He added: “Anyway, the tequilas are flying and all that tackle and it goes a bit f***ing silly.”
The rocker went on to describe a scene where Gallagher and Dettori ended up in the swimming pool, with Gallagher riding around on the jockey’s back like a horse after Dettori bragged about his strong legs.
Gallagher adds: “I was proper slapping him on the arse.”
