by this picture, it is not hard to see why
Liam Gallagher fell for her



It is hard enough when your ex-girlfriend ends up with your best friend. But when your ex ends up on the arm of your arch-enemy. Well, it’s not difficult to imagine how Robbie Williams must be feeling. Last week the enfant terrible of pop found out that his ex-fiancee Nicole Appleton, who he split up with in January 1999 but to whom he is still close, is enjoying a romance with Liam Gallagher, the lead singer of Oasis.

Nicole, of the band All Saints, commented on her latest love affair last week, saying: “I am really into this relationship. He’s knocked me out and I’m very keen. It’s early days but I haven’t felt like this for a long time.” She has known Liam for some time and their close friendship apparently once prompted Liam’s soon-to-be ex-wife Patsy Kensit, to demand Liam keep his distance from Nicole.

Robbie and Liam first met in the summer of 1995, when Robbie, then still a member of Take That, popped up at Glastonbury for a weekend of fun and frolics in the Gallagher brothers’ company. They did not stay buddies for long, however, with the Oasis camp throwing down the gauntlet in what has turned into a longrunning verbal duel. Liam reignited the feud at the beginning of this year, boasting that he could deck Robbie with a single punch.

When asked by a magazine how she looked back on her romance with Robbie, Nicole said: “We were the hottest couple in England! I thought it was great.”

But since splitting with the Take That member turned successful solo artist, she has dated Hornblower star Ioan Gruffudd and Gavin Rossdale, the singer of Bush. None of those liaisons, though, will have wounded Robbie in the same way as her current one.
