Oasis singer Liam Gallagher has struck up an unlikely friendship with pop band McFly � even advising them on how to become �more accepted�.

The former hell-raising star met the four McFly lads at a TV show recently, and the boys were shocked when Liam immediately voiced his appreciation of their work.

Frontman Danny Jones tells the Daily Mirror, �I was really star-struck when I met Liam. He's my idol but I did my best not to show it. He kept saying: 'I buzz off you guys man,' and said that he'd love to appeal to kids too.�

"We spoke about the bands and how I wanted us to be more accepted. We want to get invited to things like the NME Awards. He gave us really sound advice and stuff.�
