After their split, Noel claimed Wonderwall had nothing to do with his ex.

“The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it, and how do you tell your missus it’s not about her once she’s read it is?" he told the BBC.

"It’s a song about an imaginary friend who’s gonna come and save you from yourself," he explained.

Meg - who is believed to have pocketed £4million in the split - was understandably confused about the meaning behind the song.

"All of a sudden when I was getting divorced he said it wasn't about me, so I don't really understand." Meg told the Telegraph in 2005.

Mirror have contacted Meg's reps for comment.
