The older brother of Noel and Liam Gallagher has been charged with rape and string of other violent sex offences.

Paul Gallagher, from East Finchley in north London, is facing the charges following an investigation that began last year.

As well as rape, he is also accused of sexual assault, coercive control and making threats to kill. He is due to appear in court next month.

The offences are said to date from between 2022 and 2024 and relate to one woman.

Paul, who at 59 is one year older than Noel and seven years older than Liam, grew up with the pair in Burnage, Manchester.
