Noel Gallagher's daughter has revealed she dispenses dating advice to Brooklyn Beckham.

Model Anaïs Gallagher, 17, denied she was romantically involved with Brooklyn, eldest son of fashion designer Victoria and former footballer David.

Instead she said she had a “brother and sister” relationship with the 17-year-old, a fellow sixth-former at the Fine Arts College in Belsize Park. Other friends from school include Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s son Rocco and Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriend Sonia Ben Ammar.

Anaïs, who lives in Primrose Hill with her mother, interior designer Meg Mathews, told ES Magazine: “People must be thinking, ‘They don’t all know each other’ but we do all know each other and we are actually all friends.

“Obviously we’re all teenagers, so we fall out, but I’d always support them through everything.”

On Rocco and Brooklyn, she said: “I’m not dating either of them, no. Me and Brooklyn, people like to pick up on because we’re such good friends, they like to capture photos where we’re hugging.

“No — we’re like brother and sister. We have a really good relationship. I like to help him out with girls.”

Anaïs, the face of Reebok, has modelled for Mulberry and counts Kate Moss, a long-time friend of Mathews, as her “second mum”. “She’s hilarious — one of the funniest people I know,” she said.

“She is the most loving, motherly figure. She texts me at least once a week. It’s a good relationship because she’s not my mum. She sneaks me out so we can go out together and she makes really good peanut butter on toast.”

She used to be embarrassed by her Oasis rocker father, but now appreciates his talent — and his taste in music. “It’s only now, as I’ve got older and understand the scale of things, that I almost tear up seeing my dad play on stage,” she said.

“Now I go and see my dad and pop over to his studio and say, ‘I’m so proud of you’. But when I was younger I was literally like, ‘It’s so embarrassing, dad. Stop singing’.”

Listing David Bowie, The Smiths and The Beatles as her favourite artists, she said: “I don’t listen to anything on the radio and I doubt that anything on a playlist of mine is from the last 20 years.

“My knowledge of music has always been good because I think my dad would disown me if it wasn’t.”
