Noel Gallagher’s ex-wife Meg Mathews charged with drink-driving ‘after crashing her Jeep into a parked car’
NOEL Gallagher’s ex-wife Meg Mathews has been charged with drink-driving after allegedly crashing into a parked car.
Mathews, 57, is said to have smashed her yellow Jeep minutes after an event promoting her new book.
Police are understood to have been called by the owner of a grey Ford Kuga she’s alleged to have hit.
Gaffer tape was seen around its left rear wheel arch.
Former music PR Mathews, mum to Oasis star Noel’s daughter Anaïs, 23, was breathalysed at the scene then taken into custody.
Sources said she was screaming as cops handcuffed her in Newquay, Cornwall, where she now lives, on Friday night.
She was out by Saturday evening, when she shared a pic of a group of women captioned: “About yesterday.”
Earlier, she had been promoting her book about the menopause, called The New Hot at Teylu Trading, a homeware shop near to the crash scene.
The event was scheduled from 5pm to 9pm.
Mathews married Noel, 56, in Las Vegas in 1997. They split in 2001.
She has been charged with driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and is due to appear before Bodmin magistrates’ court on July 28.
When approached by The Sun about the incident, she said: “No comment.”
Devon and Cornwall Police said: “Police were called at 9.20pm on Friday following reports of a two-vehicle collision in Newquay.
“One person was arrested in connection to this matter.
“Following police enquiries, one person has since been charged.”
