Noel Gallagher and Robbie Williams make Top 10 'Funny Brits' list

Oasis hitmaker Noel Gallagher and singer Robbie Williams have been named some of Britain's wittiest stars.

The poll was carried out to mark the start of TV channel Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival and 2,000 people were asked to choose from a list of 25 celebrities, which excluded professional comedians.

'Don't Look Back In Anger' musician Gallagher came in seventh and 'Candy' sensation Williams placed just before him at No.6.

Steve North, Dave's general manager, said of the list: "Britain is a hotbed of comedy talent and it's clear you don't have to be on the comedy payroll to get the nation laughing, as our top ten of Britain's greatest living wits encompasses celebrities from diverse fields including the worlds of sport, music, film and politics."

The quote chosen to represent Robbie Williams was: "Madonna looked amazing. I can't believe she's 89 and looks like that."

Gallagher's, meanwhile, was in reference to footballer Wayne Rooney: "I'm not having it, He looks like a f**king balloon with a f**king Weetabix crushed on top."
