Meg Mathews appears to be in legal hot water after allegedly setting off to drive under the influence in Newquay, Cornwall, where she resides, on Friday 7 June. The former wife of Oasis star Noel Gallagher, who shares daughter Anais with the musician, is said to have crashed her yellow Jeep Wrangler into a parked car after spending the day at a signing for her own book.
The ex-music executive 'spent the night in a cell' in Bodmin police station and is set to appear in court later this month, according to reports. A police spokeswoman said: "Police were called around 9:20pm on Friday, July 7 following reports of a two-vehicle collision in Stret Ewyn, Newquay.
"Meg Matthews, aged 57, of Hilgrove Mews, Newquay, has been charged with driving a motor vehicle whilst under the influence of alcohol," they added to MailOnline. The blonde was taking part in a signing for her book, The New Hot, inside homeware store Teylu Trading ahead of the alleged incident.
Dubbed 'Cards, Margs and Menopause', the event invited fans to get their own tarot card reading and enjoy a margarita cocktail while having their book signed by Meg. Released in 2020, the hit book aims to "break down the taboos about the menopause", giving women knowledge on the topic and what to look out for.
Meg rose to prominence as one part of the infamous 1990's Primrose Hill Set during her relationship with Noel, which saw her party alongside the likes of Kate Moss, Jude Law and Sadie Frost.
She met Oasis hitmaker Noel in 1994 via her roommate at the time, presenter Rebecca de Ruvo. The couple tied the knot three years later in Las Vegas.
Meg and Noel split just four years later in 2001, shortly after the birth of their daughter Anais, with Noel going on to have a relationship with publicist Sara McDonald – which ended in January this year.
But having moved on, former couple Meg and Noel are now civil as co-parents, with her saying in the past: "He's a great dad and he loves Anais to death and whatever went on between us doesn't affect her, but we're not the best of mates."
"When I see him, I feel no emotion, no feelings, which is amazing because before I'd be full of it," she added.
