Noel Gallagher says he's too busy for 'The X Factor'.
The former Oasis star has turned down the chance to join the judging panel on the talent show twice and has insisted he has no plans to clear his schedule to make time for it in the future.
He told OK! Online: "They've asked me twice now and it's not something I want to do.
"I don't want to be on TV every Saturday night. I'd rather be at home watching it with my daughter.
"Like I don't have enough to do with being in a band. It's nonsense."
The 48-year-old rocker - who has 15-year-old daughter Anais with ex-wife Meg Matthews and sons Donovan, eight, and Sonny, five, with wife Sara MacDonald - previously claimed that Simon Cowell asked him to replace him on the show when he went to America to launch the US version in 2011.
And the High Flying Birds frontman confessed his daughter was furious at him for turning it down.
He said previously: "She has never forgiven me for turning him down. I told her I'm not doing it, it's not for me - but she just screamed in my face, 'But Dad, it's 'The X Factor'."

Georgia May Foote grew up in a haunted house.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress - who is currently competing on 'Strictly Come Dancing' - has revealed her family home has been terrorised by the spirit of an old lady for years.
Georgia explained: "I know a lot of people don't believe in this but my mum and dad's house, which they've had from when I was a kid, is absolutely riddled with ghosts.
"Everybody has had an experience in the back bedroom, which used to be my room.
"At the age of three every child has screamed and said there's an old lady trying to bite their toes.
"I remember it and my sister, to this day, can't sleep with her feet out of the bed.
"Every kid that turns three is like, 'There's a lady trying to bite my toes'. There have been doors shutting and people feeling like there is someone in the house -- it is really freaky.
"I'm 24 and I still won't sleep there on my own."
The brunette beauty - who is dating her former co-star Sean Ward - claimed even her parents are convinced something spooky is going on.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I remember Mum and Dad being in bed and they said they heard this massive bang.
"When they went into the bathroom all the shampoo bottles were in the bath.
"At that time they were digging up the back garden to build on it. It's a really old terrace near a mill, so there would have been a lot of people living there.
"My mum thought they disturbed something as lots of other things happened, such as the beds moving ... It's not even a big house -- it's just scary."

'The X Factor' have axed their plans to bring in a fifth judge.
In a desperate attempt to beat rivals 'Strictly Come Dancing' in the ratings, producers for the singing contest reportedly asked legendary stars such as Sir Tom Jones and Paul McCartney to appear on the upcoming live shows, but the idea backfired because executives failed to deliver on time.
An insider revealed: "Another idea has been tossed on the scrapheap, because it wasn't planned well enough.
"This is becoming a recurring problem. Execs come up with ratings-chasing ideas on a whim, not thinking whether they will be possible, leave it too late and then ditch them."
The news comes after show boss and head judge Simon Cowell admitted he liked the idea and even hinted he was planning to ask axed judge Louis Walsh to return.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "The fifth 'legend' judge was a strange idea, borne out of a fear Strictly was pulling far ahead in the ratings.
"Up until a couple of days ago it looked like it would happen. Simon was keen. It really doesn't look good.
It seems a bit desperate."
There is also talk of 'The X Factor' copying 'Strictly' by using score boards to give contestants a mark out of ten.
A source added: 'X Factor' needs to stick to what it's good at.
"Each year we discuss potential changes. The fifth judge was simply an idea discussed internally which we decided not to proceed with for now."

Jamelia has reportedly fallen out with her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Tristan MacManus.
The 'Superstar' hitmaker has reportedly been clashing with her professional partner after they found themselves in the bottom two last weekend as he believes she's not working hard enough.
A source said: "They're really feeling the pressure after finding themselves in the bottom two last week and it has caused a bit of friction.
"Jamelia has been late for rehearsals several times and doesn't seem to be putting in as much effort as Tristan.
"He's one of the new dancers so he's super-keen to win."
The 34-year-old star and Tristan, 33, went head-to-head with Ainsley Harriott and Natalie Lowe in the dance-off on Saturday after failing to impress the public with their foxtrot.
However, judges Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli and Darcey Bussell all voted to save them and sent Ainsley home instead.
Jamelia and Tristan are now hoping to get back to their best when they dance the jive to The Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show this weekend.
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Last week was ultra-busy for Jamelia - training for 'Strictly', travelling between Birmingham and the London studios, doing 'Loose Women' and organising her daughter's 10th birthday party.
"She's a busy single mum but loves being on 'Strictly' and has found a great friend and teacher in Tristan."

Sam Sarpong has died.
The 40-year-old British-born actor, presenter and model - whose sister is June Sarpong - has reportedly taken his own life by jumping from a bridge in Pasadena, California.
His family told Us Weekly in a statement: "It is with great sadness that the family of Samuel Sarpong Jr. must share the news that Sam has passed away. The circumstances surrounding his death are currently under investigation and no additional details are known at this time. ... The family appreciates the thoughts and prayers and other expressions of sympathy, and request that privacy be respected at this extremely difficult time."
Police were reportedly called to the scene after Sam, who co-hosted MTV's 'Yo Mamma' with Wilmer Valderrama, was spotted standing outside the bridge railing.
Police Chief Phillip Sanchez said: "It is sad and troubling when an individual has become so despondent that he or she feels their only option is to end their life. These incidents can often have a significant impact on the victim's loved ones, first responders, and the community as a whole. My prayers go out to the family."
Sam's management company, Advanced Management, tweeted: "Devastated to hear that our friend and client @mrsamsarpong is no longer with us. Prayers and thoughts to the entire Sarpong family."
Sam modelled for Tommy Hilfiger, Gucci and Versace.
He also made fashion history by becoming the first black model to do a Louis Vuitton editorial campaign.
Sam had acting success in 'Veronica Mars', 'Bones', 'Everybody Hates Chris', 'Cold Case' and a small part in the upcoming 'American Crime Story'.

'The Apprentice's Ruth Whiteley has compared Karren Brady and Claude Littner to a pair of lions.
The 47-year-old owner of a sales training consultancy - who was sacked by Lord Alan Sugar on last night's (28.10.15) episode of the show - has confessed that while she got on well with his advisors during the tasks, she felt they turned their backs on her in the boardroom.
Asked if she was intimidated by them, Ruth exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "They're human, you know, they have a bit of lunch and you do get a bit of repartee and banter with them but equally, you can feel safe, but they are a little like a lion's den.
"You start to think, 'Oh, yeah, they're not so bad', and then blow me, they stick a paw out and you realise they've got quite big claws.
"You feel as though you get to know them a little bit on the task and then you go into the boardroom and they're saying you're a nincompoop."
However, Ruth was thrilled that Karren praised her sales skills in the first task even if she did describe them as "slightly creepy".
She added: "But I mean Karren was very complimentary to me. She said those immortal words, 'Even I've learnt a trick or two from Ruth'. Despite first saying it was creepy.
"They're fierce, they're feisty and they're friendly, so they're a real mixture Karren, Claude and Lord Sugar."
'The Apprentice' continues next Wednesday (04.11.15) at 9pm.

Jay McGuiness hopes his new dance moves will help him find a girlfriend.
The Wanted singer, 25, has impressed viewers and judges with his talent on 'Strictly Come Dancing' over the past few weeks and is confident his snakey hips and fast footwork will be the way into a girl's heart.
He said: "I'm single. I don't have time to think about fating while doing 'Strictly' but I'm hoping afterwards I'll have acquired some new dancing skills and I'll be a hundred more times attractive."
The handsome star, who was known as the ladies' man of his former band, has been romantically linked to his professional dance partner Aliona Vilani, who is married to her husband Vincent Kavanagh, over the past few weeks due to their passionate chemistry on screen and alleged flirty antics behind the scenes.
He told OK! magazine: "We're great mates. She's very real and she's a great teacher. We are both very alike actually as we're both determined but want to have fun."

'The Apprentice's Elle Stevenson and Mergim Butaja reportedly hooked up after the show.
The operations executive and the sales account manager are said to have enjoyed a drunken one night stand at a party hosted by fellow candidate Natalie Dean after they'd finished filming the show earlier this year.
Elle, 21, and Mergim, 23 couldn't stop flirting with one another when they were reunited at Natalie's home near Coventry and one thing is said to have led to another, with the pair sneaking off to a spare bedroom.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Tension had been building between them. When filming finished and booze was involved, they allowed their feelings to develop.
"They kept poking fun at each other and acting like teenagers, then snuck away from the group and had sex. Next morning they had sore heads and it seems regret crept in. They've kept in touch since but a full-blown romance is unlikely."
However, they're not the first candidates to hook up after meeting on the show as last year 'Celebrity Big Brother' winner James Hill is said to have romanced Lauren Riley while Jordan Poulton admitted to having secret romps with Luisa Zissman in a cupboard in the house the contestants lived in 2013.

Anita Rani is "over" her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Gleb Savchenko's good looks.
The 'Countryfile' presenter gets asked by people all the time what it's like working with the Russian hunk, but because the training is so "intense" she quickly forgets about his buff body.
She explained: "People keep asking what's it like working with Gleb and having to stare at this face all day every day, but very quickly you get over it because it's so sweaty and intense - and he's quite strict!"
Anita also admitted 'Strictly' is much more "difficult" than she thought it would be and as someone who has never danced before in her life, she is finding the training "physically demanding".
Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning', she said "I've never had a tutu, I never did tap, modern, any of that... and [Strictly] is so much more intense and difficult than I thought it would be. It's all consuming! It's brilliant, and I'm having the best time, but it's so physically demanding and learning to dance is really tough."
The 38-year-old star has also called for more revealing costumes on the show, which is very unlike her usual attire of jumpers and wellies, for presenting on 'Countryfile'.
She added: "There's been a little beast inside me that 'Strictly' has unleashed... and I'm just embracing it! The skimpier the better! Honestly."
