Staying at £1,000-a-night Claridge’s in London’s Mayfair, Noel happily pokes fun at £95-a-box cream teas and rubs shoulders with Hollywood stars.
The former Oasis rocker, believed to be worth over £50million, has booked his wife Sara MacDonald and their children Donovan and Sonny, while his plumber gets to work.
Noel said: “We had no heating for a week. The house is freezing. It will take a week to warm it up.
“I was like, ‘F*** this, I can’t stay here, this is depressing’.
“So, we’re at Claridge’s, and why not?” If you f*****g could, you would.
“I had the day off, hanging out in Soho and trying to avoid having my picture taken, so I decided to have a huge afternoon tea with sandwiches and scones and c ‘was great.
“I would say this hotel is the best and I bumped into Sean Penn today – he was walking around reception. He took off his glasses and did a double take and I had a chinwag with him. He’s a guy.
Claridge’s has long been popular with the rich and famous.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson held a fundraiser for the Conservative Party here last week, Dame Joan Collins recently celebrated her 88th birthday there and the Royal Family often visit.
All is well for some, then.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN takes the limelight from her famous sisters for a change as she steps out in a black latex bodysuit and jeans so ripped they’re hanging by wires.
The reality TV regular, who will return to screens next week on her famous family’s new Disney+ show, The Kardashians, recently had to tweet in defense of how often she is seen carrying her three-year-old daughter, True.

She said: “For people commenting that I hold True too much. First, I’m gonna hold my baby until I can’t hold her anymore.
“Number 2, when there’s tons of cameras around, flashing lights, people screaming things, I want my baby to feel safe.”
Khloe assured critics, “Worry about your own kids. We’re fine here.
French Brangelina not like Marion
THEY are France’s answer to Brangelina but we can reveal that, like their American counterparts, Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard and her longtime partner, actor Guillaume Canet, have gone their separate ways.
Marion, named best actress in 2008 for her turn as singer Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose, has ended their 15-year relationship and moved on from the luxury cushion they shared in Paris.

We hear from Marion’s close friend, Camille Cottin, who stole the show in Netflix hit Call My Agent! and Killing Eve – gave her a place to stay in town and a shoulder to cry on.
A pal said: “Marion and Guillaume still have a lot of respect for each other but feel their relationship has run its course.
“They tried to make it work but decided to go their separate ways a few months ago. The couple gives each other the space they need and spends time with different people.
We’re told that tensions between the couple have been building up over the past year as they worked on their next film Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom. It should be out next year.
Meanwhile, Camille, who stars alongside national treasure Dame Helen Mirren in the upcoming political biopic Golda, has helped Marion deal with the split.
They have been friends for years, with Marion recently calling him “my sister”.
In 2016, Marion denied rumors that her ally co-star Brad Pitt had split from Angelina Jolie, and she wished them “peace in this very tumultuous time.”
Back to you, Marion. . .
Aurora lights up Brixton
NORWEGIAN star Aurora wowed fans this week in London as she performed her biggest ever UK show, at a sold-out Brixton Academy.
The singer took to the stage barefoot, lit by a giant mystical orb, and opened with her single Heathens – before launching into the underdog anthem Queendom.

The track was taken over by the crowd, who threw a rainbow flag on stage and cheered as they wrapped themselves in it.
Aurora’s impressive set also included fan favorites Runaway and Warrior – as the adoring audience joined her in slapping the air during the chorus.
And she sang Dangerous Thing and Cure For Me, two recent singles from her album The Gods We Can Touch, before concluding with the euphoric Giving In To The Love.
As ITV bosses discuss bringing back Pop Idol, former judge Neil Fox has slammed TV talent shows and revealed he no longer speaks to Simon Cowell.
He said: “These shows feel a bit old. If Idol comes back, that would have to change. I haven’t spoken to Simon in about five years. He still looks very good. It’s amazing what plastic surgery can do.
Ouch! We assume he doesn’t want his old job back then. . .
DJ SPOONY performs his show Garage Classical at Kew Gardens in London on July 7, with guests So Solid Crew, Heartless Crew, DJ Pied Piper and Da Click.

His show, with a 36-piece orchestra, was a huge success when it launched five years ago and has gone from strength to strength.
