The GB News star shared an incredible photo of himself, his brothers and his friend from 1996

GB News star Christopher Hope looks unrecognisable as he shared an incredible throwback photo from the 90s with his Breakfast co-host Ellie Costello.

While discussing plans to ban the resale of concert tickets at an increased price, Christopher revealed an image from the time he saw Oasis play Knebworth in 1996.


Joined by broadcasters Suzan Holder and Aman Bhogal, Ellie and the GB News panel struggled to pinpoint which of the four men in the photo was in fact Christopher.

Gasping at the photo shown on screen, Ellie gasped: "Look at that!"

Showing the photo to the GB News panel and viewers, Ellie said: "Chopper, let's start with you, because we were talking about tickets and ministers who are going to ban the resale of tickets, because of a huge price surge.

"And it brought us back to the days of Oasis the first time around."

Christopher explained: "Oasis in 1996, they played to 250,000 people in Knebworth. And the four of those people were me, my brothers and my mate Scott - Johnny, Richard, Scott and me."

As the incredible 90's photo was shown on screen for GB News viewers, the panel let out an "aww" as Ellie asked: "Is Johnny your twin?!

"So Johnny is on the far left, and he is the spitting image of you. I'm seeing double!"

Mr Bhogal then guessed which one Christopher was, asking the panel: "And Chris is on the far right then?"

The GB News host then revealed: "I'm the older of the three, and then there's Richard there as well. But those t-shirts are worth lots of money now."

Asked by Mrs Holder if he still owns the t-shirt, Christopher admitted: "No, I've binned mine, but Johnny kept his, and it's now worth some money."

Asked by Mr Bhogal how many Oasis tickets he would be able to buy today if he was able to sell the pictured t-shirt, Christopher said: "Well, that's the question. They cost £22.50 each, £45 today, and that's a fraction of the cost of the tickets to see them today."

Mrs Holder told the GB News panel about her encounter with the Gallagher brothers, saying: "We also went to see them in 1996 when they played Maine Road and they played 'Cum On Feel the Noize', which my husband, Noddy Holder, wrote.

"And Noel Gallagher sent his wife at the time up to stage to take a picture of Noddy while he was watching them, because Noel wanted to have a picture of Noddy's face while he was watching the whole crowd singing the song.

"And we met them a couple of times too."
