Meg Mathews breaks her social media silence after arrest

Meg Mathews breaks her social media silence with serene posts from dog charity visits and trips to the Cornish coast – days after she was arrested for ‘drunkenly crashing her car into a stationary vehicle’

Meg Mathews returned to social media with a flurry of posts on Wednesday morning, just days after spending a night in police custody for allegedly crashing her car while under the influence of alcohol. 

The ex-wife of former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher was arrested following her own book launch on Friday after police were called to a collision in Nansledan, Cornwall. 

Mathews, 57,  is alleged to have climbed behind the wheel of her car while intoxicated following the book signing before allegedly smashing into a stationary vehicle.

After spending a night in the cells at Bodmin police station she returned to Instagram this week, but avoided mentioning the issue while updating her followers. 

Instead, Mathews, a parent to model daughter Anais Gallagher with her former husband, posted serene clips of an early morning swim off the Cornish coast, where she was joined by close friend Milla Magee.

Police responded to a two-vehicle collision in Stret Ewyn, Newquay around 9.20pm on Friday.

Mathews, of Hilgrove Mews, Newquay, allegedly smashed her yellow jeep into a parked vehicle just minutes after she left a book promotion event at the Teylu homeware and fashion shop in Nansleden.

The owner of the grey Ford Kuga that she allegedly struck contacted police, The Sun reported. Gaffer tape was also seen near the vehicle’s left rear wheel arch.

It is understood that Mathews was breathalysed at the scene and taken into custody on suspicion of drink-driving. She has since been charged and is scheduled to appear in court at the end of the month.

Mathews had advertised the book launch on her Instagram page in the build up to the event, which she called Cards, Margs & Menopause, in a nod to the Tarot reading, Margarita cocktail making and book signing that was taking place.

Organisers described her new book as a ‘no-holds-barred guide to menopause designed to entertain and empower women in equal measure. 

‘It’s full of Meg’s personal insights as well as the latest information and advice from a wide range of menopause and lifestyle experts.’

Mathews was one of the most recognisable faces in the Nineties party scene, courtesy of her relationship with Mr Gallagher and famous pals including Kate Moss, as part of the infamous ‘Primrose Hill Set’.

Her four-year marriage to Noel ended in 2001 but the pair continue to co-parent daughter Anaïs, 23.

She moved to Cornwall in 2021 and has supported a number of local charities, including Surfers Against Sewage.
