Gardener's Shock: Liam Gallagher Sacked Without Notice!
GARDENING GATE: Liam Gallagher's Shock Sacking of His Favourite Gardener Exposed
In a bombshell revelation, Tom Ceze, the devoted gardener who tended to the breathtaking bougainvilleas and citrus trees at Liam Gallagher's majestic hideaway on the French Riviera, has come forward with a scathing account of his abrupt dismissal. The 45-year-old professional horticulturist, who was hired personally by the Oasis superstar in early 2023, claims he was callously axed without warning or explanation.
According to Tom, who spoke exclusively to The Scholarly Note.com, the relationship between him and Liam began on a harmonious note. "We would often have coffee and beers together," Tom shared, reminiscing about their initial interactions. However, things took a drastic turn when, out of the blue, Tom received a phone call from Liam's manager, Gemma, informing him that his services were no longer required.
The news was met with shock and disappointment by Tom, who had built his life around this dream job. "I was relying on the work," he confessed. "And now other millionaires in the South of France won't hire me as they think I will make problems." Tom went on to reveal that he had even hired another gardener to help him manage the workload, only to be left stranded when Liam abruptly terminated his contract.
The fallout between the two men was first reported last August, with Tom taking to an expat forum to express his frustration. "This is not nice! We are in France!" he wrote, echoing his sentiments about the shocking manner of his dismissal. Now, for the first time, Tom has given a detailed account of what transpired.
As it turns out, Liam hired Tom personally after meeting him through his manager. The two men shook hands on a deal that would have seen Tom tend to the six-acre estate's lush gardens in exchange for £25 an hour (30 euros). "We believed we had a gentleman's agreement," Tom explained. "A handshake was enough if you're both honest people." However, it appears Liam did not uphold his end of the bargain.
The property in question is none other than the six-bedroom 18th-century villa that Liam purchased from TV star Noel Edmonds for £3 million in 2023. The stunning estate boasts a heated swimming pool, pool house, and 'summer kitchen', set amidst an exquisite landscape of Mediterranean and exotic trees. It's no wonder that Tom was drawn to this idyllic retreat, especially given his passion for gardening.
However, it seems Liam's priorities lay elsewhere. Insiders close to the family revealed that the pop star had been more focused on putting his own stamp on the property than maintaining a harmonious working relationship with his loyal gardener. "He and Debbie plan to put their own mark on it," said a source. "They find all the carvings of Noel's name quite funny and ironic."
This is not the first time Liam has been at the centre of controversy surrounding this particular property. Last year, reports emerged that the estate had become a hotspot for dogging (invasion by groups engaging in casual sex). A member-only swinging site boasted about their escapades on Liam's property, with one user writing: "Me, the missus and our pals love it when we're rockin' out at Liam's place. He's welcome to join in!"
However, Liam denied these claims, stating: "There are no doggers, no sex people." But it appears his dismissal of Tom may have been more than just a mere miscommunication.
In the aftermath of his sacking, Tom has spoken candidly about the emotional toll this experience has taken on him. He shared that he was forced to hire lawyers in Nice to secure even the basic courtesy of two weeks' notice before returning to collect his tools. "I had to fight for it," he said. "It's been a nightmare trying to get resolution."
As for Tom, he has now relocated to Uganda, where he runs an eco-friendly coffee company called Tom's Green Coffee Company. His business focuses on providing specialty coffee from beans grown in the Rwenzori Mountains that are hand-picked by local farmers and families.
When asked about his plans to confront Liam directly, Tom remained resolute: "My message to Liam is, You hired me in person so you should at least have the balls to fire me face-to-face." With the Oasis reunion tour set to kick off this Friday, we can only wonder what lies ahead for these two men.
Sources close to the Gallagher family declined to comment on this explosive story. But one thing's for certain – Liam's sacking of Tom Ceze has raised more than a few eyebrows in the horticultural community. Will he ever find redemption or be able to put his past behind him? Only time will tell.
