Liam plans to display the piece in his home alongside portraits of Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley.

Liam said: "Sponge Bob is a f***ing mental, full-of-beans enthusiastic sponge that lives at the bottom of he sea in Bikini Bottom. He's mad for it."

"He's got a mate called Squidward, who plays the clarinet, and is grumpy like our kid Noel."

"I'm having a huge painting done at the minute, a proper Andy Warhol-style portrait of Sponge Bob. He'll be facing Elvis and Hendrix."

Liam also revealed he has developed a fishy alter-ego around his home in Henley, Oxon.

He added to Q magazine: "I f**king love Henley. I go into my local and say, I am the Salmon King', stand back.' "

Liam is such a fan of Sponge Bob Square Pants, he insisted on taking his son Gene and now-wife Nicole Appleton to the premiere of the movie version of the series in 2005.
