		</div><p>Caroline Aherne&#8217;s brother has slammed her ex-husband Peter Hook as &#8220;that excuse of a man&#8221; after he claimed she abused him during their relationship.</p>
<p>Patrick Aherne said he was &#8220;disgusted&#8221; at the New Order and Joy Division musician for writing that the comedian put cigarettes out on his arm and lunged at him with a knife in his new autobiography.</p>
<p>Hook was married to the Mrs Merton creator, who died of cancer aged 52 earlier this year, between 1994 and 1997.</p>
<p>Mr Aherne wrote on Facebook: &#8220;I am so disgusted by the claims made by Peter Hook in most of the tabloids today.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hook was married to my sister over 20 years ago and they were divorced because the marriage did not work well.</p>
<p>&#8220;What sort of man would make these claims after the death of Caroline? Is this because she is not here to defend herself?</p>
<p>&#8220;Why did it take Hook 20 years to make these claims? I know the general public will now realise what type of individual Hook is and I sincerely hope that they do not waste their money on his book.</p>
<p>&#8220;RIP Caroline &#8211; the world knows you were an amazing woman. I do not think the world will be saying the same about that excuse of a man called Peter Hook.&#8221;</p>
<p>In his new book, Substance, Hook writes of Aherne: &#8220;Yes I loved her, yes she could be very funny, and there were times I felt privileged to have a private audience with such a great comic talent. But she was also a very troubled person and nowhere did that manifest itself more than in our relationship.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She attacked me, using her nails to scratch at my neck, tearing off my necklace and ripping my top. It was proper shocking stuff,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>&#8220;And although she was really contrite the next morning, it marked the beginning of some serious screaming-banshee behaviour &#8211; putting cigarettes out on my arm, attacking me with bottles, knives, chairs and other assorted furniture.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It would be set off by the slightest thing &#8211; talking or looking at another woman was a favourite&#8230; I was an abused husband and it&#8217;s embarrassing, and you feel ashamed, and you can&#8217;t tell anyone. I needed help.&#8221;</p>
