<p>The star was best known for her work in The Royle Family, The Mrs Merton Show and The Fast Show.</p>
<p>Neil Reading, her publicist, said on Saturday: “Caroline Aherne has sadly passed away, after a brave battle with cancer. The Bafta award-winning writer and comedy actor died earlier today at her home in Timperley, Greater Manchester. She was 52. The family ask for privacy at this very sad time.”</p>
<p>Aherne, who was the narrator of hit Channel 4 show Gogglebox, had been battling lung cancer and had previously been treated for bladder and eye cancer.</p>
<p>A smoker, she had struggled with health problems for years.</p>
<p>Aherne had fought depression and drink problems and spent time in the Priory clinic following a suicide attempt, before moving to Australia to avoid the glare of publicity.</p>
<p>The star has also had a string of failed relationships – her marriage to former New Order guitarist Peter Hook ended and she began a romance with TV researcher Matt Bowers.</p>
<p>They split but she was devastated when he died of cancer at the age of 28.</p>
<p>Aherne admitted alcohol was an attempt to block out her problems.</p>
