New Order bassist Peter Hook has branded Morrissey a "tw*t", declaring that he never liked The Smiths.

The 53-year-old was speaking at a Q&A session in Bristol at the weekend, where he was promoting his book How Not To Run A Club.

"There's no way I could have liked The Smiths as they were our competition. Morrissey's a tw*t anyway. He makes Mark E. Smith look popular! He really does," NME quotes him as saying.

Hook added: "What I do love about Mozzer though, is that any time anyone has any legal problem with him, the only person you can speak to about it is his mother! That's true.

"So if you have a problem you have to deal with Morrissey's mother. And the first thing she says is, 'Our Steven wouldn't do that!'"
