Ben O’Grady says autobiography is unfair
Tuesday, 2 December 2008
Paul O'Grady’s new memoirs stretch the truth, according to his brother Ben.
In At My Mother's Knee... And Other Low Joints the comedian claims his mum and aunt didn’t get along with neighbours in Birkenhead, Merseyside, because of their wild lifestyle.
But Ben, 64, insists his younger sibling has misrepresented them.
‘They were very intelligent respectable women who were popular in the neighbourhood,’ he tells the Sunday People.
‘My mum was always reading books and Aunt Chrissy's only vice was cigarettes.
‘He claims to have been a champion boxer but I don't recall him doing any sport, let alone boxing. He couldn't box a kipper!
'He has just concocted a load of fantasies, a lot of them hurtful.’
Paul, 53, was unavailable for comment.

ive just finished reading paul o'gradys book and i dont think he portrayed his mother and aunt as 'wild', in fact he said that aunty chrissie didn't drink and his mother was a staunch catholic! unless ive misread something!!
