Avril Lavigne has said that her family mocked her cantar when she was growing up.

The singer said that her brother and sister used to mock her singing.

Avril said: 'My brother used to knock on the mural because I used to sing myself to sleep and he thought it was really annoying.

'My brother and sister used to make fun of me and say when I sang, my nostrils would flare.'

However, Avril said that she had the support of her mother.

'My mother said when I was two I came back from church cantar 'Jesus Loves Me' and she said that she knew I was going to be a singer then, she called her little songbird. So yeah, I always wanted to be a singer.'
