Forget a scary monster or evil witch, this Halloween Dereck Whibley found inspiration from an unusual source - his ex-wife Avril Lavigne.

And his girlfriend Ari Cooper joined in the fun by taking the role of Avril's fiancé, Chad Kroeger. With Deryck's khohl-ringed eyes, blonde multi-hued hair and pout, and Ari's fake facial hair, the pair looked uncannily like the couple.

But one person not amused was Nickelback frontman Chad, who tweeted: 'Hey Deryck loved the costumes! We were going to dress up as you guys this year but all the parties had celebrity themes haha!'

Deryck, 32, was married to Avril between 2006 and 2009. He is the singer in rock band Sum 41, who were huge in 2002, but have had mixed fortunes of late.

Chad, 37, later sent another message to Deryck, confirming he was only joking, writing: 'You owe us a couples bowling grudge match see you when I get back from Russia!'

Although Deryck and Avril, 28, are divorced, they are still friends, and he worked on her 2011 album Goodbye Lullaby as co-producer and guitarist.

Avril is likely to have found Chad's response amusing as she recently admitted she fell for the rocker because of his sense of humour.
