Michelle Heaton has denied rumours that she is in a relationship with ex-footballer Lee Sharpe.

The former Liberty X popstar ended her marriage with Andy Scott-Lee earlier this month. The couple blamed the split on "personal problems".

Heaton was spotted cuddling Sharpe at a charity event shortly after the break-up, sparking rumours that she may be romancing the Celebrity Love Island contestant.

Speaking about the allegations, Heaton told OK!: "All that stuff about me and Lee Sharpe and getting together with other blokes is ridiculous."

Her friend Katie Price commented: "I know all the reasons for the split. I’ve known for ages. I’m always there for her."
