Scherzinger denies will.i.am romance

Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls has denied dating rapper will.i.am.

The pair were rumoured to be an item after they were seen kissing at the Opera nightclub in Los Angeles earlier this month.

However, Scherzinger told MTV that she sees the Black Eyed Peas founder as family, saying: "That is the funniest thing because Will is like my brother and I don't know when the last time I had seen him was. He has been on tour."

The singer is reportedly dating British F1 star Lewis Hamilton.
