Perry refutes engagement claims

Katy Perry has refuted speculation that she is engaged to Travis McCoy.

A report in the New York Daily News suggested that the couple were due to marry after McCoy proposed to the singer with a diamond ring during a holiday in France.

However, Perry has denied the rumour on her blog, saying: "Not engaged! But thanks for the free press, New York Daily News! You should fact-check with the source before you spread worldwide news like that."

Perry has been dating the Gym Class Heroes star since last year.
