Fielding: 'Geldof and I are just friends'

Noel Fielding has branded suggestions that he and Pixie Geldof are romantically linked as "fairytales".

The Mighty Boosh star was reportedly seen kissing the 19-year-old on a night out in London last week.

However, Fielding, 35, insisted that they are "just friends", adding: "It's just these things are... like fairytales, aren't they?

"We're just friends that's all, but you can't be friends in this country without someone booking a church and trying to get you married."

Fielding joked that he is really in a relationship with his Mighty Boosh co-star Julian Barratt, reports PA.

"We live like one road away from each other, I have just bought a house where on the roof garden you can see into his window so I am gonna get a telescope to make sure he says he's doing what he's doing," he said.
