Panettiere denies reuniting with ex-boyfriend

Hayden Panettiere has denied rumours that she is back together with her socialite ex-boyfriend.

Harry Morton, who has previously been romantically linked to Lindsay Lohan, was believed to be dating the Heroes star again after they were spotted together enjoying a night out in Los Angeles.

However, Panettiere, who was rumoured to be dating Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko since last December, told the New York Post of Morton: "We're just friends."

Morton and Panettiere dated briefly last August following her split from co-star Milo Ventimiglia.
