Katie Price "only friends" with model

Katie Price has brushed off suggestions that she is dating Argentinian model Leandro Penna.

The reality TV star has been romantically linked to Penna after being photographed embracing him following this year's Oscars.

Price fuelled speculation that the pair were a couple by posting an image on Twitter of her together with Penna and friends Gary Cockerill and Phil Turner, with the statement: "Having dinner and fun with friends."

She has now added: "Leandro is great looking guy -we are only friends though! (sic)"

Penna recently said that he will not talk about his personal life and added that he does not "want to compromise Katie".
